Liu Bowen and Kamehameha the Great are similar because they were both great leaders.
Liu Bowen was born in Quigtian on July 1st, 1311. Although he was never the emperor of the Ming dynasty, he was a military advisor(I could not find the dates). He died on the 16th of May, 1375. King Kamehameha the 1st is believed to have been born some time in 1758 in Kohala, Hawaii. He ruled from 1782 all the way up to his death in 1819.
These two leaders both had a taste for war. They were both great warriors and military leaders. In fact, both of these men mad very similar goals. Liu Bowen wanted to conquer all of the other dynasties to unite china. If you know anything about Kamehameha the Great, that is exactly what he did with Hawaii. In fact, thats why he is such a popular leader of Hawaii. These two men also both had prophiceis saying that they would be great leaders.
Liu Bowen once said “Thunder is like fire shot from a cannon”. This just shows how invested Liu Bowen was in military. This also connects to Kamehameha because his trusty Cannon Lopaka was his favorite “tool of destruction”. It is said that sometimes Kamehameha would fire his canon just to strike fear into the hearts of the Enemies. The quote that I chose for Kamehameha was “Forward, little brothers and drink bitter waters. Their is not turning back”. He said this right before him and his army ran into a war in which they won. The characteristic trait that I feel like both of these quotes show is powerful. This is very necessary trait to have if you are a leader. Without power, your people will not listen to you.
Li Shizhen and Pauahi both made an impactful change to their societies even after their deaths. Li Shizhen was born on July 13, 1518 in China and he died in 1593. During his time he was a great doctor. He took 27 years to contribute to clinical medicine. He spent his time finding cures for diseases during his time. Some diseases were thought to be incurable but Li found a way every time. During his time alive he made a book to record all of his findings and teachings so people that read it would know the ways he figured out the cures to these diseases. Li’s quote talks about himself staying inside his home for a very long time. Gaining new knowledge and studying the arts of medicine. Bernice Pauahi Bishop was born on December 19,1831 and died on October 1, 1884. She was a very intelligent woman that innovated many things to help out Hawaii today. She foresaw that the Hawaiian race wasn’t getting the proper education they were supposed to. So in her will she mentioned that she wants to giver her land to provide a good and chiefly education for the Hawaiians. This shows her selflessness, foreseeing and intelligence. Everything she did was for the people.
