In which Kaiser Kuo, David Moser and Jeremiah Jenne discuss Dr. Sun's role in the 1911 Xinhai revolution. The conversation soon turns to Yuan Shi Kai who is described as looking like "nothing more than a bloated walrus corpse."
There's actually a really interesting discussion of perspectives here -how Suns Three Principles have been interpreted'differently in and by Beijing and Taipei. This is exactly the kind of thing that takes essays from 6s to solid 7s, so pay heed please.
