Tokugawa Iemitsu (Japanese: Tokugawa Iemitsu, August 12, 1604 - June 8, 1651), the third generation general of the Edo shogunate in Japan. The eldest son of the second generation shogun Tokugawa Hidetada, his mother was Sogenin. Iemitsu had a half-brother named Nagasumaru, who died in infancy. His younger brother Tokugawa Tadanagi (Suruga Danagon); his elder sisters from the same mother are Senhime, Tamahime (Kokohime), Katsuhime, and Hatsuhime; and his younger sister Wahiko (Wakko, whose childhood name was Matsuhime, and the middle palace of Emperor Gomizuo, Higashi Fukumonin). His half-brother Baoke Zhengzhi (born from his side wife A Jingzhi Fang). Her nickname is Takechiyo. The wet nurse is Kasuga Bureau. The brothers are Masakatsu Inaba and Masakichi Inaba (brothers born to Kasuga Bureau). The main wife is Takaji Takashi, the daughter of Guan Baiyingji Nobobo, and there are about eight people in the side rooms. Among the fifteen generations of shoguns of the Tokugawa shogunate, there were shoguns born from the royal family. Although there were three shoguns, including the first Ieyasu, the third Iemitsu, and the last Keiki, among these, only Tokugawa Iemitsu was truly the heir born of his father who was already a shogun and the royal family (Odaisho).

Tokugawa Iesato (Japanese: Tokugawa Iesato/Tokugawa Iesato, Romanized: Tokugawa Iesato, August 24, 1863 - June 5, 1940), the 16th generation head of the Tokugawa clan, and the 7th generation head of the Tian Degawa family.

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi (Japanese: Tokugawa Tsunayoshi/Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, Romanized: Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, February 23, 1646 - February 19, 1709) was the fifth-generation shogun of the Edo shogunate in Japan. He served from 1680 to 1709. Tsunayoshi is the fourth son of the third shogun, Tokugawa Iemitsu, and his mother is his concubine, Ayu no Kata (Kaichoin). He was originally the lord of Tatebayashi Domain. He joined the Shogun's family in 1680 and died in 1709. He was given the title "Jōken-in Palace to the Prime Minister of the Kingdom". On the basis of inheriting the line of the previous regime, Tsunayoshi reformed the shogunate administration, promoting the shift of shogunate politics from "arbitrary" to "civilized governance" and the bureaucratization of samurai. He made clear rewards and punishments, severely punished the hereditary warriors who had nothing to do with their bodies, and promoted talents regardless of their origins. And committed to improving social atmosphere and educating people, Japan has ushered in one of the most glorious eras in history, the "Genroku Age". The economic scale of the Genroku era expanded rapidly, and the prosperous economy promoted the blooming of academic and artistic fields. Confucian scholar Ogiyo Sura, playwrights Ihara Saikaku/Chikamatsu Monzaemon, haiku comedian Matsuo Basho, painter/craftsman Ogata Korin and other geniuses in various fields who had a profound impact on later generations of Japan appeared in a spurt. In terms of improving social atmosphere and educating people, Tsunayoshi promulgated a series of laws based on the compassion of Buddhism and the benevolence of Confucianism, providing care and assistance to vulnerable groups in society such as the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled, and providing care and protection to animals other than humans. This series of laws is known as the "Human Compassion Order." Evaluations of this series of laws in past historical descriptions and literary adaptations are mostly based on unidentified rumors, thus leaving a negative impression on people such as "weird and extreme animal protection laws." Because the political reforms touched the interests of the samurai class, Tsunayoshi was smeared as a arrogant, extravagant and indulgent king in the works of samurai scholars such as "Three Kings Gaiki", "Odaidaiki" and "Ori no Shiba noki". Later literary and artistic works often draw on such biased records as references. Since the end of the 20th century, modern Japanese history researchers such as Oishi Shinzaburo, Tsukamoto Manabu, Yamamuro Kyoko, and Nezaki Mitsuo have spoken highly of this outstanding monarch. In April 2023, Tokugawa Iehiro, the 19th generation head of the Tokugawa clan, publicly expressed his recognition and admiration for Tsunayoshi.

Dwight David Eisenhower (English: Dwight David Eisenhower, October 14, 1890 - March 28, 1969), a U.S. Army general and politician, with the highest military rank of five-star general, nicknamed Ike. Eisenhower held important positions during World War II, serving as the Supreme Allied Commander in Europe and serving as President of the United States from 1953 to 1961. Eisenhower was born and raised in Abilene County, Kansas, to a German immigrant family - the Eisenhower family. His family was strongly religious, and his mother believed in the Mennonites, but Eisenhower himself did not start participating in organized Christian churches until 1952. He graduated from West Point in 1915 and later married Mamie Dodd, with whom he had two children. During World War I, he was refused entry to Europe to fight in the war because of his German ethnicity and was assigned to train members of a tank division in a military camp in the United States. After the First World War, he was sent to serve under different officers and was promoted to brigadier general in 1941. After the United States officially declared war on the Axis Powers in the middle of World War II, General Eisenhower was responsible for planning and supervising the Allied forces' Operation Torch in the North African battlefield and the invasion of Sicily in the southern Italian battlefield in Europe. Later, he supervised the advance against Nazi Germany's occupied areas (such as the Normandy landing). After the end of World War II, due to his outstanding military exploits, he was appointed by then-U.S. President Truman as Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army (1945-1948) and President of Columbia University (1948-1953). He was also recommended as the first Supreme Commander of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (1951-1952). In 1952, Eisenhower ran as the Republican candidate. His main intention in running for office is considered to be to prevent his party rival, fellow Republican Senator Robert A. Taft, from pursuing isolationist policies after being elected. Taft had publicly opposed the establishment of NATO because he did not want the postwar United States to fall into the quagmire of "foreign entanglements" again. Eisenhower won overwhelmingly in that election and his re-election in 1956, defeating his Democratic opponent Adlai Stevenson II twice in a row. Eisenhower's main domestic and foreign goals during his term were to reduce the federal fiscal deficit and curb the expansion of communist forces. In 1953, as the Korean War came to an end, he threatened to use nuclear weapons when facing the People's Republic of China's military, but ultimately agreed to sign the Korea Agreement

Desmond Mpilo Tutu (Xhosa: Desmond Mpilo Tutu, October 7, 1931 - December 26, 2021), formerly translated as Tu Demin, is the emeritus archbishop of the Anglican Diocese of Cape Town and the first African-American archbishop of the Anglican Church in South Africa. He is known as the pioneer of human rights theology. Tu Tu was also the winner of the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize. He began working to dismantle apartheid in South Africa in the 1980s, and began leading the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in 1995, and is famous for promoting transformational justice in South Africa. Tutu served as Bishop of Johannesburg from 1985 to 1986, and then Archbishop of Cape Town from 1986 to 1995. Tutu was the first black person to hold both positions. He aimed at the integration of black theology and African theology, and considered himself a socialist politically. Born in Klerksdorp to a poor family of mixed Xhosa and Tswana descent. Tutu moved around South Africa when he was young. Entering adulthood, he trained as a teacher and married Nomalizo Leah Tutu, with whom he had several children. In 1960 he was ordained an Anglican priest and moved to England in 1962 to study theology at King's College London. In 1966, he returned to South Africa and taught at the Federal Theological Seminary of Southern Africa, then at the University of Botswana, the University of Lesotho and the United University of Swaziland. In 1972 he became Director of Africa at the Theological Education Fund, a position based in London but which required regular travel to Africa. Returning to South Africa in 1975, he served first as dean of St. Mary's Cathedral in Johannesburg and then as bishop of Lesotho, where he played an active role in opposing apartheid and the apartheid system of white minority rule in South Africa. From 1978 to 1985, he served as Secretary-General of the South African Council of Churches and gradually became one of South Africa's leading anti-apartheid activists. Although he warned the Nationalist government that apartheid would lead to racial violence, as an activist he emphasized nonviolent resistance and the introduction of foreign economic pressure to change apartheid policies. In 1985 he became Bishop of Johannesburg and in 1986 Archbishop of Cape Town, the most senior position in the Anglican hierarchy in South Africa. In this role, he emphasized a consensus-building leadership model

Enrico Fermi (Italian: Enrico Fermi; September 29, 1901 - November 28, 1954) was an Italian-American physicist and professor of physics at the University of Chicago. He has made outstanding contributions to quantum mechanics, nuclear physics, particle physics, and statistical mechanics. During the Manhattan Project, he led the creation of the world's first nuclear reactor (Chicago Reactor No. 1). He was also one of the designers and creators of the atomic bomb, and is known as the "Father of Atomic Energy." Fermi held several nuclear energy-related patents and won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1938 for his research on induced radiation produced by neutron bombardment and his discovery of transuranic elements. He is one of the few physicists who can be called outstanding in both theoretical and experimental aspects as physics becomes increasingly specialized. Fermi made his first major theoretical contribution in the field of statistical mechanics. Physicist Wolfgang Pauli proposed the Pauli Exclusion Principle in 1925. Fermi analyzed ideal gas systems based on this principle, and the resulting statistical form is now commonly called Fermi-Dirac statistics. Today, particles that obey the exclusion principle are called "fermions." Later, Pauli analyzed beta decay. In order to conserve energy in this decay process, Pauli assumed that when electrons are produced, an electrically neutral particle is also produced. Such particles had not yet been observed. Fermi analyzed the properties of this particle, derived its theoretical model, and called it a "neutrino." The theoretical model he derived from his theoretical analysis of beta decay was later called the "Fermi interaction" by physicists. This theory was later developed into the weak interaction theory. The weak interaction is one of the four basic interactions. Fermi also conducted experimental studies of induced radiation induced by neutrons. He discovered that slow neutrons are easier to capture than fast neutrons, and derived the Fermi lifetime equation to describe this radiation process. After bombarding thorium and uranium nuclei with slow neutrons, he thought he had obtained new elements. Although he received the Nobel Prize in Physics for this discovery, these elements were later discovered to be merely products of nuclear fission. Fermi fled Italy in 1938 to avoid his wife, Laura, being affected by Italy's newly passed racial laws because of her Jewish origin. He immigrated to the United States and worked on the Manhattan Project during World War II. Fermi led his team to design and build Chicago Reactor 1. The reactor conducted a critical test on December 2, 1942, completing the first artificial
