From the Paper:

"Sun's personal magnetism can be characterized in several different physical forms. Even during his exile he was able to leverage significant funds overseas to fund his revolutionary campaign. He received investment from many Southeast Chinese immigrants as well as Europeans who believed in his ideological vision. Another one of his coups was to convince both Russian and American military talents to assist him in assembling and building effective military operations in China. The inevitable result was that Sun was able to establish an organized resistance using Western technology and military weaponry as well as sophisticated military strategy and principles. During this time, Sun could only use his own passion and ideology to convince others, and it is through this magnetism that he became the driving force behind the revolution. It is evident that without his strong adherence and persistence, he would never have been able to succeed in his vision for Chinese revolution."
