Of course, there are also many figures in China's modern history, such as Sun Yat-sen, Zhou Enlai, Liang Qichao and others, all of whom are very famous. I personally recommend you to have a look at Zeng Guofan. His life is wonderful. What he did made the dying Qing Dynasty linger for 60 years, and later generations had more disputes and different opinions (our beloved Chairman Mao admired him very much). I'm reading a book about him now, and I personally feel good. I can learn a lot from him, and I'm sure you will.
