    Guangdong, late Qing Dynasty by Leung Lai Man, Jess
    Dr Sun Yat-sen was born in the Tongzhi period (1862-1874) of the Qing Dynasty, and until he was thirteen, lived in his hometown in Cuiheng Village in Xiangshan County, Guangdong Province. The region produced a local type of enamel ware called Guangcai, or 'Canton enamels', usually with landscapes, figures, flowers, birds and animals executed in rich, vibrant colours and a lively painting style. Such images and decorations constitute the theme of this panel.

    Hawaii, 19th century by Cheung Ting Ting (portion)
    Dr Sun Yat-sen went to Hawaii when he was thirteen to visit his elder brother, Sun Mei, who owned a plantation there. He later enrolled in missionary schools. Four years later he was sent back to China as his brother was opposed to his being baptised and becoming a Christian. Hawaii at that time was still under the rule of the local indigenous dynasty. The painting here features rich motifs of tropical forests.

    Hong Kong, Victorian era by Wong Wing Shan (Flyingpig)
    After his return to hometown, followed by a few detours, Dr Sun Yat-sen arrived in Hong Kong later. He entered the Diocesan Home and Orphanage, then the Central School and later, the newly-established College of Medicine for Chinese, Hong Kong. He spent a total of nine years studying in Hong Kong. As a British colony under Queen Victoria's rule, Hong Kong Island showed a lot of British influence at the time, whether in its period architecture or fashionable way of life. The Victorian wall-paper and the academic institutions where Dr Sun Yat-sen studied are symbolic of this period.
