Guan Zhong
A statesman of the state of Qi in ancient China (c. 725–645 BC) who served as chancellor to Duke Huan and whose reforms made Qi the leading power of the Spring and Autumn period.
In China's Spring and Autumn period, chef Yi Ya served his own three-year-old son to the duke, who had joked he'd "tasted everything but human flesh." Statesman Guan Zhong warned: "One who kills his own child can abandon his lord." After Guan Zhong died, Yi Ya starved the duke to death.
