辛亥革命后,孙中山先生在拟订祖国建设计划时,十分关心汕头的建设发展,曾多次乘船来汕头,对汕头港考察调查,分析也十分中肯。 他在《建国方略》中指出,全国要建设三个世界大港,四个二等港, After the Revolution of 1911, Sun Yat-sen was very concerned about the construction and development of Shantou in the drafting of the plan for the construction of the motherland. He had many trips to Shantou by boat and his investigation and analysis of Shantou Port was very fair. He pointed out in his “Strategy for the Establishment of a People’s Republic of China” that three large ports of world and four second-class ports should be built throughout the country.
