10-10-10

Sun Yat-sen, founding father of modern China, a view agreed upon by both Mainland China and Taiwan
‎The 99th anniversary of the success of the revolution!   Long live the ROC (the Republic of China)!!  革命成功九十九年紀念!中華民國萬歲!!

Double Ten Day is the national day of Taiwan and celebrates the start of the Wuchang Uprising of October 10, 1911, which led to the collapse of the Qing Dynasty in China and establishment of the Republic of China on January 1, 1912.  It is therefore designated by the government as the National Day of Celebration in Taiwan (ROC).   In the People's Republic of China (PRC) it is still celebrated as the anniversary of the Wuchang Uprising.

西元一九一一年十月 十日(即辛亥八月十九日) 革命軍發動武昌起義,此役不僅為中國政局開創新里程碑,也替中華民族翻開新頁,因此定每年的十月十日為「國慶日」。
