摘要(外文): | After the outbreak of the Wu-chang Uprising on October 10, 1911, revolutionary leader Sun Yat-sen returned to China from overseas. On December 15, 2011, he made a one-day stopover in Singapore. Sun stayed overnight at the Golden Bell Mansion. Questions are: why did Sun Yat-sen stay overnight at the Gold Bell Mansion and not his customary place to stay in Singapore--Wan Ching Yuan or the headquarters of the Revolutionary Alliance in Singapore? Who is Tan Boo Liat (Chen Wu-lie, 1874-1934), the owner of the Gold Bell Mansion? And what is the relationship between Sun Yat-sen and Tan Boo Liat? This paper will examine the neglected revolutionary Tan Boo Liat, focusing on the role he played during the 1911 Revolution and his cross-boundary activities in Siam (Thailand), Singapore and China during the post-1911 Revolution period. |
