Synopsis
Excerpt from Our Entry Into Hunan
The people of Hunan are a sturdy and independent race, possessing all the strength and also manifesting all the weaknesses of the national character. They are warlike, impetuous, tenacious of purpose; at the same time they are proud, conservative, and dis dainful. Their natural energy leads them to abandon the more peaceful pursuits of life, with the result that probably most of the military of the Chinese Empire are Hunanese. Many of the civil offices are also held by these people, their force of character bringing them to the front as the natural leaders of the nation. It is on record that at one time six of the seven viceroys of the Chinese Empire were natives of Human.
