In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Nan Ming fought against the generals of the Qing army, defended Yangzhou alone, was fearless, and swore allegiance to the death.

At first, he was a general of the Ming Dynasty, but after his death, he tried his best not to submit to the Qing Dynasty. Until the second year of Shunzhi, the Qing army besieged Yangzhou, and Shi Kefa was outnumbered. When the city was destroyed, he saw that the people in the city were brutally slaughtered by the late Jin army, and immediately went forward and shouted: "I am the commander in chief, and everything is handled by one person."

General Hou Jin saw that he was righteous and fearless and surrendered many times. Shi Kefa refused, but the late Jin generals tried to persuade him and had to be put to death. Before he left, he died, sighed and died heroically. Up to now, there is only a well-dressed man living at the foot of Meihualing Mountain in Yangzhou.
