OP Hero Journey: Sun Yat-sen
Sun Yat-sen Learned the Revolution Had Begun Here
yudashkai
10/12/1911
Listen
In October 1911 Sun Yat-sen checked into the Brown Palace Hotel in Denver, midway through another fundraising tour of overseas Chinese communities.
He had spent 16 years in exile organizing and bankrolling uprisings against the Qing dynasty. Ten had failed.
On the morning of October 12, over breakfast at the hotel, he read the headline in a local paper: revolutionaries had taken Wuchang. The eleventh attempt had succeeded without him, an ocean away, touched off by an accidental bomb explosion and carried by soldiers he had never met.
His next move is the instructive part. Instead of racing for the nearest ship, he went east through Washington, London, and Paris, pressing governments and banks to stay neutral and to cut the dynasty off from foreign loans.
He reached Shanghai on December 25, and four days later revolutionary delegates elected him provisional president of the new republic.
Read through 10,000 Hours of Play, this is what accumulated hours buy: by 1911 Sun's leverage no longer came from being at the barricade, but from a network and reputation that only he could deploy.
