Picture album of Sun Yat-sen published to mark 140th birth anniversary

A comprehensive historical picture album of Sun Yat-sen was officially published here on Saturday to mark the 140th anniversary of one of the forefathers of modern China.

The picture album, co-authored by the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference's Committee of Cultural and Historical Data and the National Museum of China, depicts Sun's great life and includes experts' latest research on Sun.

Sun, who was born on Nov. 12, 1866, is regarded as a great man for his leadership over the 1911 revolution to overthrow China's last feudalistic dynasty of Qing (1644-1911), his advocacy of cooperation between the Chinese Kuomintang (KMT) and the Communist Party of China (CPC), his first call for "Rejuvenating China", and his strong personality, lofty spirit and style.
