I happily excuse the pedantry, Andrew - if you can't be pedantic on Tarboard, then where can you? I'm afraid, however, that AR made the same mistake (ie using the name "Mme Sun Yat-sen"). I think he can be forgiven, as it does appear to be the name used in Western literature. I note that there is a biography of her by Jung Chang in the TARS Library, with the title "Mme Sun Yat-sen". I haven't seen the book, and don't know how she is referred to inside the book. Anyway, here is another image of her, as a young woman, perhaps less fierce and Missee Lee-like than the image in your first post on this thread:-

(BTW, a friend of mine who has just joined TARS heard your talk to TARS East last Saturday and was fascinated by it. I hope you will give it again - I'm sure others would like to hear it :-))
