Central Hunan Province was never short of talents and heroes in the modern times. Representatives of them were Zeng Guofan, Chen Tianhua, Cai E, Song Xilian, and Cai Hesen, all well - known and influential in the Chinese history. These extraordinary men shared something in common as most of them were smart, hungry for knowledge, and known for their persever- ance. They all received some education because their families were wealthy enough to afford it. They were either fellow townsmen, or classmates, or relatives, therefore, relationship among them was close. There were more military talents than those in com- merce, education, culture, and science and technology.
