Dr Sun Yat-sen and Hong Kong
4

• Between 1883 and 1892, Dr Sun studied at the
  Diocesan Home, the Central School (present-day
  Queens College) and the College of Medicine for
  Chinese (forerunner of the Medical School of The
  University of Hong Kong), where he completed his
  secondary and tertiary education.

5
While studying in Hong Kong, Dr Sun met Chen
Shaobai, Yang Heling and You Lie, who constantly
criticized the Qing Government and advocated
revolutionary ideas.
6
On 12 February 1895, Dr Sun set up the Hong Kong
headquarters of the Revive China Society at 13
Staunton Street, Central, aiming at driving out
the northern alien rulers, restoring the Chinese
nation and founding a republican government.
Several revolutionary attempts were staged in
Hong Kong.
7
On 20 February 1923, Dr Sun delivered a speech at
the University of Hong Kong, his alma mater,
claiming that his revolutionary ideas were
nurtured in the territory.

Reasons for site selection
18

• KTH is located in the Central and Western
  District where Dr Sun had studied and organized
  his revolutionary activities.
• KTH is situated adjacent to the Sun Yat-sen
  Historical Trail, with the various attractions of
  the Trail in its neighbourhood.
• Being a majestic and magnificent building, KTH is
  among the very few surviving structures of early
  20th century in Hong Kong. The excellent
  physical condition would minimise the major
  repairs or conservation works and the floor area
  of about 2 560 square metres provides adequate
  space for the Museum facilities.

19

• The linkage of the KTH with Central via the
  Mid-Levels Escalator and the accessibility of
  public transport to Caine Road and Robinson Road
  make the premises highly accessible.
