LIMA, Nov. 6 (Xinhua) -- Peru's Chinese community marked over the weekend the 150th anniversary of the birth of the forerunner of China's democratic revolution, Sun Yat-sen.
The exhibition, titled "Sun Yat-sen and the Overseas Chinese Communities," opened Saturday at the headquarters of the Chinese community's leading charity organization (Sociedad Central de Beneficencia China) near the historic downtown district.
Chinese Ambassador to Peru, Jia Guide, and the charity's president, Alfonso Lian, launched the show to commemorate Sun, China's great national hero and patriot.
The exhibition, with pictures and bilingual texts, presents Sun's lifetime experiences and his contribution to China's democratic revolution, including leading the 1911 revolution that ended the imperial rule in China.
The show will last through November.
