Famous people with Kong first name

Kong Sizhen

Kong Sizhen (孔四貞; 1641 – after 1681) was a remarkable Chinese military commander and princess during the Qing dynasty. She was the daughter of Kong Youde, a distinguished military commander honored with the title of prince for his service. Kong Sizhen's early life was marked by tragedy, as she was one of the few survivors of an attack that claimed the lives of her family members. In honor of her father's legacy, she was appointed princess and given nominal command over her father's remaining troops in Guangxi. Her marriage to Sun Yanling, who assumed the role of military governor in Guangxi, further elevated her status. Despite societal norms of the time, Kong Sizhen displayed remarkable strength and leadership, ultimately succeeding her husband as the military governor after he joined a rebellion. Her tenure in this unprecedented role lasted until the end of the rebellion, showcasing her unwavering loyalty to the crown. Kong Sizhen's extraordinary story is a testament to her resilience and determination in a challenging historical context.References:Lily Xiao Hong Lee, Clara Lau, A.D.
