There are some historian people in the history did a lot of contribution, some of them did a lot of bad things, like the large-scale slaughter. One of the most original example must be the first emperor of Chinese Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang.
He was born in a poor village, when he was a child, he was sent to be a monk of the temple in the mountain. China then was ruled by Mongolians, known as Yuan Dynasty. However, the government then was very weak and rot. Every civilians were poor and dead because of the famine, diseases then. Zhu Yuanzhang was one of the victims, the temple he belonged was destroyed. He ran off the mountain and went looking for foods and tried to survive. One time, he was almost dead because of the hunger, luckily, he was rescued by a kind old woman and fed by her. If the old woman didn't meet Zhu Yuanzhang at that time, the Ming Dynasty wouldn't appear in the history, maybe. Then, he joined the army of trying to defeat Yuan Dynasty, after years, he became the main leader of the army and defeat Yuang Dynasty, build Ming Dynasty and became the emperor.
After he became the emperor, his suspicious and irritable personality that was developed when he was poor, had been completely hide by the queen then. However, after the queen was dead, his personality was completely shown, lots of ministers and innocent people were killed.
Zhu Yuangzhang was a great emperor but also a bad-personality rulers in Chinese history. However, we can understand that what a person is, what makes these people so tough might be what they have experienced and feel. That might be a very important factor of why people are so tough. Their desire to do somethings might be one of the factors, too. Sometimes, every of their moves might effect every part of the history and the future.
