He led the [[Guomindang]] (Kuomintang or Nationalist Party) to victory and became the first leader of the new [[Republic]] of [[China]].  Sun was born near [[Guangzhou]] into a farmland owning family.  He attended an [[Anglican]] boys school in [[Honolulu]].  There he came under [[Western]] influence and particularly that of [[Christianity]].  He later received a diploma from a [[Hong Kong]] [[medecine|medical]] school and began to practice medicine in Hong Kong. After this all his activities were focused on overthrowing the [[Qing]] dynasty and establishing a Chinese republic.  Sun fled China in 1895 after an abortive revolt.  He toured the world a few times to enlist aid from overseas to finance his activities. In 1905 Sun organized a revolutionary league.  His political conceptions were based on the three people’s principles: [[nationalism]], [[democracy]], and the people’s livelihood.  A revolution erupted in China and Sun was elected [[president]] of the new Chinese republic but two months later he resigned, leaving power to [[Yuan Shikai]].  After Sun died, [[Jiang Jieshi]] emerged as leader of the of the [[Guomindang]].
