Sun Yat-Sen: His Political and Social Ideals - Hardcover

""Sun Yat-Sen: His Political and Social Ideals"" is a biography written by Leonard Shihlien Hsu that explores the life and ideas of Sun Yat-Sen, a Chinese revolutionary and politician who played a pivotal role in the overthrow of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. The book delves into Sun's upbringing and education, his early political activism, and his eventual rise to power as the leader of the Kuomintang party. Hsu examines Sun's political and social philosophy, which was heavily influenced by Western democratic ideals and Chinese traditional values, and how he sought to implement these ideas in his vision for a modern, democratic China. The book also covers Sun's relationships with other prominent figures of the time, including Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Zedong, and his ongoing struggle to unite the various factions within China and establish a stable government. Through Hsu's detailed analysis of Sun's life and ideas, readers gain a deeper understanding of the complex political and social landscape of early 20th century China and the lasting impact of Sun's legacy on Chinese history and politics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
