Mao Zedong: He led the people of China to victory in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and established a new China.
Deng Xiaoping: Correcting the mistakes of the leadership and vigorously developing the economy put forward the Socialism with Chinese characteristics.
The above three should be the correct answers in textbooks, but there are still two people who have been deliberately ignored in modern history.
Yuan Shikai: Overthrow the reality of the Qing government and actively support the Republic. The Beiyang government led by him tried to mediate among the great powers and strive for national interests under the circumstances of internal and external troubles. It's a pity that a misstep makes a lasting regret, and the monarchy is restored, which is endless.
Chiang Kai-shek: The first leader of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the commander-in-chief of the China-India-Burma War Zone in the anti-fascist war, concentrated all his forces against the Japanese invaders under the separatist regime of warlords. In the later stage of failure, he retreated to Taiwan Province Province and adhered to the principle of "One China". It's not easy.
