* And while you are about it said Dr. Cantlie "do not forget the Portuguese. Many of these men have been employed by European firms for ten, twenty and even twenty-five years, and have never been absent from the office unless with a medical certificate. Gentlemen, remember of what blood you are the sons of men who abolished slavery. Do not allow this form of modern slavery to creep into the customs of our daily life unchallenged."

Much that Americans would term "bunk" has been written concerning the peregrinations and adventures of the great Dr. Sun Yat-sen before he brought about the downfall of the Manchu Dynasty. The story of his banishment from Hongkong, his capture and release in London, his residence in Japan and his victories in China has been told by dozens of different writers many of whom were willing to sacrifice accuracy for colour.
Details given below are culled from the most authoritative sources and are supported by documentary evidence. This article, which deals in part with Dr. Sun's connection with Hongkong, "debunks" much of what has previously been written about the great Chinese leader.
Dr. Sun Yat-sen was a native of the Heungshan district in the province of Kwangtung and after being educated in Hongkong and Honolulu adopted medicine as a career. For some time he was attached to the Alice Memorial Hospital in Hongkong.
In 1896, while Dr. Sun was absent from the Colony, information was reached to the local Government that he was at the head of a conspiracy against the Chinese Government and an order of banishment was accordingly issued against him, prohibiting his return to the Colony for a period of five years, from March 4, 1896.
Before the issue of the banishment order, Dr. Sun had left the Colony and proceeded to England. There, at the instigation of the Chinese authorities, he was kidnapped and unlawfully detained at the Chinese Embassy. It was intended that he should be shipped back to China where a long rope or a sharp sword was to be his fate.
