About this audio guide
This guide to the Dr Sun Yat-sen Museum in Hong Kong starts with a claim the revolutionary himself made in nineteen twenty-three: that this British colonial city, not China, made him into who he became. You'll hear about Kom Tong Hall, the Edwardian mansion built by his old classmate Ho Kom-tong, and follow Sun's years as a student at the Government Central School, his growing frustration with the crumbling Qing dynasty, and the armed uprising he helped coordinate from Hong Kong in eighteen ninety-five. Look around the mansion's red brick and carved stone as you listen, a building Sun himself never entered.
