The London Tragedy

About This Novel

In the autumn of 1896, when Sun Yat-sen was in exile in the UK, he was unfortunately kidnapped by the Qing government's embassy in the UK and was nearly killed. Later, he was rescued by Mr. Cantley, a British teacher when Sun Yat-sen was studying at the Hong Kong College of Western Medicine, and finally escaped from danger. After Sun Yat-sen was rescued, he wrote the book "London Tragedy" about his ordeal. This is Sun Yat-sen's earliest English book and the only documentary prose work in his life. As soon as this book was published, it caused a sensation in European and American political circles, intimidated the Qing court, and sowed the first fire for the Revolution of 1911. This book is the first complete modern Chinese translation in 114 years. The classical Chinese translations that have been popular for more than a hundred years are not only outdated in language, but also often abridged; this book is completely translated into modern Chinese according to the original English work, and comprehensively and truly restores the history of Sun Yat-sen's London disaster.
