On this day seven score and one year ago, Sun Yat-sen was born. Sun started a process that has given China more than a little headache – to say the least.
He was given shelter in Macau, where his house, which I have visited, still stands today – or at least it did in 1999.
Macau was at the time of the sheltering a colony of Portugal, where the monarchy fell in 1910. With the help of Sun Yat-sen, the Chinese monarchy fell in 1911.
