Charles Fourier (French: Charles Fourier; April 7, 1772 - October 10, 1837) was a famous French philosopher, economist, and utopian socialist. He invented the term "feminism" in 1837. Fourier was born into a wealthy merchant family in the city of Besançon. After graduating from high school, he worked as a store clerk, salesman, scribe and exchange broker. He criticized some ugly phenomena in the capitalist society at that time and hoped to establish a socialist society with Francestel as the grassroots organization, where personal interests and collective interests were consistent. He believed that the differences between mental work and manual work, and rural and urban work could be completely eliminated, and for the first time he proposed that the degree of women's liberation was a measure of whether the people were completely liberated. His political thought became known as Fourierism. He observed and studied the capitalist system, wrote many papers, and established his utopian socialist ideological system. Taking the level of economic development as a symbol, it believes that human society is a development process from a low stage to a high stage, and divides social history into five stages of development. It believes that the capitalist system must be replaced by a more advanced "harmonious system". He criticized the irrational phenomena of capitalist society and asserted that the decentralization of capitalist production will inevitably lead to competition and anarchy, thus making economic crises inevitable; he believed that capitalist society is a society in which individual interests and collective interests are sharply opposed, and personal happiness is based on the misfortune and pain of others. The wage labor system is a "resurrected slavery system." It is envisaged to establish a "harmonious society" with "Faranghi" as the basic unit to replace the capitalist society. In "Faranghi", agriculture is the mainstay and industry is the secondary. Everyone participates in labor and earns income based on labor, capital and talent. Education is combined with productive labor, social education is implemented for children, and men and women enjoy equal rights. "Faranghi" is only a reflection of early immature proletarian thought. He also fantasizes about imposing it on society through peaceful propaganda and demonstration, thus it is a kind of utopian socialism. However, the rational elements in its theory are one of the theoretical sources for Marx and Engels to create scientific socialism. His major works include "Worldwide Harmony", "Theory of Four Movements", "Theory of Worldwide Unity", "New World", etc.

Gounod was born in Paris, his mother was a pianist and his father was a painter. Musical talent emerged early. In 1836, he entered the Paris Conservatoire and studied under Fromental Allévi.

He then received the opportunity to further his studies in Italy at public expense, studying the religious music of Palestrina and others. On his way back to China in 1842, he came into contact with many famous German and Austrian writers and works, including Mendelssohn, and was deeply affected. In Paris, he served as organist and conductor of several orchestras and choirs. Gounod created his first opera "Sappho" in 1851, but the response was mediocre. The second opera, "The Cruel Nun" in 1852, also failed. The opera "Faust" adapted from Goethe's work in 1859 was a great success because of its popular melody, rich colors and soft lyrics. It created a new trend and established his worldwide status. In addition, his famous opera works include "Romeo and Juliet" (1867), which was adapted from Shakespeare's work. Gounod was a devout Christian, so he created a large number of works on religious themes. His gorgeous and simple style is also unique in religious music.

He was later forced to resign due to leftist parties' opposition to his constitution that required strengthening the powers of the president. In 1958, the Fifth French Republic was established and he served as its first president. The French usually call de Gaulle "General de Gaulle" or even simply "General". De Gaulle attended the Saint-Cyr Military Academy in 1909 and received the Legion of Honor for his outstanding performance in World War I. During the interwar period, de Gaulle was active in different military departments and published many ideas on army building, mentioning the importance of tanks, professional armies, and modern armored mobile warfare. After the outbreak of World War II, he commanded the French armored division and fought many battles with the German army, and was later appointed Deputy Minister of War. After Philippe Pétain came to power, he resolutely fled to London, England, to form a Free French government to fight against the Vichy France led by Pétain. After the Free French and Allied armies liberated Paris in 1944, de Gaulle became chairman of the provisional government of the French Republic. He resigned in 1946 because he opposed the president's lack of real power and failed in the political struggle with the left. In 1958, de Gaulle returned to politics due to the Algerian War, formulated a new constitution, established the French Fifth Republic and was elected as the first president. He was successfully re-elected in 1965 until he resigned due to a defeat in the referendum in 1969. After de Gaulle left office, he concentrated on writing his memoirs and died in 1970. De Gaulle was well versed in power tactics and had mixed reputations. He was praised by Chiang Kai-shek, Mao Zedong, Churchill, Khrushchev, and Kissinger, but he was also criticized by Stalin, Roosevelt and others. Its supporters believe that de Gaulle saved France from danger and restored France's international status; opponents believe that de Gaulle created his own personal myth and was contrary to the democratic system. The French government and the public generally regard de Gaulle as a great head of state in French history, and named the capital airport and French aircraft carrier after him.
