Had a casual talk with other Steemian of "If you were a great person in the past". There are many great people in the past that can't choose the only one. But she is the first one came into my mind, Lin Huiyin (1904.6.10-1955.4.1). Like her tough, intellectual and romantic but realistic.
Lin Huiyin was a noted 20th-century Chinese architect and writer. She is known to be the first female architect in modern China and her husband the famed "Father of Modern Chinese Architecture" Liang Sicheng.

在跟其他STEEMIAN閒聊時說到如果要當一個歷史人物想要當誰。突然林徽因走進了我的選擇中。喜歡她的知識、冷靜、硬朗,而且有點過於理性的浪漫。可能在藝術或者歷史地位不是很殿堂(其實我只在中學讀過一點,還要是配菜,不知道是不是中文老師喜歡她,特地在唸徐志摩時介紹的),但也夠了。如果不夠古那改天再寫,男性也好,選擇更多呢。如果連同外國,寫不完。
Other choice:Agatha Christie, Claude Monet, Marie Curie, Sherlock Holmes, Santa Claus......
