Description
Byline: Shaukat Qadir - Email: shaukatq@gmail.com My last article was about China having reached its nadir; a period when Chinese were referred to as, 'Opium Eaters'! But great nations have great resilience and the ability to rise again. For this to happen, nations need visionaries. One such visionary was born in China in 1866, just as it hit its lowest ebb; Sun Yat-sen. Sun was a doctor by profession, but a modern reformist and activist by choice. In his youth Sun witnessed the increase in opium consumption and how it affected addicts. He also realized that China's diminished international status was due to the inept and corrupt Qing Dynasty.
