In his early years, Sun Yat-sen studied medicine in Hong Kong, but after witnessing the tragic scene of the Chinese nation gradually being carved up by Western powers, he resolutely gave up medicine and devoted himself to the "cause of medical country".

So, what happened to his children after he was alive?

Among Mr. Sun Yat-sen's three wives, the first wife, Lo Muzhen, was born in a scholarly family and was admired for her diligence and filial piety to her parents. Although it was a marriage ordered by her parents, she gave birth to three children for Sun Yat-sen, namely the eldest Sun Ke, the eldest daughter Sun Yan, and the second daughter Sun Wan.

At the age of 16, Sun Ke joined the League, later became secretary of the Generalissimo's Office, and in 1918 was appointed secretary of the Senate of the Extraordinary Congress and editor of the Canton Times.

However, the following year she became seriously ill and had to return to China to receive **. After Sun Yat-sen separated from his mother, Lo Mo Ching, he came to live in Macau, often visiting Sun Wan, who was seriously ill.

Soon after, she died at the age of 19. And Sun Yat-sen's eldest daughter, Sun Yan, also experienced many twists and turns in her early years. When she was born in 1894, the Cantonese Uprising failed, and her mother had to take her to Honolulu for refuge.

In 1907, she moved to Kowloon, Hong Kong with her mother, Lo Mo-ching, and in 1910, she was finally reunited with her father in Penang. After the victory of the Xinhai Revolution, she returned to Nanjing and accompanied her father Sun Yat-sen on various tours.
