Douglas Chong is a Chinese cultural historian, consultant and director of the Hawaii Chinese History Center in the heart of Honolulu’s Chinatown where I caught up with him recently.
As the world pauses in 2016 to observe the 150th anniversary of Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s birth we wanted to hear from someone who could illuminate us about Sun’s formative years in Hawaii.
As the leader of China's 1911 revolution, Sun Yat-sen inspired and organized a movement that overthrew the Qing Dynasty that reigned over China for nearly three hundred years.
Born near Macau on November 12, 1866, Sun moved to Honolulu, Hawaii after completing his primary school education to live with his elder brother Sun Mei.
Sun Yat-sen studied English, mathematics and science at Iolani School in 1882 and received a prize for his outstanding performance in English from King David Kalakaua. Sun later enrolled at Oahu College, now Punahou School, before returning to China.
Douglas Chong is a renowned authority on Dr. Sun Yat-sen -especially Sun's formative years in Hawaii. This is a broadcast you won't want to miss!
