Sun Yat-Sen, father of Chinese Revolution - I - News Today
In 1883, Sun Yat-sen was sent back to China to assume his place in the community. The young Sun Yat-sen brought trouble as well as learning home with him. He soon manifested his firm refusal to accept 'customs'. He rebelled against idolatry, ancestor worship and family fetishism. He stormed at the village superstitions, mocked the painted shrines and even tore off the finger of one of the wooden Gods. The village was horrified and as a result of his 'sacrilege', he was banished and sent to Hong Kong. A few months later he entered Queens College in Hong Kong, and applied himself to the Bible, and spoke so ardently about Christianity that he converted two younger students. At eighteen he was married and went back to Hong Kong with his young bride. First he wanted to become a missionary. But he gave up this quest in favour of his revolutionary fervour for national and social emancipation. He studied medicine and became an assistant at the Pok Tsai Hospital in Canton in 1886. In 1887 when Doctor James Cantlie opened a new hospital in Hong Kong, Sun Yat-sen was the first pupil to enroll. Five years later he graduated in medicine. - more available
