Sun Yat-sen - A Killing in Hong Kong - Part 1 - Extra History

📜 Sun Yat-sen: A Killing in Hong Kong - Growing up in Honolulu, Sun Yat-sen had an expansive, exciting education, which would inspire him when he moved to Hong Kong as a young adult ready to change the world as a doctor--and as the leader of the "Revive China Society" interested in overthrowing the Qing government.

Thank you for doing a series on this. Most people I know, including me, don't know nearly enough about China, a country which influences us so much today. Glad Chinese history is getting more attention!

[Trolligarch]

I've never been so excited for a Youtube series ngl.

Sun Yat-sen was such a legendary figure that both the Communists (in China) and the Nationalists (in Taiwan) revel him as a hero of China.

Not many figures can be so acclaimed.

"flooding the market with cheap, mass produced goods"
ironic

Seeing the flag they used made me go,
"Isn't that the thing in the top left-hand corner of Taiwan's fla-
Oh."
_"Oh"_

As a Chinese, I am so grateful for this excellent episode for Chinese history. Thank you for your video. As a fellow Cantonese, I am so proud of my countryman receiving tremendous respects from all of Chinese people, domestic and abroad.

“Coming up: A Kidnapping in London”.

Totally a noir movie title.

Good grief, EH! That cliff-hanger! Looking forward to more!

[grnmantis]

My great grandpa knew him when he immigrated to HK

[HyperventilatingHylian]

I never knew Chinese history could be so fascinating. You guys have a special way of fixing my attention on topics I normally wouldn’t be interested in.

[RealHipHoManiac]

A lot of people in the West do not know of this legendary man, good on Extra Credits for covering him!

2:24 That is not a proper map. In 1879, Qing dynasty Still ruled over Taiwan Island, Hainan Island, and whole Mongolia. Before that, in 1842, when Britain got Hong Kong, Qing dynasty still ruled over Amur River region, Sakhalin island, Almaty region and eastern part of Kyrgyzstan.

Thank you so much! I've been waiting until you guys did a series on him! You guys are amazing!

[Kabutoes]

Thank you for doing this, Sun Yat Sun was an underrated figure in human history

[cheezemonkeyeater]

You know, it's funny, I've known this guy's name fo years and years, but never had any idea who he was.

"flooding China with cheap manufactured goods"
how ironic...

[WildBillCox]

I've read Sun Yat Sen's "Kidnapped in London". It's well written, easy to read, and a rollicking good adventure. Far better than Doyle's or Rohmer's best.

[njord]

The Sun has finally set on the Chinese empire.

[mlovecraftr]

Thank you for making this but please revise your maps!

[Achillez]

FINALLY!!!
A series about my idol Dr. Sun Yat Sen
I am eternally grateful :D

[condor]

I love this channel, purely because of the amount work that goes into these videos and the amount of different and some would say obscure topics covered in each of the extra history videos ❤️ keep up the good work
