On November 12, 2025, China commemorated the 159th birth anniversary of Sun Yat-sen, a revered national hero, patriot, and pioneer of China’s democratic revolution. The ceremony, held at Zhongshan Park in central Beijing—a location named in his honor—was organized by the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC). Attendees, including senior officials from the CPPCC National Committee, the Central Committee of the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang, the United Front Work Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, and the Beijing municipal government, paid their respects with floral tributes and bows before Sun’s statue. The event also saw participation from representatives of non-Communist parties, prominent non-affiliated figures, Sun’s descendants, and other organizations. Born in 1866 in Guangdong province, Sun Yat-sen was instrumental in the 1911 Revolution, which ended the Qing Dynasty and over two millennia of feudal rule in China, marking a pivotal moment in the nation’s history.
