Who was Yao Hong?

Yao Hong, courtesy name Yuanzi, was the last emperor of the Chinese/Qiang state Later Qin. He was the oldest son and heir of Yao Xing, who was already regarded as kind but weak during his father's reign, and after his father's death, with the state already weakened by attacks by the rebel Xia state and with his brothers and cousins repeatedly rebelling, the Jin general Liu Yu took advantage of Yao Hong's weaknesses to conquer Later Qin. After he surrendered, Liu Yu had him delivered to the Jin capital Jiankang and executed.
