Work

Dr. Sun Yat-sen

A commissioned work in 2011, Dr. Sun Yat-sen tells the story of the founding father of the Republic of China, Dr. Sun, who met Charlie Soong in Shanghai. Sharing the same patriotic beliefs, the two became firm friends. Yet, the friendship faltered when Sun fell in love with Soong’s second daughter, Chingling. Sun lost an important supporter of his revolutionary activities and a good friend. Sun and Chingling’s subsequent efforts to overthrow the government had not been met with success, but their vision never wavers. Just as they were deep in insurgent activities, Soong was very ill and dying. Although Sun did not make it in time to seek final reconciliation, a gift from Charlie, though belated in coming, showed that he did not take the grudge to his grave. Once again, their destinies were brought together as one.
