양야오지, ‘4대 무법자’의 회합 장소

쑨원이 홍콩에서 의학을 공부할 당시, 그는 종종 양야오지에서 가까운 친구들이었던 리우리에, 천샤오바이, 양훙링 등과 만났습니다. 양야오지는 양훙링의 가족이 경영하는 가게로 고흐 스트리트 8번지에 있었습니다. 이곳에서 쑨원을 비롯한 친구들이 모여 자유롭게 정치와 반청 혁명에 대해 이야기를 나눌 수 있었습니다. 그들은 전통적인 사고방식과 양립하기 어려운 견해를 가지게 되었고, 스스로를 ‘4대 무법자’라고 불렀습니다.

실패는 반역자를 낳고, 성공은 왕자를 만듭니다.
이 곳에서 청 왕조를 뒤엎고 공화국을 건설하자는 이야기를 나눴던 네 사람이 있었습니다.
그들은 말을 행동으로 옮겼고, 새로운 나라가 탄생했습니다.
