First paper prompt – Due Sunday, April 28 at 11:59 PM

You MUST turn in this assignment on time!!! The submission form will automatically close at 11:59 PM on Sunday, April 28, and you will not be able to submit your assignment after that.

Choose one name from the list below, Japanese or Chinese, and write a 1200 word critical biography. You may choose another figure not on the list, if you like, as long as he or she is relevant to the theme of the course (Modern China and Japan). If you choose someone who is not on the list, please keep in mind that unless you read Chinese or Japanese, you will need to choose someone who has been the subject of previous English language scholarship.

This is NOT an exercise in chronology: he/she was born in ———- and died in ——at the age of ———.

Instead, read widely about your subject and select something, some incident or accomplishment that conveys your sense of who this person is and what makes him/her special in the context of history. In other words, paint a vivid picture of your character centered around something specific that occurs in his/her lifetime. Make us see him/her and help us to understand his essence as deeply as possible.
