However Sun Yet sun began to lose power and influence in his KMT party and new military men such as Chang Kai Sheck became more influential. When Sun Yet Sun finally died in 1925 Chang became the power in the KMT and started the mass persecutions and civil war between the communists and the KMT.

[michaelarnold13]

I appreciate the information

You seem very knowledgable in this area :)

[marxian00]

Sun Yet Sun was a Chinese political revolutionary that was opposed to the Qing Dynasty and the western colonial powers in China. He envisioned a China based on his three people's principles: Democracy, nationalism and social welfare.

When the Qing dynasty collapsed he became a leader of China and set about uniting the country by eliminating the regional power of warlords, He also wanted an alliace with the KMT nationalists and the communists.

I have a chinatown in nyc, don't go there that often though.

[michaelarnold13]

its nice to check out the differnt cultures in our own hometowns

[CareltonB]

Good question. I heard the Dr was a Chinese war hero that lived in Vancouver. I think Toronto & Montreal have monuments for him too? Thought by now someone would have answered that ... btw. Too bad the Doc wasn't around to watch the Hawks get shipped to the golf course. He could have built a diving board for Kane in his park. :)

@CareltonB

Sun yet sun was in exile in Canada and a number of other countries during the Qing period because of his revolutionary politics.

im just starting to find some of this out

thank you

[michaelarnold13]

i finally got some information

Chicago ? hhhahahah

[truesky00]

Thanks alot for uploading. I really enjoyed it. The park was really beautiful and was that a tram at 1:50? maybe new china town next?

[michaelarnold13]

thank you very much :)

Yes, lovely park in the middle of the city

I think it was a bus at 148

For certain Ill be heading to the new Chonatown in Richmond although Im pretty sure it will just look like an upscale Asian area similar to those in Asia themselves

thanks my friend

[YunKwae]

I been there 1year.

I never been this pretty park.

[michaelarnold13]

are you still here or did you stay one year ?

This park is a little hard to find but very pretty ;)

[missy192]

[michaelarnold13]

This is the main street of Chinatown but its veers on and off from differnt streets

Its really very big, just a bit smaller to the one in San Fransisco

[missy192]

@michaelarnold13 With the horrible weather we've been having mixed with school and work I've been unable to go into the city to make videos. Hopefully this summer will be warm enough, haha. Last summer it was really cold :(

[michaelarnold13]

[michaelarnold13]

[GreenEggsAndHamster]

Great tour! I bet it feels nice to get a little taste of Asia when you are back home. I look forward to more videos from Vancouver!

[michaelarnold13]

thanks GreenEggsAndHamster

the taste,the language and the smells really make me feel like im in China

15 minutes drive to feel half a world away

[heomak]

the steamed bun looks yummy! what's inside? some type of meat?

[michaelarnold13]

bbq chicken,beef,pork,vegtable,sau­sage,sweet lotus paste,black bean,custard and plain, ALL good :)

[GiacomoC]

Chinese dim sum...There was a time when my wife and I would buy a couple dozen of those pork buns and stuff ourselves. She still goes into San Francisco Chinatown every couple of months with a girlfriend. She comes home with bags of various dim sum treats. Now I'm sensitive to MSG so I don't eat much (if any) of it.

Good video, Michael.

[michaelarnold13]

I drove to San Fransisco when I was a teenager, loved the China town there

I always saw similarities between Seattle,Vancouver and San Fransisco
