Features: With a bold brush soaring high, always filled with emotion; in spring's warmth and autumn's solemnity, it roams freely. Wild history often surpasses official records, as success and failure are left to be judged by the streets. "Greatest Figures" is a collection of remarkable individuals from the Global Times over 12 years. We selected and reselected, finally choosing 100 extraordinary lives to present to our dear readers. They write tales of legends, and the stories behind them leave us moved and sighing. Power and wealth are all past; "Among the great figures of history, the present still holds the key."
