Dr. Sun Yat-sen statue, Riverdale Park East #toronto #sunyatsen #statues #riverdaleparkeast #riverdalepark  #autumn #latergram


The statue of Dr. Sun Yat-sen that stands in Toronto's Riverdale Park East, overlooking the Don Valley, was framed beautifully by autumn. As noted by the Toronto Public Library blog in 2010, this statue was completed by local sculptor Joe Rosenthal in 1985, two years after winning a competition to erect a statue of the founder of the Republic of China. "This monument shows Dr. Sun Yat-sen holding a book. The book is his famous ideology "The Three Principles of the People". It talks about nationalism, democracy and socialism."
