Dr.
Sun
Yat
Sen
was
a
revolutionary
ahead
of
his
time:
democracy
activist,
world
traveler,
and
educated
man.
He
is
still
well-known
among
Chinese
the
world
over.
His
activities
and
life
took
him
from
China,
to
Honolulu
for
education,
to
the
United
States
for
a
speaking
tour,
and
also
to
Hong
Kong
and
Macau.
This
museum
is
made
of
two
parts:
old
folk
structures
from
his
youth
and
a
modern
building
showing
his
community
organizing
during
adulthood.
Inside
the
folk
houses:
I
learned
that
beds
during
his
time
didn't
have
mattresses
or
pillows--
one
slept
on
a
hard
wooden
bed
with
the
head
supported
by
a
wooden
or
jade
frame
not
much
bigger
than
a
chopstick
holder.
One
of
my
favorite
exhibits
though
was
the
bridal
suite:
two
mannequins
representing
a
newlywed
husband
and
wife
in
red,
and
a
sedan
chair.
There
are
also
several
display
cases
with
models
of
what
traditional
Chinese
feasts
looked
like,
including
winter
festival,
Ching
Ming,
wedding
party,
and
Chinese
New
Year.
Inside
the
exhibition
building:
photographs,
newspapers,
statues,
and
literature
from
Dr.
Sun's
activist
years.
A
museum
shop
sold
trinkets
like
pens
andbkeychains;
I
bought
a
little
flashlight
using
button
batteries.
I
was
disappointed
to
see
the
books
were
only
in
Chinese
as
I
wanted
to
buy
an
English
biography
or
memoir
of
his
life.
