Lü Liuliang

Lü took active part in the anti-Manchu military movement that followed the fall of the Ming in 1644.

[citation needed] After the failure of the Ming loyalist movement, he became a hermit and a physician.

He refused to serve the new dynasty, despite frequent requests, because he argued that upholding the difference between Hua and barbarians was more important than respecting the righteous bond between minister and sovereign.

Lü is also one of the most prominent cases in Chinese history of literary inquisition.

After Lü's death, an official named Zeng Jing was inspired by his anti-Qing writing to attempt to overthrow the Yongzheng Emperor.
