I just learned from Wikipedia that there are over 40 Zhongshan Gong Yuan in China! Our knowledge just expanded many fold! :D Zhongshan is also the "county" in southern Guangdong Province where Sun Yet-sen called home, and where many people from Hong Kong can trace their ancestral root. It's nice and warm there. Now I'm praying that spring will spring soon where you are!Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05941070464699843975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285145779903542153.post-47884206442795190782010-03-16T17:37:36.988+08:002010-03-16T17:37:36.988+08:00I am totally embarrassed that I didn't know th...I am totally embarrassed that I didn't know that!

That is a statue of Sun Yet-sen, the "Father of China" instrumental in toppling the Qing Dynasty, ending centuries of imperialism. He was a Christian and an important political leader worth knowing.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05941070464699843975noreply@blogger.com
