Liu Pei Hsuan-te
He was not much of a warrier. Was weak martially, and poor at devising a strategem -- his only strong point is that he was descended from the Han dynasty, which remains to be confirmed still now. And he was virtuous, enough to attract men.
Although I wonder how Chinese described human figure in the old days, his was told very oddly: his face was white, his ears are so big that the lobes reached the level of his shoulders, and his arms are long to let his hands take his knees when he stood straight. He was a poor shoe peddler before uprising. He didn't like to study or read, wasting his mother's hard effort to send his son to a city for studying under straintened circumstances.
Considering the way of his life, it must be called a mystery. He couldn't have his own domain or castle over twenty years after uprising. He could have kept unknown, but was patronized by some monarches, insisting his questionable descent. And he saw K'ung-ming. It was the real beginning of his story. He was 47.
