Hua He (219 – c.June 278[1]), courtesy name Yongxian,[2] was an official and historian of the state of Eastern Wu during the late Three Kingdoms period of China. Hua He served mainly under the fourth and last Wu ruler, Sun Hao, but ended up being dismissed from office in 275 because he opposed Sun Hao's radical policies and outrageous behaviour. Hua He then went to live in seclusion as a result of this event.
