Ernesto "Che" Guevara was an Argentine Marxist revolutionary, physician, author, and guerrilla leader who played a key role in the Cuban Revolution. He was born on June 14, 1928, and was executed on October 9, 1967. Che Guevara's life is often associated with his commitment to fighting for social justice and his revolutionary activities in Latin America. Guevara initially trained as a doctor but became politically radicalized during his travels through South America, witnessing the poverty and inequality that deeply affected him. He joined Fidel Castro's revolutionary movement and played a central role in the overthrow of Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista in 1959. After the revolution, Guevara held various positions in the Cuban government, including as Minister of Industry, where he aimed to transform the country's economic and social systems. Guevara's revolutionary fervor extended beyond Cuba, as he sought to export the socialist revolution to other parts of Latin America and the world. He was involved in guerrilla movements in countries like the Congo and Bolivia. However, his efforts in Bolivia ultimately led to his capture and execution by Bolivian forces, with the support of the CIA. Che Guevara's image, often depicted in a famous photograph by Alberto Korda, has become an enduring symbol of rebellion and anti-imperialism, inspiring countless individuals and movements around the world. Despite controversy surrounding his methods and actions, Guevara remains a polarizing and iconic figure in the history of revolutionary movements.

Confucius (Kong Qiu; 551 – 479 BCE) was a Chinese philosopher, teacher, and political advisor whose thoughts became the cornerstone of East Asian culture and ethics. Born in the state of Lu (today’s Shandong Province), he grew up in relative poverty after his father’s early death but excelled in study and ceremony, eventually serving in minor governmental posts. Dissatisfied with political corruption, he traveled widely through the states of China, offering counsel to rulers and seeking to restore social harmony through ritual propriety (li) and moral cultivation. During his later years, he settled back in Lu, where he gathered a devoted group of disciples and compiled teachings that would later be recorded in the Analects. Emphasizing virtues such as filial piety, benevolence (ren), and righteous conduct, Confucius aimed to create a just society governed by ethical leaders. Though he died without seeing his reforms fully realized, his ideas were adopted by subsequent dynasties and shaped Chinese education, government, and personal conduct for millennia.
