Historical figures of Chen Kunshan

Chen Can (1842- 19 12) was born in Guiyang, Guizhou in the Qing Dynasty. Born in a scholarly family, I was diligent and eager to learn since I was a child. In the eighth year of Tongzhi (AD 1869), he was a juren, and in the third year of Guangxu (AD 1877), he was a scholar. At first, he was in charge of the official department, and later transferred to Yunnan. He served as the magistrate of Chengjiang, Chuxiong and Suining successively, and was later promoted to the posts of Yindong, Yin Nan and Yinxi, and served as the provincial judge and political envoy of Yunnan. During his stay in Yunnan, he cared about the sufferings of the people, built Chengjiang water conservancy, attached importance to the development of grain production, and established government academies at all levels with outstanding achievements. He served as the envoy of the whole survey twice and made contributions to the demarcation between China and Britain and between Yunnan and Myanmar. He is firm and patriotic. In the 25th year of Guangxu reign (A.D. 1899), Chen Ren Yin Nan Doyne, together with Liu Wansheng, commander-in-chief of Xining Town, Gansu Province, was ordered to investigate border affairs from Nanding River to Bangsang in the southern section of the Yunnan-Myanmar border with Sigrid, the British imperial envoy. The British envoy was unreasonable and tried to oppress the people by force and seize the territory of China. Chen Can and Liu Wansheng refused to give an inch of land and went to Ma Meng (now Menglian County, Yunnan Province) to stop prospecting, thus foiling the plot of the British envoy. Today, Mamun has a record of it. In the 28th year of Guangxu (A.D. 1902), Chen Can and the British Ambassador Jue made a second survey of the Yunnan-Myanmar border. Jue Luotun first wanted to occupy villages below Meng 'a and outside Nanha River, and even confused parts of Nanha River with the British border. Later, he bought perjury when investigating the Lahu Dam to which Menglian belongs, and all kinds of tricks were punctured by Chen Can. Jue Luo Zhi refused to give up, and asked China to withdraw its troops from Suoxi, Ganso and Longbang. Chen Can righteously said, kill me with a gun, and I will never agree to withdraw. In order to demarcate the border, Chen Can climbed the cliff and went down to the deep stream, where many ancient people dared not go. He loves his country, protects it and puts his life and death in danger. In the thirty-third year of Guangxu (A.D. 1907), British consuls Liedun and Eastwood drew a map of the northern section of the Yunnan-Myanmar border. Under the pressure of British envoys, China lost a lot of land. At that time, the foreign affairs department of Chen Can, a judge of Yunnan Province, asked not to recognize the demarcation, which saved the lost land by miscalculation and made contributions to defending the territorial integrity of the motherland again. He is the author of five volumes of Yunnan Official Documents. "It is not enough to be satisfied with knowledge" is two volumes, and I participated in the sequel of Yunnan Tongzhi. Later, he was transferred to Gansu as a provincial judge and promoted to minister. Revise one hundred volumes of Gansu Tongzhi. 19/kloc-returned to China in 0/2 and died at home. Seventy years old.
