Liu Chao-shiuan

Liu Chao-shiuan fascinates me because he refused to pick just one arena. A chemist by training, he led two universities and then served as Premier of the Republic of China, a leap from the laboratory to the cabinet that few people are equipped to make. The scientist-turned-statesman is an underrated archetype, and Liu strikes me as a quietly formidable example of it, the sort of figure whose competence speaks louder than his publicity ever could.
