What was Sun Yat-sen's youth like?
Like many farm children, Sun Yat-sen went up the mountain to chop wood when he was a child. When he was a little older, he went to the fields to transplant rice seedlings and weed, and sometimes he went fishing with his grandfather. At the age of seven, Sun Yat-sen went to a private school to learn, recite China ancient books such as San and Qian, and practice calligraphy at the same time. The traditional China culture nourishes the smart boy's body and mind.

Let him gradually understand the development history and civilization achievements of China, an ancient country. 10 years old, Sun Yat-sen entered the Lujia ancestral hall and studied the Four Books and Five Classics. He studied hard and made outstanding achievements. He often listens to Taiping veterans telling the story of Taiping Army's resistance to Qing Dynasty under the big banyan tree in front of the house. Corruption in the Qing dynasty and the rebellion of the people are deeply rooted in his little mind.

Although Sun Yat-sen was still very young at that time and knew nothing about the democratic revolution, there was no clear definition in the hearts of ordinary people at that time, but he was also extremely indignant at the corrupt and incompetent rule of the Qing government. In the countryside, Sun Yat-sen saw the pain of women being forced to bind their feet, the cruelty of handmaiden being beaten by their masters at will, and the sinking of villagers gambling.

Seeing the brutality of the officers and men oppressing good people, he felt very sad and angry, and he sprouted the idea of seeing the outside world. 1879 13-year-old Sun Yat-sen went to Honolulu with his mother by boat to find his eldest brother. They are on a 2000-ton English ship named Granock. Sun Yat-sen looked at the vast sea on the deck of the ship. "I saw the strangeness of the ship and the width of the sea.

Naturally, there is a desire for western learning and a desire to be poor in the world. "Since then, Sun Yat-sen has felt the power of machines and the development of western science and technology. After Sun Yat-sen arrived in Honolulu, he first entered Jurany Middle School, a missionary school, and left school three years later, ranking first in his English class. 1883 In the first month, Sun Yat-sen went to Aoahou College, the highest institution of learning in Hawaii, to attend preparatory classes, and left school six months later, when Sun Yat-sen was dissatisfied with 17 years old.

Sun Mei, the eldest brother, was afraid that Sun Yat-sen would be baptized and become a Christian, so he suspended his studies at Aoahou College and ordered him to return to China. 1In June of 883, Sun Yat-sen returned to China by boat. After the ship entered the waters of China, it was blackmailed by the Qing tax collectors, and Sun Yat-sen further felt the corruption of the Qing Dynasty. After returning to Cuiheng Village, he saw a China who paid exorbitant taxes.

The villagers are conservative, the teaching in private schools is still the old rules, rote memorization and little spiritual enlightenment. After returning to Cuiheng Village, Sun Yat-sen often told the children about the revolutionary deeds of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Napoleon and Washington. One day, he took a group of children out to play, passed by the Arctic Temple and saw many people kneeling there. He stepped forward and broke the idol's hand.

Caused great dissatisfaction among the villagers. His father, Sun Dacheng, offered 12 silver to repair the statue in order to reconcile. At this time, Sun Yat-sen couldn't stay in his hometown any longer. He went to Hong Kong to continue his studies. 1883165438+1October, 17-year-old Sun Yat-sen left Cuiheng Village to study English at Hong Kong Baptist College. In his spare time, he asked Feng Yong, the head of Dao Ji Church, to help him with Chinese. Qu Fengyou changed the name of "Yixian" for Sun Yat-sen.

In Hong Kong, he was baptized by American pastor Hillary Clinton and signed it as "Rixin". Sun Yat-sen believes that the purpose of Christian salvation is linked with revolution, and his religious belief focuses on spirit rather than sticking to the rules. The name "Rixin" embodies his spirit of going to the old and welcoming the new and accepting new things. 1In April of 884, Sun Yat-sen transferred to Hong Kong Central College, when he was under 18 years old.

Central Academy aims at communicating Chinese and Western cultures, with perfect equipment and rigorous teaching. 1894 was renamed "Ren Huang Academy". Little by little, the accumulation of knowledge and the desire for a civilized and democratic world brought about by the experience of going abroad have deeply rooted the revolutionary fire in the young Sun Yat-sen's heart.

The story of Mr. Zhongshan and Zhongshan suit;

Since the birth of 1923, Chinese tunic suit has been the most popular and favorite dress for men in China for more than 50 years. The founder of Zhongshan suit is Dr. Sun Yat-sen, a democratic revolutionary in China. During the period of 1923, when Dr. Sun Yat-sen was the Grand Marshal of China Revolutionary Government, he felt that the suit was not only bulky and inconvenient to wear, but also unsuitable for the actual requirements of people's life and work in China at that time.

But China's original clothes (chest blouses and big-breasted gowns, etc.). ) failed to fully demonstrate the enterprising spirit of the people of China at that time, and had similar shortcomings in practice. Therefore, it is advocated to take the "enterprise collar" shirt popular among overseas Chinese in Nanyang at that time as the basic sample, and add a reverse collar on the enterprise collar to replace the hard collar of the suit shirt. In this way, a suit jacket is also put on a dress.

The shirt and collar change the three hidden pockets of the "corporate collar dress" jacket into four open pockets, and the two open pockets below are also cut into the style of "piano bag", which can expand and contract with the number of items put in. Dr. Sun Yat-sen said that he reformed his pockets so that books, notebooks and other necessities for study and work could be put in his pockets. Because of the soft cover on the pocket, the things in the pocket will not be easily lost.

The trousers designed by Dr. Sun Yat-sen are: the front is sewn, with hidden buttons, a large hidden pocket on the left and right, a small hidden pocket (watch pocket) on the front, and a hidden pocket on the right rear hip, with soft sleeves. This kind of trousers is convenient to wear and suitable for carrying personal necessities. The assistant who helped Dr. Sun Yat-sen create the Zhongshan suit was Huang Longsheng, a native of Taishan, Guangdong. He originally opened a Longsheng western-style clothes shop in Paul Bart Street in Hanoi, Vietnam.

1902 12 In February, Dr. Sun Yat-sen went to Hanoi to organize a Zhong Xing meeting, and occasionally went into his shop to shop and talk with him. Huang Longsheng was greatly impressed to learn that his current client is Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the leader of the revolutionary party. He earnestly asked to attend the Zhong Xing meeting and make donations for the revolution. 1923 worked with Dr. Sun Yat-sen in the Grand Marshal's Office. When Dr. Sun Yat-sen designed the tunic suit, he was asked to help sew it.

Successfully made the world's first Zhongshan suit. When Dr. Sun Yat-sen put on his own suit, which was also the first suit in the world, he said, "This suit is beautiful, practical, convenient and economical. Unlike a suit, you need a stiff collar in addition to a coat and shirt. Most of these things are imported (most of them were imported from foreign countries at that time), which is laborious and expensive. " You can also see it from here.

Even in clothing and other necessities of life, Mr. Zhongshan is based on the actual situation of his country. This spirit of self-reliance is always worth learning. Because of its beauty, practicality and convenience, Zhongshan suit was warmly welcomed by the masses once advocated by Dr. Sun Yat-sen.
