Description
This booklet describes 28 Chinese historical and literary figures who have contributed a great deal to Chinese culture and remain, to this day, an indispensable part of Chinese modern life. Today's Chinese not only remember them, but frequently mention, discuss and commemorate them. Their names are often on the lips of modern Chinese people, as if they were still living with them as brothers or sisters. To understand China and Chinese people, it is essential to know something about these "mysterious" figures!
