My comment:
(a) Dr Yun Yet-sen, as well as KMT, is such a liar. There have been rumors/reports that came up every now and then that said he was born in Hawaii. His childhood stories invented to deify him, in Canton, turn out to be lies, too.

I have never liked him.

(b) 普纳荷中学的欧胡学院

(i) Punahou School: founded in 1841 to serve children of Congregational missionaries, but now co-educational and non-sectarian; in this year: enrollment 3,760 students (K-12) , tuition: $17,800 (all grade levels).

Quote:

"Punahou School was built on the lands of Ka Punahou, named for the fabled natural spring discovered centuries ago under a hala tree. The spring still flows today, at the heart of Punahou's campus under the Thurston Memorial Chapel, and its waters not only form the iconic Lily Pond, but also are used to irrigate portions of the campus.

"1859: The school's name officially became Oahu College

"1934: The school's name was officially changed from Oahu College back to Punahou School.
