Hunan Province



Wang Hui (王辉) is the personification of Hunan province, China. He has an older twin brother, named Wang Chu (王楚) who is the personification of Hubei.

Appearance
His age is unknown (probably around 4000), but he is easliy mistaken to be a very small 12 year old because of his size and boyish face.

His most distinctive features are his big, faded golden-coloured eyes that looks like amber. He also has untidy black hair that falls to just above his collar, as well as a hook (half a curl) on the side of his head.

He's often seen wearing T-shirts too big for him. However, in formal situations, he wears a mandarin shirt with short sleeves.

Personality
Childish but not naive, he is persistent in everything he does. He can be rather selfish and rude sometimes, especially over food.

He is kind of a crybaby.

Weapons
Hunan carries a bamboo stick which is his main weapon. It is, according to Chu, :

"...as hard as a Shaolin monk's head..."

Apart from being the ideal weapon, the bamboo stick is a dizi, 笛子or flute too. He often wears it across his back.

He also has a weird habit of hitting people over the head with it when he is stressed or upset.

Background
Shengwu is actually around 4 thousand year old, like all the other provinces. They were mainly involved in civil wars as they were sometimes the representative of smaller kingdoms. He is in the middle. They have at least three names each (old name, modern name, place name). After all, they have lived for a long, long time.

Hui and Chu were both part of the province of Huguang 湖廣until the Qing dynasty.

He has many experiences in fighting and is a master of Wushu.

Name
His old human name (Before the Qing Dynasty fell) is 王笙武 Wang Shengwu.

( 王: same surname as China/ Wang Yao, 笙: an old chinese wind musical made from several reed pipes of different length, 武: martial arts. He is also named after the Wuling Mountains 武陵山脉- a mountain range that pass through Guizhou to Hunan)

His name now is 小辉 Xiao Hui or 王辉 Wang Hui. Hui means brightness and brilliance.

Relations with Nations
You won't see him with many Nations because he tends to avoid them. But, because of his jobs, he knows alot of their secrets. Most of the time, he just ignores them and label them 'immature' even though he looks younger.

Japan
Japan, however, is a special case. Hui hates him so much he will try his best to make life hard for Japan. This is because of WWII.

Jobs
Hungary sometimes pay him with stream buns for doing certain jobs. You know, the ones that involves a camera.

He also delivers newspapers from time to time.

Pets
He has a small panda cub that never grows. Noone except ShengWu knows its name and gender. It usually walks beside him. A reminder of the past when pandas used to live on his piece of land.
