    Maybe not in your part of the country mate but in rural Shanxi there is plenty of charitable thoughts.

    And not necessarily just from the well-heeled, some of the most truly virtuous people I saw were date farmers living half-way up the side of a mountain in the lvliang shan range in a cave house.

    Fictional:

    Hercules. He was most definately the man.

    Factual:

    Alexander the Great. Whilst some may not consider him a hero, he was presumed undefeated in personal combat, as well as war. Dying at 32 of either malaria, poison, or some other disease, are among the most common theories. Also most definately the man.
    For whoso comes amongst many shall one day find that no one man is by so far the mightiest of all.

    ok my ultimate factual hero of course is Miyamoto Musashi.

    we all know why. also, undefeated.

    there is something to be said about warriors who live to death undefeated in combat, when they actually make a lifes work of fighting in death matches and wars.

    Hi was probably BI by modern day accounts.
    For lack of a better word.

    Musashi only fought in one battle/war, the rest were personal duels, so, as a "WARRIOR" he is somewhat lacking in that regard.
