The Historical Background of Sun Yat-sen's Abandoning Medicine for Politics
(1) Patriots who grew up in foreign countries

Sun Yat-sen was born in a small mud brick house in Cuiheng Village, Xiangshan County, Guangdong Province (now Zhongshan City) on October 6, 2005. His original name was Yixian (1866 1 12).

Cuiheng Village is adjacent to Macao, with mountains and seas at its back, and there are only 60 or 70 families.

There is a younger brother who is single and named Mei (1854- 19 15). A sister named Qian Miao (1863- 1955).

Because Sun Wen was alias Zhongshan Qiao when he was engaged in the Japanese revolution, he was called Sun Yat-sen after the 1911 Revolution.

Sun Yat-sen's ancestors worked in agriculture for generations, and his father Sun Dacheng (18 13- 1888) was a poor farmer, shoemaker and night watchman.

Poplar (1828- 19 10).

When Sun Yat-sen was 6 years old, he took part in labor, collecting firewood, raising pigs and herding cattle, and only went to village school at the age of 9, so he later said that he was "born in poverty" and "an acre of land was born with farmers and knew the suffering of crops".

At the beginning of the year when Sun Yat-sen was born, Kang Wang Wang Haiyang, the pillar of China, died in Jiaying, Guangdong, and the last Taiping Army in the south was wiped out.

When Sun Yat-sen was young, he often listened to Feng, an old farmer who had joined the Taiping Army, telling stories under the old banyan tree in front of his house. He admired Hong Xiuquan and said, "If only Hong Xiuquan had destroyed the Qing Dynasty!"

Sun Mei, Sun Yat-sen's brother, once worked as a long-term laborer in the landlord's house, and later came to Honolulu, Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean to reclaim land.

Honolulu, also known as Lu Lu badminton, is located on the southeast coast of Oahu.

In Hawaiian, it means "shielded land" or "shielded bay". Because early sandalwood was rich and sold in large quantities in China, it was called Honolulu by China people.

In the local area, Sun Mei opened pastures and shops, and gradually developed into an overseas Chinese entrepreneur.

1879 (the fifth year of Guangxu), Sun Yat-sen was thirteen years old and left his hometown for Honolulu with his mother. "At first, I saw the strangeness of the boat and the vastness of the sea. Naturally, I yearned for Western learning and wanted to be poor in the world."

In the local area, Sun Yat-sen first studied English in Aranyi School sponsored by the Anglican Church.

As early as 1850 (30 years of Daoguang), France brought democracy to Hawaii and the kingdom began to have a parliamentary system.

So Sun Yat-sen can accept more new ideas at school.

When his classmates asked him why he still wore braids, he replied, "Manchu forced us to do this stupid custom." We must wait until all China people are determined to get rid of it, or at least most people let the whole world know about it.

And this braid is just one of many humiliations suffered by China, and we should get rid of all these humiliations at once.

"/kloc-When he was 0/6 years old, Sun Yat-sen graduated and entered OahuCollege, the highest institution on the island.

This school is run by the American Church, which is more liberal than the Italian Aranyi School. Sun Yat-sen can systematically accept the education of western politics and natural science, and gradually form a new world view.

Sun Yat-sen thinks that the education in Honolulu is very different from that in China.

After class, he often confides to his classmates in China, determined to "improve the motherland and save his classmates".

Later, Dr. Sun Yat-sen recalled this experience, claiming that "it was envisaged at that time that if all China people were to be rescued from their sufferings, they should all enjoy happiness and then be quick".

1883 (the ninth year of Guangxu), Sun Mei ordered Sun Yat-sen to return to China for trying to be baptized and join Christianity.

(2) Two worlds at home and abroad

On the way back to China, Sun Yat-sen first went to Hong Kong and then went home by boat.

Passing through the China checkpoint, he personally experienced the difficulties and extortion of officials, which made Sun Yat-sen feel the difference between China and Honolulu.

After Sun Yat-sen returned to Cuiheng Village, he went to the Hong Kong parish library to study because he and his classmate Lu destroyed the statue of the Arctic Temple, which was unacceptable to the secular world.

In the meantime, chatting with classmates about the monuments of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom often takes Hong Xiuquan as the second self-esteem.

At the end of the year, join Christianity.

In March of the following year, he was transferred to the Central Academy of Fine Arts.

1886 (in the 12th year of Guangxu reign) entered Guangzhou Ji Bo Hospital to study medicine, and made friends with Zheng Shiliang, a member of the underworld.

The following year, I transferred to Hong Kong College of Western Medicine to study.

I heard that his younger brother destroyed the idol and joined Christianity, and ordered him to return to Tan and was beaten.

Sun Yat-sen not only refused, but also threw the statue of Guan Di in Sun Mei's study into the toilet and resolutely returned to Hong Kong.

During his stay in Hong Kong, Sun Yat-sen saw the orderly streets, magnificent buildings and progressive society. This situation is quite different from that in his hometown. Since the two places are only more than 50 miles apart, how can they become two worlds? He asked himself, "outsiders can make such great achievements on a desert island in 70 or 80 years." Four thousand years of civilization, no place can compare with Hong Kong, why is it still safe? " He wants to do some small-scale improvement work for his hometown, such as building bridges and paving the way, but it is very difficult.

Asking the county magistrate for help, the county magistrate expressed deep sympathy, but was soon replaced. The new county magistrate spent 50 thousand yuan to buy this position, which naturally made him unwilling.

Look at Guangdong Province again, the bureaucrats in the province are more corrupt than those in the county.

He thought many times that he would write a letter to the Prime Minister's yamen, the diplomatic institution of the Qing court, pointing out the gains and losses of the current situation.

During this period, he made friends with his classmates Chen Shaobai, Li Lie and Yang Heling.

All four young people adore Hong Xiuquan and talk about the revolution. They were nicknamed "Four Bandits".

1890 (16th year of Guangxu), studied the history of French Revolution and Darwin's primitive species with Chen Shaobai.

In the same year, he wrote a letter to Zheng Zaoru, the former envoy of the Qing court to the United States, Spain and Peru, who retired at home, and put forward three suggestions, such as encouraging farmers, discouraging opium and setting up schools, which showed the 24-year-old young man's talent of "looking at the past dynasties and Kyushu from afar".

1892 (18th year of Guangxu), Sun Yat-sen graduated with the first place and practiced medicine in Macau and Guangzhou successively.

He is famous for his superb medical skills, and his annual income is as high as 10 thousand yuan.

However, he always felt that medical skills can only save people, and the greatest power in the world is politics, which can be "great good" or "great evil". The sufferings of China people all stem from "bad politics".

Therefore, he was determined to give up medicine and go into politics, and change "saving lives by treating diseases" into "governing the country by treating diseases", "reforming China's bad politics" and "weeding out this evil".

1885 (11th year of Guangxu) After the defeat of the Sino-French War, Sun Yat-sen had the idea of "overthrowing the Qing court".

1893 In the early winter of Guangxu 19th year, he convened a meeting at the Anti-Wind Pavilion in the South Garden of Guangya Bookstore in southern Guangzhou to discuss the establishment of a group with the purpose of "expelling Tatars and restoring China". But few people attended, only Lu, Zheng Shiliang, Cheng Kuiguang, Cheng Biguang and others.

No name was determined at that time.

Later, some scholars thought that this should be regarded as the beginning of Hui nationality in Zhong Xing.
