Sun Yat-sen: An American Legacy

To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the modern republic of China, CHSA presents the exhibition Sun Yat-sen: An American Legacy. The exhibition tells the story of the “father of modern China” Dr. Sun Yat-sen and his travels in America as he rallied support to the cause of a free and modern China. The exhibit was organized by Connie Young Yu from her family’s collection of Sun Yat-sen memorabilia. Special programs include History Alive! Performances “Sun Yat-sen & The Three People’s Principles” by Artist-in-Residence Charlie Chin, and a brand-new documentary Dr. Sun at Liberty’s Door by Connie Young-Yu. On display now in the Phillip Choy Gallery.
