Sun Yat - sen (1866 - 1925) was a great Chinese leader. He is called the “Father of Modern China”. Sun helped end China's last dynasty (the Qing Dynasty) and over 2,000 years of imperial rule. This big change was called the Xinhai Revolution (1911).
In 1912, he became the first president of the new Republic of China. He also started the Kuomintang (KMT) party and led it. Because of his revolutionary work, Sun had to leave China many times and lived in countries like Japan and the USA. But he never stopped supporting China's progress.
