This year marks the 160th anniversary of the birth of Dr Sun Yat-sen. Archival documentary "Sun Yat-sen" began airing on November 8, running nightly at 8 pm on CCTV Channel 1 and 9 pm on CCTV Channel 9, with simultaneous streaming on the Yang Shi Pin platform, through November 13.

The documentary chronicles the life of Sun Yat-sen, who loved his country as dearly as his own life. The production team assembled a large body of his letters, telegrams and articles, along with recollections of his contemporaries, to show the many dimensions of the great figure. Rare footage and recordings of his speeches bring the history to life.
