October 10 of this year is the 110th anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution, and the Republic of China period (including the present-day Taiwan region), also known as the "Double Tenth Festival", is the birth day of the Republic of China, commemorating the bourgeois democratic revolution that broke out in China. Because the year is counted as the Year of Xinhai, it is called the Xinhai Revolution. It took place on the basis of the increasing decay of the Qing Dynasty, the further deepening of imperialist aggression, and the initial growth of Chinese national capitalism. Its purpose was to overthrow the autocratic rule of the Qing Dynasty, save the nation from peril, and strive for national independence, democracy, and prosperity. Leading this revolution was the Chinese bourgeois party league and its leader, Sun Yat-sen. This revolution ended China's 2,000-year-old absolute monarchy and was a great revolutionary movement.
