He was a high-ranking court official of the Qing Dynasty, who is better remembered for a famous family dish. But his life, his achievements and his fight against corruption hold many lessons that are as relevant today as they were in the times he lived in
This year marks the 130th anniversary of the death of Ding Baozhen, or Ding Gongbao, a high-ranking court official of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).
People remember him for the arrest and eventual execution of An Dehai, the much patronized eunuch of the Empress Dowager Ci Xi in 1869.
