The house that changed a nation
Sun Yat Sen’s Penang base at 120 Armenian Street:
It was here that the epoch-making “Canton Uprising” of the 1911 Chinese Revolution was strategised. Their struggle sowed the seed of discord which signaled the end of the imperial rule in China and gave birth to the republic of China, with Dr. Sun Yat Sen (1866-1925) as the President.
One year before the China Republican Revolution of 1911, Dr Sun Yat Sen moved his headquarters to Penang.Here at 120 Armenian Street was where he organized the Penang Conference and planned the Second Guangzhou Uprising.He lived in Penang for a brief period in 1910.This house was not his residence but his headquarters for his political party. His old house in Dato Keramat Rd was demolished, as it was thought to be haunted.
