The great patriot and revolutionary Sun Yat-sen passed away exactly a century ago. The great leader of the democratic revolution was the propagator of republican ideals and a key driver of China's transformation from self-imposed limits to a country with a global vision. His political thought, revolutionary practices, institutional innovations and morally upright character have left an indelible mark on China's modern political and intellectual history.

The fourth paragraph of the preamble to the 1982 Constitution objectively evaluates Sun Yat-sen's contribution to the republican revolution. It praises the historic significance of the 1911 Revolution, which abolished the imperial system. It marked a monumental shift from monarchy to a republic, bridging China's ancient and modern political systems.

The preamble also acknowledges that the historical mission of the Chinese people to fight imperialism and feudalism is far from complete, and the Constitution is a reflection of national history, spirit, and revolutionary achievements.
