孫中山與中國人的山河歲月
徐宗懋
過去半世紀多以來，孫中山先生相關紀念畫冊已經多次出版，在每一次誕辰週年紀念時，不同的單位都會出版相關的紀念畫冊，由於圖片受限於原始材料，所有孫中山紀念畫冊的內容圖像，其實都是大同小異的，而且僅是重複孫中山先生生平的幾件大事，包括出生、成長、求學、奔走革命，一直到回到廣州建軍等等…。這種重複最後可能陷入儀式化和形式化，而忽略了紀念孫中山的初衷，是要重新檢視中國人歷史每一個階段的得失，從而能更好的面對未來。
換言之，紀念孫中山不應該是儀式化的重複，應該是動態的，能夠在不同時期反覆地審視中國人本身的歷史，這就是我們製作這本畫冊最根本的動機。我們將畫冊命名為《孫中山的時代精神》，編輯的重點不在於巨細靡遺的重複孫中山人生中的小細節，而是重點鋪陳孫中山的人生與中國人大時代之間的關係。它不是一本「孫中山生平畫傳」，而是「孫中山與百年中國」的大時代描述。因此，我們在編輯過程中，略過一些瑣碎的細節，以呈現中國人的山河歲月，並從中體會到每一代中國人曾有的夢想和付出。這正是孫中山偉大之處，雖然他過世了快百年了，但他的思想和人格風範深深地烙印在中國歷史發展的心靈上。
在技術層面上，我們從各方收集了大量的孫中山與百年中國的歷史影像，由優秀的同仁們進行數位彩色復原，讓中國歷史能夠鮮活地重現，其中辛亥革命和奉安大典的許多歷史照片，都是第一次使用的，有很高的閱讀和收藏價值。感謝同仁們的努力，讓我們在孫中山誕辰一百五十週年的紀念日，得以留下這本感人的歷史影像紀錄！
孫中山與中國人的山河歲月 英文翻譯:
Sun Yat-sen, Life and Legacy in 150 Years
It has become almost customary to commemorate Dr. Sun Yat-sen, founding father of the Republic of China (ROC), on and around his birthday anniversaries by publishing collections of his photographs. Through the years, those pictorial albums accumulated voluminously, but the photos are almost identical, due to the limited availability. And the presentations are more or less chronological, highlighting major periods of his life -- birth and youth, schooling at home and abroad, public campaign for revolution, and stay in Canton to build up a revolutionary force in his later years. Repeating and repeating, many publications fell into a stereotype ritual that dulled the true motive for remembering this great figure who bailed China out of imperial decline and created a blueprint for a modern democracy and for reexamining his legacy along China’s trajectory from decline to rise.
This means Dr. Sun should be commemorated in a dynamic continuum, reflecting his footprint in the context of China’s history. This is the editorial intent of this pictorial collection, titled “Dr. Sun Yat-sen, Life and Legacy in China’s 150 Years”, which marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of the ROC founding father in 2016. This book puts aside tidbits of his life, and links his life and legacy with China’s milestones from a dying emperor, through world wars to a democratic ROC in Taiwan. This is not “Pictures of Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s Life,” but “Dr. Sun Yat-sen through China in 150 years.” His figure is visible in China’s most turbulent years, his blueprints for China have been embodied by his successors, and his aspiration to usher Chinese into modern civilization is carried on by more than four generations of Chinese. He, with idealism, dedication, and philosophies for a better China, survives as a giant role model for all Chinese.
Based upon our vast and valuable collections of historical photographs, our staff members have used digital colorization to give these black-and-white images new life. Many pictures showing the 1911 Wuchang Uprising that toppled the Qing Dynasty and the national ceremony for his burial appear in this book for the first time in print. With all the credit going to our staff members, we have created this pictorial presentation with both historical and artistic values for collector’s edition to mark the 150th anniversary of Dr. Sun’s birth.
