BEIJING, March 12 (Xinhua) — A brief and solemn ceremony was held in Beijing on Thursday to mark the 101st anniversary of the death of Sun Yat-sen, the great forerunner of China's democratic revolution.
Representatives from various walks of life in the Chinese capital attended the ceremony in Zhongshan Park in central Beijing, which was named after Sun Yat-sen.
At 9:30 a.m., participants stood in front of the statue of Sun Yat-sen, honored his memory with silence and bowed three times.
Representatives of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), the Central Committee of the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang (RKCC), the United Front Department of the CPC Central Committee, the Beijing city government and the Beijing Committee of the RKCC laid baskets of flowers at the monument.
As a reminder, Sun Yat-sen was born in 1866 and died in 1925. He is known in China for his leading role in the 1911 Revolution, which ended more than 2,000 years of feudal rule in China. -0-
