Hello, I am your Chinese xpert here...
If you are referring to 'Chinese revolution', many of the other answers are correct...China has always had internal strife and conflict...dating back to pre-Qin Dynasty and the first unification of China as a kingdom...221BC. The most important revolutions that have happened in modern Chinese history would be the Taiping Rebellion (1850s) which brought about the fall of China's last dynasty the Qing in the 19th c. By early 20th c., the Qing dynasty was weakened to the point that a Republican revolution led by Dr. Sun Yat Sen, finally put an end to over 2,000 years of dynasty. Shortly after this republican revolution (1911), Sun Yat Sen was ousted from power in a political coup led by the Manchu Yuan Shi kai and the founding of the Kuomintang...(the Qing dynasty was Manchu...Shenyang,
NE China. With the slide of the one hopeful republican revolution into warlordism and corruption...China became occupied by Japan in the NE in 1933...a puppet Japanese government was set up in 1937, with Pu Yi, the last Qing emperor as it's monarch.
During this time, the Communist Party, founded on July 1, 1921, and led by Mao Zedong, had staunch support in southern and central Chinese provinces. This is the final revolution - the Communist revolution. With an anti-Japanese war already being fought by the Kuomintang, the Communist - Kuomintang war was ever mounting...with American involvement in the Pacific and eventually defeat of Japan in WW2...left the Communist army with large rural support...and the eventually defeat and fleeing of the remaining KMT forces to Taiwan. Communist China was proclaimed on Oct. 1, 1949. The people's revoution had succeeded, but the years to come would be some of the most toughest times China would face...re: the Great Leap Forward. Finally, you may speak of the cultural revolution in China during the 1960s and 1970s...with the the Comunist Party divided in a power struggle between Mao, and others such as Liu Shaoqi, Jiang Ching fought for complete power of the party and renounced what Mao had done during the Great Leap forward...in response Mao was revered almost like a God in the streets, little red book, etc...as the father and leader of New China...eventually Mao dies (76) and the Cultural revolution ends as another tragedy in the internal strife that has characterized Chinese history throughout. The idea of communism, which China currently is, is to be in a revolutionary state at all times, throughout history, the revolution never ends...while this is the traditional ideal of communists, China has rapidly changed from a Maoist, totalitarian country, to one with major economic reforms, a booming economy, and unprecedented development. So, there are four revolutions I've mentioned:
Taiping (1850s)
Republican (1911)
Communist (1949-present)
Cultural (1960s-70s

It was all over China. All of it.
The Chinese revolution came about with the collapse of the Manchu dynasty, a result of increasing internal disorders, pressure from foreign governments, and the weakness of central government. A nationalist revolt from 1911 to 1912 led to a provisional republican constitution being proclaimed and a government established in Beijing (Peking) headed by Yuan Shihai. The Guomindang were faced with the problems of restoring the authority of central government and meeting the challenges from militaristic factions (led by warlords) and the growing communist movement.

It happened all over China, not just in one spot. Take a major Chinese city (and old Chinese, not the places that they've taken over) and there you go. The Communist Chinese got mainland China and the Capitalists got Taiwan.
