Description

Keokea Maui Hawaii
This stone lion monument was erected to honour the heroism and hard work of thousands of Chinese who have played a major role in the history of the Hawaiian Islands.

Sun Yat-sen became a modernizer and rebel in China and in exile. Part of his exile was spent on Maui, where he helped organize the Chinese revolution that ended China's last dynasty and established the Republic of China in 1912.
He is referred to as the "father of modern China."

You gave this wonderfully executed and detailed monument to Sun Yat-sen the perfect dramatic backdrop - that blue sky with the clouds streaking from the monument is a testimony to your perfect pov, Heather...Hard to capture a monument and give it "punch" - you sure did with this one! Kudos! #10016012
