Extended information:
Sun Yat-sen was born in Guangdong on November 12, 1866 (the sixth day of October in the fifth year of Tongzhi). He grew up in an ordinary family. After his brother Sun Mei went to Maui to reclaim wasteland and run a ranch and store, his family's situation improved.
In 1875 (the first year of Guangxu), Sun Yat-sen entered the village school and received traditional education. Sun Yat-sen's father worked as a shoemaker in Ban Zhang Tang Street in Macau when he was young. Sun Yat-sen often traveled between Macao and his hometown with his parents since he was a child. Macao's blend of Chinese and Western cultures prospered and developed, and Sun Yat-sen was deeply influenced by it.
In 1878, 12-year-old Sun Yat-sen went to Honolulu with his mother. His eldest brother Sun Mei sponsored Sun Yat-sen to receive modern Western education in a relatively systematic manner in Honolulu, Guangzhou, Hong Kong and other places.
In 1883, 17-year-old Sun Yat-sen returned from Honolulu and went to Hong Kong to study in the same year. During the five years when Sun Yat-sen was studying medicine in Hong Kong, he formed a small group with Yang Heling, Chen Shaobai, and You Lie known as the "Four Bandits". At that time, Yang Heling's "Yang Si Kou Hall" in Macau also became one of Sun Yat-sen's important activities in Macau. At that time, Sun Yat-sen believed that Li Hongzhang was different from ordinary bureaucrats, but a figure with innovative ideas.
