To me, one of the most inspiring people in chinese history is modes about four hundred and sixty eight to three hundred and seventy six. B, C, E. IT is said that modes was a soldier, good IT would work, and was the inventor of the kite. But in fact, above all, he was a great thinker. Moza lived during the warring states period. Back then, many kingdoms were fighting against each other. In these wars, the common people were always hurt to mods. This had to stop. So he spent his lifetime trying to bring peace. His idea of love was one reason that mods wanted peace. IT was important to him that everyone should show the same kindness and care to everyone else, whether they were family, friends or strangers. He also believes states should avoid attacking one another, though modes lived more than two thousand years ago, his idea is live on. I think he is still a great inspiration to many people. Now, more than ever, people around the world need to hear the message of love and peace and work together to build a community of a shared future for mankind.
