YOU Have to go to the site to see the photos - but many of Ruby's family made the trip to China for this opportunity. Ruby, and I, almost went in 2006 but it was too much in November. This picture was taken in Shanghai in front of Sun Yat Sen's house in Shanghai - the resemblance was greater than the picture shows.

Some 120 people including relatives of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, representatives of overseas Chinese, and celebrities from Taiwan paid homage at Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum in Nanjing on Tuesday.

The granddaughter of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, Sun Huiying, who is in her early 80s, laid a wreath on the statue of Dr. Sun Yat-Sen.

Sun Huiying said it is her third time participating in this commemoration event, and she made a special trip from the United States to pay homage to her grandfather, who was the forefather of China's democratic revolution.

Taiwan's New Party Chairman, Yok Mu-ming, also took part in the activity, calling on people to follow Sun's endeavours and ideological contributions, and make greater efforts in the great course of national reunification.

Born in 1866 in what is now Zhongshan City in south China's Guangdong Province, Sun Yat-sen is known across the country as a "great revolutionary and statesman" who fought against feudalism and imperialist aggression and for the independence and freedom of the Chinese people.
