Wien. Gunter Olzog Verlag Munchen. 1982. Stock ID #167460 "The many-sided processes of revolutionary reconstruction and modernization in 20th century China originated to a large degree with the leadership, the development programs and the political thought of one charismatic leader - Sun Yat-sen (1866-1925). Symbolizing in his dramatic lifestyle and experience many of China's turbulent transformation processes, he functioned as the leader, teacher and superior of an entire generation of Chinese and East Asian revolutionaries including personalities of most divergent orientations such as Chiang Kai-shek, Mao Tse-tung, Wang Ching-wei, Chou En-lai, Tai Chi-t'ao, Ho Chi Minh and many others. Sun Yat-sen was the Founding Father and first President of Republican China, the co-founder of the First Sino-Soviet Entente 1924-1927 and, apart from Mao Tse-tung, the most influential Chinese originator of a systematic ideology for nation-building in a third-world country.
