孙中山谈中西文化

今年是孙中山先生诞辰150周年。中山先生是近代中国伟大的民主革命家,他一生坚持民主进步的立场,推翻帝制,缔造共和,反对内战,维护法律,为国家的独立、自由、民主、富强奋斗不息。中山先生由民族解放、民主宪政、民生改良思想丰富凝练而成之三民主义,仍然是当前海峡两岸乃至全球华人的共同精神财富。为纪念中山先生,本刊特约请三位专家谈了他们的看法。中山先生不恋权位、不谋私利、宽以待人的高风亮节、不折不挠的革命精神和对中西文化的清醒认识,将永远激励中国人民在民族复兴的道路上不断前进。

This year marked the 150 th anniversary of Sun Yat-sen's birthday. Sun was a great democratic revolutionary in modern China. He devoted his life to democracy and progress,overthrowing the imperialism,creating a republic,preventing civil war,and upholding law—in short,he fought for the independence,freedom,democracy and prosperity of his homeland all his life. His Three Principles of the People,derived from his ideas of national libration,democratic constitutiona-lism,and improving livelihood,are still the common spiritual property shared by all Chinese. To commemorate his birthday,we invited three scholars to voice their views of Sun Yat-sen. Sun's carelessness of position,nonchalance of private interest,and tolerance of others,his indomitable spirit and his awareness of Sino-Western Cultures will forever spur the Chinese people to embark on the road of national renaissance.
