Time Magazine is a magazine with significant global influence. And the cover of this magazine is not something that can be put on the shelf.
To be the cover of this magazine, it must have a certain influence on a global scale. The first Chinese on the cover of this magazine is a famous anti-Japanese general Wu Peifu.
Wu Peifu was the last of the Xiongxiong clan figures of the Beiyang warlord period. Although he was a military general, he was born in a show. In China's modern history, Wu Peifu's deeds are still worth mentioning.
In terms of military affairs, Wu Peifu was of excellent quality and won victories in the battles against Anxiang and Anhui, as well as in Ding'e and Kefeng. Moreover, because of Wu Peifu's excellent military ability, he was also known as the "Changsheng General".
Because Wu Peifu is a talented person, in terms of culture, Wu Peifu also has a good achievement. He not only had an understanding of Buddhist thought, but also a profound understanding of Confucian culture. Moreover, Wu Peifu also left a lot of poetry works.
Wu Peifu's most admirable thing is in his attitude toward the Japanese army, because of the needs of the Japanese army's plan to control China with China, So Wu Peifu has also become the object of the Japanese army's efforts to win over. However, Wu Peifu was not accustomed to what the Japanese army was doing, so no matter how much the Japanese army threatened and seduced, Wu Peifu was not moved. Later, the Japanese army saw that the co-optation was ineffective, so the Japanese army began to plan to assassinate Wu Peifu. In the end, Wu Peifu was poisoned and killed by the Japanese army.
After Wu Peifu's death, all the political leaders at that time saw Wu Peifu's funeral, and even the top general of the Japanese invasion of China personally paid homage to Wu Peifu. The Japanese-controlled provinces of North China lowered their flags to half-mast to express their condolences for Wu Peifu's death.
