Lin Sen
Lin Sen (Chinese: 林森; pinyin: Lín Sēn; March 16, 1868 – August 1, 1943), courtesy name Zichao (子超), sobriquet Changren (長仁), was Chairman of the National Government of the Republic of China from 1931 until his death.
Early life
Born to a middle-class family in Shangan Township (尚幹鄉), Minhou County (閩侯縣), Fujian, Lin was educated by American missionaries. He later worked in the Telegram Bureau of Taipei, Taiwan in 1884. After the First Sino-Japanese War, he engaged in guerrilla activities against the Japanese occupiers. He returned to the mainland and worked in the Shanghai customs office in 1902. He later lived in Hawaii and San Francisco.
There he was recruited by the Tongmenghui in 1905, and was an overseas organizer for the Kuomintang. During the Xinhai Revolution, he was in charge of the Jiangxi revolt. He became speaker of the senate in the National Assembly. After the failed Second Revolution against President Yuan Shikai, Lin fled with Sun Yat-sen to Japan and joined his Chinese Revolutionary Party. He was sent to the United States to raise funds from the party's local branches. In 1917, he followed Sun to Guangzhou where he continued to lead its "extraordinary session" during the Constitutional Protection Movement. When the assembly defected to the Beiyang government, he remained with Sun and later served as governor of Fujian.

Turn It Into Something Special
by: SashaThere's a voice inside our soul
Calling out so we don't fall
Nothing's lost that can't be found
Ain't a thing you can't get 'round
Turn it into something good
There's a chance you really could
Turn it into something special
When you see it's time to choose
Gonna find you'll never lose
Turn it into something special
When your calm is broken too
And you don't know what to do
Hold your fire and look above
Take the flame don't put it out
Turn it into something good
There's a chance you really could
Turn it into something special
When you see it's time to choose
Gonna find you'll never lose
Turn it into something special
Just believe in something new
We all have our part to do
Turn it into something special
And you'd still be standing strong
Hold your crown and carry on
Turn it into something special
When you know right from the start
Gonna play it from the heart
Take a chance and make things better
Leave the fears and doubts behind
Don't give in just keep on tryin'
Turn it into something special
Mmmmm. mmmmm... uuuuuu...
Turn it into something good
There's a chance you really could
Turn it into something special
When you see it's time to choose
Gonna find you'll never lose
Turn it into something special
Turn it into something new
We all have our part to do
take a chance and make it special
And you'd still be standing strong
Hold your crown and carry on
Turn it into something...
Just believe in something

Just believe in something, yea yea.
Naa naa naa na na naa.
We gotta carry on, we gotta carry on and on.
Naa naa naa na na naa.

You gotta believe in something
Naa naa naa na na naa...
