檀香山纪念孙中山,相关历史地标却不断消失
‘A Hawaiian son’: Honolulu honours Sun Yat-sen as his landmarks vanish
檀香山纪念孙中山,但他在当地留下的多处历史地标已消失或改作他用。孙中山曾居住的建筑、少年时做礼拜的教堂、追随者秘密集会的地下室、发表推翻清朝专制统治演说的剧院,以及中国第一个革命党成立之地,如今已拆除、改造为市场或停车场等。
Eddie Flores pressed the button at a pedestrian crossing on King Street, then pointed across the road.
In the spring of 1910, Chinese revolutionary Sun Yat-sen lodged over there, on the second floor of a shop owned by a friend and fellow party member.
“It’s no longer there,” said Flores, chairman of the restaurant chain L&L Hawaiian Barbecue. “But we can more or less point out where the building is.”
Much of Sun’s Honolulu has to be found this way. The church where he worshipped as a boy was pulled down in 1909. The basement where his followers met in secret was lost in a renovation. The theatre where he called for the overthrow of the Qing dynasty’s autocratic rule is now a market. And the place where China’s first revolutionary party was founded is a car park.
