MSAR Government to host photo exhibition commemorating 160th anniversary Dr Sun Yat-sen’s birth

MACAU, November 11 - A photo exhibition commemorating Dr Sun Yat-sen’s timeless contributions to national independence and social progress and his ideals of “everything for the common good” and “rejuvenation of the Chinese nation” will open tomorrow (12 November), which will mark the 160th anniversary of the birth of the great forerunner in China's democratic revolution. The exhibition, hosted by the Macao Special Administrative Region (MSAR) Government as part of a series of activities commemorating the birth of Dr Sun Yat-sen, will be held at the Macao Cultural Centre.

The exhibition, entitled “From Macao to the World – In Commemoration of the 160th Anniversary of the Birth of Dr Sun Yat-sen”, will run from 12 November to 27 November. It will showcase Dr Sun Yat-sen’s life story and revolutionary ideals, as well as the deep historical ties between Macao and Dr Sun Yat-sen and his family.

The photo exhibition, which will open to the public from 3pm tomorrow, brings together over a hundred precious historical artefacts and photographs, complemented by written materials, videos, audio recordings and interactive installations. It aims to provide a systematic account of Dr Sun Yat-sen’s eventful life, enabling visitors to understand how Macao became the place where the vision and aspirations of this great man were first nurtured.

The exhibition is divided into five main sections: “Setting Sail: A Gateway to the World”, “Practising Medicine: Original Aspiration to Heal People at Kiang Wu Hospital”, “Rising to the Challenge: A Call to Rejuvenate China”, “Long Quest: The Pursuit of the Common Good”, and “Echoes: The Shared Hope of the Chinese People”.

The exhibition also features a special section entitled “The Ties Between Macao’s Kiang Wu Hospital and the Family of Dr Sun Yat-sen”, which illustrates the deep, cross-century bond between Dr Sun Yat-sen, his family and Kiang Wu Hospital — spanning the decades from his time practising medicine in Macao to the establishment of the People’s Republic of China.

In addition, the “Long Quest: The Pursuit of the Common Good” section features interactive audio booths where visitors can hear rare recordings of Dr Sun Yat-sen delivering speeches in Cantonese.

The exhibition will be held at the Dot Art Space in the Macao Cultural Centre. Opening hours are from 3pm to 7pm on 12 November, and from 10am to 7pm from 13 to 27 November. Members of the public are cordially invited to visit.

Since November, various departments of the MSAR Government, in collaboration with various local organisations, have been jointly organising a series of commemorative events to mark the anniversary, including thematic seminars, the issue of commemorative stamps, cultural guided tours, thematic exhibitions and related events, a series of themed commemorative activities at public libraries, a series of thematic activities for young people, as well as school-based promotional and commemorative activities. These initiatives aim to enable all sectors of Macao society to gain a multifaceted understanding of Dr Sun Yat-sen’s life and achievements, and to promote the integration of his revolutionary spirit with Macao’s spirit of patriotism.
