October 10, 1911: Dr. Sun Yat-sen dethrones the Manchu Dynasty and founds the Chinese Republic of China.
During six visits to Maui, Dr. Sun lived here more than seven and a half years, his last visit being May, 1910, just months before he takes over the government in his native homeland.
His Maui visits helped to form his revolutionary ideals. At first, he lived with his older brother, who was a successful rancher on Maui. It was here that he established the Hsing Chung Hui (Revive China Society), a revolutionary society whose aim was the overthrownof the Chinese government. With the help and financial backing of many in Hawaii, Dr. Sun was able to afford repeated trips to China, and help begin the revolution.

Dr. Sun ruled China for 15 years, until his death in 1925 from liver cancer. Sun Yet Sen County Park overlooks the island of Maui from from Keokea at an elevation of 3,000 feet.
