114 years ago today, on May 5, 1911 (April 7, 1911 in the lunar calendar), Sun Yat-sen established the "Revolutionary Company". Sun Yat-sen took a group photo with the attending comrades. On May 5, 1911, when Sun Yat-sen attended the rally of the Chicago Branch of the League in Chicago, USA, he announced the establishment of a "revolutionary company" and mobilized local overseas Chinese to buy shares of the "company" to raise funds to support domestic revolutionary activities. Sun Yat-sen promised that the principal and interest of the shares would be repaid doubly after the success of the revolution. In December, 1910, Sun Yat-sen left Penang. Since then, he has traveled to Paris, new york, San Francisco, Vancouver and various ports along the Canadian Pacific Railway. He arrived in Chicago on April 28. He tried his best to raise money for revolutionary activities. In Vancouver, Sun Yat-sen persuaded the local Hongmen Society to organize a pay-raising bureau and issue gold coin bonds in three denominations of 10 yuan, 100 yuan and 1000 yuan in the name of the revolutionary military government. By publicizing revolutionary principles, he moved overseas Chinese from all over the world who sympathized with the revolution. Overseas Chinese leaders donated generously, and many Chinese workers donated their whole month's salary. Some of the more radical backbones even tend to sponsor the revolution.
