Jin Shengtan
His biography is available in 13 different languages on Wikipedia. Jin Shengtan is the 4,575th most popular writer, the 884th most popular biography from China and the 104th most popular Chinese Writer.
Jin Shengtan is most famous for his innovative literary criticism and annotations of classical Chinese texts, particularly his acclaimed edition of "Water Margin." A surprising lesser-known fact is that he was executed in 1661 for his involvement in anti-Qing rebellion plots, despite his primary focus on scholarship. His lasting legacy lies in shaping modern interpretations of Chinese literature and influencing the canonization of classic works through his analytical methods.
