Abstract

Madame Sun Yat-sen Keeps Faith
Gould, Randall | January 22, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

After only four brief years the Chinese political leader Sun Yat-Sen has been elevated to the status of a Chinese saint whose doctrines, like those of Christ, are excellent to use as wall mottos but "too impractical" for serious guidance in the workaday world. Madame Sun's intransigence lies in her refusal to believe that Sun's ideas will not work. The peculiar obnoxiousness of this attitude lies in the fact that she is not merely a sorrowing widow, but in her own right a staunch individual who is keeping words of the great leader alive.
