110 years ago, New Year's Day was a day worth remembering.

110 years ago, New Year's Day was an epoch-making day in China's modern history.

On this day, at about 10 a.m. on January 1, 1912, Sun Yat-sen took a special train from Shanghai to Nanjing and took office as the first interim president of the Republic of China.

In the afternoon of that day, Sun Yat-sen's special train entered Nanjing from Xiaguan. Sun Yat-sen's arrival was warmly welcomed by the people. At that time, the streets of Nanjing were empty and there were thunderous cheers. After arriving in Nanjing, Huang Xing, Chen Qimei and others escorted Sun Yat-sen from the station into the Presidential Palace. The Presidential Palace was located in the former Liangjiang Governor's Office (now No. 292 Changjiang Road, Xuanwu District, Nanjing). Sun Yat-sen was about 10 o'clock that night. At about 11 o'clock (some say it was 11 o'clock), the inauguration ceremony of the interim president was held at the Presidential Palace. The ceremony was presided over by Shanxi representative Jing Yaoyue . During the ceremony, Sun Yat-sen read out the oath of the interim president and activated the seal of the "Seal of the Provisional President of the Republic of China". On this day, Sun Yat-sen also issued important documents such as the "Declaration of the Provisional President", "Message to the Compatriots in the Nation", and "Message to the Navy and Army Soldiers", officially proclaiming the founding of the Republic of China. And issued a telegram, stipulating that "the Republic of China will switch to the Gregorian calendar, and the 4699th year of the Yellow Emperor, which is November 13th of 1911, will be the New Year's Day of the first year of the Republic of China."

Although affected by the environment at that time and the revolutionaries' inability to revolutionize, Affected by factors such as thoroughness, Dr. Sun Yat-sen's vision of "unification of the nation", "unification of territory", "unity of military and political affairs", "unification of internal affairs", "unification of finance" and "wiping away the tyranny of autocracy" has not been realized. He started a new era, and since then, countless people with lofty ideals have not been afraid of life and death, and have continued to pursue the truth of saving the country and the people. In the end, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the revolution was won, the People's Republic of China was established, and was officially declared that "the Chinese people have stood up"!

Finally, let us take a look at some precious cultural relics left over from New Year’s Day in 1912, and jointly commemorate those revolutionary pioneers who served the country and the people!
