Li Hongzhang 李鴻章 was Empress Cixi's right hand man for many years.

In the TV serial Towards the Republic, she cried when she heard that he had died.

He set up the Beiyang army and signed many treaties with other countries (for which he is heavily criticised).

Western countries and Japan have a high opinion of him.

Zuo Zongtang 左宗棠 is less well known but it seems that if not for him, Xinjiang may have been lost to the Russians.

The dish General Tso's chicken in the US is apparently named after him.

I think Li did the best he could given the dire position China was in.
