Liu Mingzhao (simplified Chinese: 刘明昭; traditional Chinese: 劉明昭; pinyin: Liú Míngzhāo; Wade–Giles: Liu Ming-chao), courtesy name Bocheng (Chinese: 伯承; pinyin: Bóchéng; Wade–Giles: Po-ch'eng), more commonly known as Liu Bocheng (simplified Chinese: 刘伯承; traditional Chinese: 劉伯承; pinyin: Liú Bóchéng; Wade–Giles: Liu Po-ch'eng; December 4, 1892 – October 7, 1986), was a Chinese military commander and a Marshal of the People's Republic of China.
Liu is known as the 'half' of the "Three and A Half" Strategists of China in modern history. (The other three are Lin Biao and Su Yu, commanders of the Chinese Communist Party, and Kuomintang commander Bai Chongxi.) Officially, Liu was recognised as a revolutionary, military strategist, and theoretician and one of the founders of the People's Liberation Army. Liu's nicknames, Chinese Mars , The Kutuzov of China and The One-eyed Dragon, also reflect his character, military achievement, Soviet officer education and the fact that he lost his right eye in battle.
