The Historical Figure in China
Among the Chinese historical figures that are widely acknowledged，Fan
Zhongyan is the most influential in my opinion.Here are the reasons.
Known as a Chinese writer and politician in the Song Dynasty，Fan Zhongyan
was highly appreciated because he made great contributions to society.He
spared no effort to carry out a series of reforms to make his country
prosperous.Besides ， he proposed the establishment of a national school
system，which had a far－reaching influence on the Chinese educational system.
What impresses me most is his famous philosophy of life：“Be the first to
worry about the troubles across the land ， the last to enjoy universal
happiness.” Fan Zhongyan is such a role model that he always
encourages me to be a man of noble character.
