by: Sam Fusco Mao Zedong ** - born in 1893 & died in 1976 Mao Zedong was one of the most influential people in China's history without a doubt. He was the one founded the People's Republic of China, a nation of communists. In his younger years, he became a member of the communist party, and formed several communist movements such as Kuomintang and Kuomintang's Peasant Movement Training Institute, organizing political events. He later decided to create a new order in north-west China with an army of more than 100,000 men. Their journey to that region of China was a harsh one, including a walk over a bridge suspended in the air over top of a gorge, walking through swamps, and even past mountains. When it was all said and done, only about 30,000 men had survived the long trek. A few years later, Mao organized a reform that he called the Great Leap Forward. This was his attempt at amplifying the rate of production for agriculture and industries in China. Sadly, it trickled out of existance resulting in China resorting to use a classic method of economic production. Soon after, Mao retired from the position he had in the People's Republic of China.

Tung Chi-Chang was one of China's most famous painters, connoiseurs, calligraphers, and critics within the Ming dynasty. He's also known as one of the most artfully knowledged painters of his time. He was the main conductor in one group that eventually went on to create basic principles of the literati school of painting, still being a known influence to Chinese art to this very day.

Tsai, Lun is a very important part of Chinese culture, mainly because he is the inventor of the ever-so-popular, paper. He was the original, first, and only person to claim the name of inventor of paper, and still is to this day. Paper is an extremely common material, and is used for almost anything from books to toilet paper to paper currency. He has effected every country that uses paper, including China. Tsai, Lun is quite frankly the most important inventor in not only China's history, but in history itself.
