Today we relive the magnificent historical turning point of the day through historical research and cultural relic preservation.
We ask generation after generation of Hong Kong people to continue to pass on the spirit of the Revolution of 1911 and carry it forward.
To understand Hong Kong today and China today, and to understand the great ideals and struggles of the Chinese people for national rejuvenation, we must first understand the history of modern Chinese national peril and salvation.
The reason why the Revolution of 1911 is great is that the historical process promoted by the Revolution of 1911 was leapfrog, and the national awakening it brought was even more earth-shaking.
After the Revolution of 1911, China no longer had the soil to accept feudal rule and imperial aggression.
The reason why the Revolution of 1911 was great was that it brought together patriots of different national ideals and strata, and formed the common consciousness of the Chinese nation.
