Hong Kong, Victorian era by Wong Wing Shan (Flyingpig) (portion)
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.
