I am a student of modern Chinese history. According to word-of-mouth analysis by contemporary people, in terms of personal morality, cultivation, and public favorability, Yu Youren was the first, followed by Hu Hanmin, and Zhang Zhizhong was the worst.
Yu Youren is a good old man and a founding father of the Republic of China. He is enthusiastic about national development and charitable. He is very devoted to the education and publishing industry. He also wrote a calligraphy that ranked high in the political arena of the Republic of China. His contribution to society The implications extend far beyond politics.
Hu Hanmin, a founding father of the Republic of China and a close friend of Sun Yat-sen, won Sun Yat-sen's trust, made outstanding contributions, and was the theoretical founder of the Kuomintang. He later became famous for his opposition to Chiang Kai-shek. His life was full of political struggles, and he was a full-time politician.
Zhang Zhizhong is said to have "bad character" by many people. The specific reasons are firstly his poor conduct in his early years, and secondly, as we all know, he is a wallflower and has no integrity.
The Nanjing National Government was the only legal government at that time. There are "good guys" and "bad guys" in any government (if this distinction between good and bad really exists). If you look at it from the perspective of the current legal government, it will certainly lead to such misunderstandings.
