Sun Yat-sen House Museum

Sun Yat-sen is not just a world famous person, but also a real legend of China, his national hero. The name of this revolutionary is known in all countries of the world, and some even compare the scale of his personality with the ancient sages Confucius and Mencius. All of them shared a common idea – the desire to unite the people of China, to unite the people. Only Sun Yat-sen managed to bring this idea to life. For this, he is fondly called “the father of the Chinese people”, “the father of the nation”.

Between 1918 and 1924, Sun Yat-sen lived in Shanghai, in a house provided by the Chinese diaspora in Canada. He lived here with his wife Song Qingling and his sister. The famous revolutionary held many important meetings and events here, including negotiations with representatives of the USSR. He believed that the two great powers could unite and move together towards a bright communist future.

In 1925, Sun Yat-sen’s heart stopped beating, and twenty years later, a memorial was built in his residence. The house has a special atmosphere and color of the 20s. Many personal belongings of the great politician, archives of documents and photographs and even the famous doctor’s briefcase are still stored here. The Chinese revere this museum as one of the main cultural attractions of the country.
