Real Estate Agent with Douglas Elliman Real Estate

Tomorrow October 10 (double tens) 2011 will mark Taiwan Republic of China 100 years old.

Taiwan Double Tenth Day History: Double Tenth Day is the national day of the Republic of China more commonly known as Taiwan, this day commemorates the start of the Wuchang Uprising of October 10, 1911. On January 1, 1912, the Qing Dynasty in China collapsed and the Republic of China was established, all thanks to the Wuchang Uprising. After the end of World War II and end of the Chinese Civil War in 1949, the Republic of China government gained control of Taiwan but ultimately lost control of mainland China.

The seat of the Republic of China government relocated to Taipei, Taiwan, while the Chinese Communist Party founded the People’s Republic of China in mainland China. The Republic of China was established in 1911, finishing up the Qing Dynasty and ending over 2,000 years of imperial rule in China to become the oldest surviving republic in East Asia.

The 100th National Day is a big event for the Republic of China (Taiwan)-- the first democratic republic in Asia — is going to be 100 years old. 慶祝建國一百年雙十國慶!

籌備委員會係由政府(中央與地方)與民間各界人士共同組成之任務編組,具多元性、代表性,為全國各界之交流平台。主要功能為針對建國一百年慶祝活動 進行討論,期能集思廣益、凝聚共識,彰顯國人對建國一百年之重視,並藉此形成全民參與氛圍,獲致促進團結和諧,強化國家認同,攜手共築美麗願景之目的。

What fascinating information Elleen about the Republic of China - Taiwan and its relative young number of years history. I so liked that you included the Chinese version of this too. Now I need to take up that Rosetta Stone course and learn Chinese

Interesting information about China.  It's nice to be reminded of important dates for other countries.  Your blog did not show the Chinese text that you included (just squares) on my computer screen, but I really like the idea of dual translation.
