孙权 (Sun Quan) was a prominent warlord and the founder of the Eastern Wu state during the late Eastern Han dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period in ancient China. He was born in 182 AD and became the leader of his territory after the death of his brother, 孙策 (Sun Ce). Under his rule, Eastern Wu became a significant power, known for its strong navy and strategic location along the Yangtze River. Sun Quan played a crucial role in the famous 赤壁之战 (Battle of Red Cliffs) against the forces of 曹操 (Cao Cao), which helped to establish the balance of power among the Three Kingdoms. He ruled until his death in 252 AD, leaving a legacy as a skilled politician and military leader.
