Sun Yat-sen started school in China in 1876, but moved to Honolulu three years later at the age of 13. There, he lived with his brother, Sun Mei, and studied at the Iolani School. Sun Yat-sen graduated from Iolani's high school in 1882, and spent a single semester at Oahu College, before his elder brother sent him back to China at the age of 17.
