1. Yoda 尤達大師

Yoda is a fictional character from the Star Wars universe, who appears in all of the franchise's films except for Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Frank Oz provided Yoda's voice in each film and lent his skills as a puppeteer in the original trilogy and The Phantom Menace. For the radio dramatizations of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, Yoda was voiced by John Lithgow, while Tom Kane voiced him in the Clone Wars animated series and several video games. Yoda has a number of voiceover artists in the Japanese dub of the franchise, including Ichirō Nagai, Hitoshi Takagi, Minoru Uchida, and Mahito Tsujimura.

Yoda first appears in the saga in The Empire Strikes Back as a Jedi Master, and trains Luke Skywalker in the ways of the Jedi. In the prequel trilogy, he serves as Grand Master of the Jedi Order. Additional fiction in the Expanded Universe fills in more details of his life. (wikipedia)

2. Jack the Ripper 開膛手杰克

Jack the Ripper is the popular name of the unknown killer who terrorized London between August and November of 1888. The name is taken from a letter to the Central News Agency by someone claiming to be the murderer, published at the time of the killings. (He was also called the Whitechapel Murderer, after the city district where he operated.) The exact details of the case are uncertain: five women are generally considered to be definite victims of the Ripper, though there may have been more or less. All were strangled and then had their throats cut, and many were further mutilated. The nickname Jack the Ripper came from the signature on a letter, possibly authentic, sent to a news agency during the rampage. The killings stopped as abruptly as they began, and London police were unable to solve the case or find a firm suspect. The case was closed officially in 1892, but the mysterious anonymity of the killer has kept the case in the public eye ever since.

Many books have been written claiming to solve the crime. Jack the Ripper: The Final Solution, a 1976 book by Stephen Knight, suggested that the murders were meant to silence women who were blackmailing Prince Eddy, a grandson of Queen Victoria. Author Patricia Cornwell's 2002 book Portrait of a Killer claimed that Jack the Ripper was actually Walter Sickert, an Impressionist painter of the era. And the story has been put into films for many times: The Lodger (1927), Jack the Ripper (1959), Murder by Decree (1978), Time After Time (1979), From Hell (2001), etc. (Who2biography)

3. Mein Kampf, by Adolf Hitler 《我的奮斗》

Mein Kampf

(in English My Struggle), Adolf Hitler's only completed book, the first volume of which, written in 1924 in Landsberg prison, was published in 1925. The second volume, written in 1925, was published in 1926. An unabridged edition in one volume appeared in 1930 Mein Kampf is less an autobiography than an emotional and subjective political treatise. The first volume, entitled Die Abrechnung, gives Hitler's views on the world in which he grew up, on the 1914-18 War, and on the collapse of Germany in 1918. It expresses especially his anti-international and anti-Semitic opinions, and his obsessive conception of German living space (Lebensraum). The second volume, entitled Die nationalsozialistische Bewegung, is mainly concerned with the political struggle and the future National Socialist state. It contains, either developed or in embryo, all the terroristic aspects of Hitler's policies when he achieved power, but little attention was paid to it at the time. After 1933 this work, which has justifiably been called the bible of National Socialism, was distributed in enormous quantities; up to 1940 the total of copies reached 9, 000, 000. (answers.com)
