Calligrapher: Sun Zhong Shan (1866 – 1925)

Overview: Sun Zhong Shan was the Founding Father of the Republic of China cherished by people of both sides of the straits. The Father of the 1911 Chinese Revolution was also the Founder of Kuomintang (Chinese Nationalist Party) who championed ‘The Three Principles of the People’ (nationalism, democracy and the people’s livelihood). Sun was a strong advocate against feudalism. One of his main political ideals was to establish a republic by overthrowing the absolute monarchy system. He set up Zhong Guo Tong Men Hui (literally means the Chinese Alliance for Democracy) in 1905, paving the way for the game-changing 1911 Chinese Revolution. Upon the successful 1911 Chinese Revolution (a.k.a Xin Hai Revolution), Sun became the first interim President of the Republic of China. In 1940, he was officially immortalized as the ‘Father of the Republic of China’. Sun was not initially known for his calligraphy finesse. However, given his calligraphy works that bear the characteristics synonymous with Yan Zhen Qing, Su Dong Po and ancient Northern Dynasties’, his calligraphy artistry started to gain attention among scholars. His calligraphy bears a rather relaxing style, but it exudes a spirit of broad-heartedness, vigour and grandeur, befitting a scholarly cultured personality.
