Film screening: Bodyguards and Assassins
26 June 2026 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm
China Cultural Centre in Sydney, 1/151 Castlereagh St, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia
It happened in 1906 when the Qing Dynasty was declining in China. In order to repress the democratic revolution, the Qing court launched assassinations to maintain its rule. The great revolutionary leader, Dr. Sun Yat-sen, decided to meet the delegates from thirteen provinces in Hong Kong on 15 October with the superficial purpose of visiting his mother. General Yan Xiaoguo received the imperial decree and spread a dragnet to assassinate Sun. Facing the historical turning point, people from various circles stood up to the imperial assassins time and again. Dr. Sun left Hong Kong safely at last. There were uprisings throughout the whole country in the following year. The Revolution of 1911 broke out, which finally overthrew the autocratic monarchy in China and inaugurated a new era of democracy and republic.
