This is the Sun Yat-Sin Mausoleum at Nanjing during the May 1 (Labor Day) weekend in 2006, when I was there for a conference. Thousands and thousands of people visited the mausoleum. Yet it had a hushed calmness around it. People were respectful, speaking in low voices. Dr. Sun is truly someone deserving our utmost respect. He devoted his life to the singular vision of waking up and saving the sleeping China with revolutions. Now the leaders in Taiwan are rewriting history textbooks - belittling the significance of Dr. Sun, among other changes – in pursuit of their own agenda. That is a deplorable act.
