Sun Yat-sen Was Stranded Here by His Own Brother
yudashkai
After learning of Sun Yat-sen's baptism, his older brother Sun Mei was so infuriated that he "summoned" Sun back to Hawaii. Sun Mei threatened to cut off all financial support and forced Sun to return a property registered in his name.
Sun Yat-sen was stranded in Hawaii for over a year without completing his high school diploma. Yet even this setback couldn't stop him — Sun leveraged his Christian faction contacts and pleaded with Reverend Francis Damon, superintendent of the Hawaiian Board of Mission, successfully raising $300 (about $11,000 today) to fund his return to China.
From Yu-kai Chou's "10,000 Hours of Play": "Sun Mei threatened to cut off all Sun's financial support and forced him to return a property that Sun Mei had registered in his name. Sun Yat-sen had to oblige and was therefore returned to Hawaii for over a year without getting his high school diploma."
