Liu Bei
Liu Bei (Wade-Giles spelling: Liu Pei; Mandarin pronunciation: ; 161 – 10 June 223), also known by his style name Liu Xuande (Wade-Giles spelling: Liu Hsuan-te), was a military general and later the founding emperor of the state of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms era of Chinese history. Despite having a later start than his rivals and lacking both the material resources and social status they commanded, Liu Bei overcame his many defeats to carve out his own realm, which at its peak spanned modern day Sichuan, Guizhou, Hunan, part of Hubei and part of Gansu.
