'''Cuiheng''' ({{Zh|c=翠亨村}|p= Cuìhéngcūn}}) is a village located within the area of the town of [[Nanlang]] (南郎鎮), part of the [[prefecture-level city]] of [[Zhongshan]] in [[Guangdong]] province, southern [[China]]. Cuiheng is the birthplace of [[Sun Yat-sen]], the "[[Father of the Nation]]" of the [[Republic of China]].


{{Infobox settlement
There is no [[Political_division_of_China#County_level|county level]] between the town of Nanlang (at the [[Political_division_of_China#Township_level|township level]]) and the city of Zhongshan (at the [[Political_division_of_China#Prefecture_level|prefecture level]]). When Sun Yat-sen was born, Nanlang was inside the county of Siangshan ([[pinyin]]: Xiangshan) (香山縣), itself depending from [[Guangzhou|Canton]] [[Zhou (political division)|prefecture]] (now Guangzhou) (府), [[Guangdong]] province. However, in 1925, at the death of Sun Yat-sen, the name of Siangshan county was changed into Chungshan (pinyin: Zhongshan) county to honor his memory. Then in 1983 it was turned into the [[county-level city]] of Zhongshan, and in 1988 it was elevated and made the [[prefecture-level city]] of Zhongshan (probably again to honor the home region of Sun Yat-sen), so that today there is no structure remaining at the county level.
