Dear Jim,
It's great to hear from you. I feel proud knowing your interest in Chinese history.
As for my favorite figure in Chinese history, it must be Wei Yuan, a great thinker in the late Q ing Dynasty.He, in his book, Haiguo Tuzhi(Maps and Records of the World), introduced modern technologies and ideas to China.That opened our eyes to the world.In fact, he inspires me to major in English in college, to be a bridge between China and the world.
Interested in knowing more？I can find you some books！Just let me know.
Cheers!
Yours,
