he was elected, tho
SYS is worthy of being venerated though, the Xinhai revolution gets kinda dwarfed by the tumultuous events of the latter half the 20th century but all republican revolutions are really fucking cool and worthy of study.
Chen Weihua might have something constructive to say here.

"Taiwan has totally disavowed the White Terror, tho"
