Hunan has nurtured many famous historical figures, from Emperor Yan - who created the culture and history of south China - to Mao Zedong, founder of the People's Republic of China; from the poet statesman Qu Yuan - who dedicated his life to his country - to Wei Yuan who advocated 'studying enemy technology to use against the enemy'; from Cai Lun - who invented the world's first paper - to Yuan Longping, the 'father of hybrid rice'. All are inheritors of the Hunanese spirit of patriotism and innovation - an influence on China's past and on its present. They are an inspiration to all - now and for the future.
