BEIJING, April 11 — Cheng Li-wun, chairwoman of the Chinese Kuomintang (KMT) party, led a KMT delegation on Saturday to pay tribute to Sun Yat-sen, a great forerunner of China’s democratic revolution, at the cenotaph in Beijing.
The cenotaph is located in Biyun Temple at Fragrant Hills in the western suburbs of Beijing.
Sun Yat-sen, a founding figure of the KMT and a revered revolutionary leader who played a pivotal role in overthrowing imperial rule in China, died in 1925 in Beijing.
His remains were kept here before being transferred to the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Nanjing in 1929. Cheng is the first KMT chairperson to have led a delegation to the Chinese mainland in the past decade.
The visit runs from Tuesday to Sunday.
