The Great Hero Zheng Chenggong

At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, 19-year-old Zheng Chenggong was still studying in Nanjing. He donated the 200,000 taels of gold loaned by his father Zheng Zhilong in Nanjing to Liu Yuanyuan, a famous prostitute who sold herself to raise money to fight against the Qing Dynasty. Zheng Zhilong ordered his son to return to Fujian. On the way, Zheng Chenggong rescued the Ming Dynasty King Tang who was being chased by his uncle Zheng Zhikui. Zheng Chenggong went to Taiwan to search for his father, and for the first time he had a tit-for-tat confrontation with Kui Yi, the leader of the Dutch who occupied Taiwan. During this period, Zheng Chenggong forged profound friendship with the people of Taiwan. After returning to Fujian, Zheng Zhilong speculated in politics and established the Tang king as emperor in Fujian. The Tang king gave Zheng Chenggong the "national surname" and believed that Zheng Chenggong was the candidate for the great cause of rejuvenation. At this time, Qing troops entered Fujian, and Zheng Chenggong and his father argued several times about peace and war. Zheng Zhilong finally decided to surrender. Zheng Chenggong's persuasion failed and he broke with his father. Zheng Zhilong was put under house arrest after surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, and the king of Ming and Tang Dynasties was captured and killed by Qing soldiers after running away. Zheng Chenggong gained the leadership of the Zheng Jiajun through many difficulties and continued the struggle against the Qing Dynasty. While the Qing soldiers persuaded Zheng Chenggong to surrender, they also launched a surprise attack on Zheng Chenggong's hometown. Zheng Chenggong's mother died as a result, leaving Zheng Chenggong devastated. At this time, the people of Taiwan were in dire straits under the high-pressure rule of the Dutch.
