Liu Hong.

About Liu Hong

Liu Hong (236–306), courtesy name Heji or Shuhe, was a military general and politician of the Jin dynasty (266–420). He was most known for his role as Inspector of Jingzhou between 303 and 306. After quelling the revolt of Zhang Chang, Liu Hong ushered Jingzhou into a brief period of peace and stability, making it a haven for refugees fleeing the civil war and rebellions happening throughout most of China. Liu Hong was a venerated figure among the people, and traditional historians praised him as a model governor. After his death, his successors failed to match his standard of governance, leading to uprisings that would affect southern China for more than a decade.
