At that time, the Ministry of Communications' Peking Telephone East Branch also had a radio that played phonographies of Mr. Sun's speeches recorded during his lifetime for the public to listen to. On March 26th, an amplified radio was set up to broadcast the event. Everyone who heard it burst into tears and felt very sad about the loss of this great man.
