Perhaps no other statesman in recent history has affected the direction of modern politics, education and leadership in China than Sun Zhongshan (Sun Yat-sen as pronounced according to Cantonese dialect)。
中国的许多路名叫“中山路”，而以“中山”命名的建筑和公园也遍布各地，可见孙中山在中国人心中的地位。同样，孙中山在世界上也没有几个政治家能与之相提并论。孙中山起共和而终帝制，开创了中国民主革命风起云涌的历史新篇章，可以说功载千秋、万古流芳。
Born in Guangdong Province and educated abroad, Sun Yet-sen was a doctor, a writer, a revolutionary and then finally a politician. The final step was the first president of the Republic of China putting an end to thousands of years of imperial rule and laying the foundations for a modern China。
孙中山出生在广东省，而后出国接受教育。他曾是一位医生、作家，而后成为革命家、政治家。1912年1月1日，中华民国临时政府在南京成立，孙中山被推举为临时大总统。
