a speech by Dr, Sun. it is a clip from the dvd "marching toward the republic". Dr. Sun commenting on the state/status of the republic from the first 6 years of republic (Ming Guo).

I watched it over and over, and never tired of it.

"the concept of a republic is consisted of equality, freedom, greater love."

" a republic is not a dictactorship but a rule of law."

--

"the clothes of the republic; (Zhong Shan Zhuang)

with 3 buttons on the right sleeve representing equality, freedom, greater love/compatriotism.

with 3 buttons on the left sleeve repersenting 3 principles of the people; --democracy: rule of the people; livilihood of the people;

with 5 pockets representing the constitution of 5 powers"

"administrative, legislative, judiciary, examination, and empeachment."

--

"I have only one hope in my life. that is

Let the Republic be not only a nominal term, an empty talk or just gesture/forms;

but let the concept of a republic become a way of life and an indestructilble belief in us all."

That's nice, but China is still a dictatorship.

I watched the whole DVD. sort of rewrite all the characters.

well it is only a TV show.

the speech clip was banned initially or not to air on China central TV or CCTV.

marxism, lennism and even Maoism are not talked about anymore.

the only thing left is the protrait of Mao on Tian An Men square. it was to be removed at one time. they decided to leave it there.

Dr. Sun ideas and stories are "allowed" to be talked about.

the climate of politics in China are totally different or a lot more liberal than before.

KMT stories and especially during WWII are allowed to be talked, too.

How nice, you are 'allowed' to talk about something. Progress will never cease.

[SPJ]

as the 392 steps of the stair upward.

implicating:

"the revolution is not yet successful;

compatriots still have to make efforts!"

Dr, Sun last few words.

"peace. struggle. save China."

He Ping Fen Duo Jiu Zhong Guo.

Dr. Sun final words.

His speech is always close to people using examples.

never before the voice of one person awakened so many.

He and many others ended the dynastic rule of China since the first emperor some 2200 years ago.

--

peace and struggle meaning all domestic political parties along with other foreign powers at China.
