The events of the Ming Dynasty mainly focus on some events in the three hundred years from 1344 to 1644. It is based on historical data, with time and specific characters as the main line, and adds the brushwork of novels, showing the fate of the 17 th emperor and other princes in the Ming Dynasty, especially the officialdom politics, war and imperial aspirations, which contributed to the political economy at that time.
Before reading this book, I always thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was just a founding emperor from a peasant background. Speaking of his success, I think it's a fluke. What makes such a humble identity stand out in the war? Is his success just an accident, because heaven has eyes and pities his poor life, so he deliberately gave this extraordinary future? But later I learned that he became emperor by no means by accident, but by fate. It all started from his boyhood. ...
Zhu Yuanzhang's boyhood was tragic. Living in a farmer's home, his initial dream was ordinary, but all this was broken by natural and man-made disasters. Once upon a time, he was very simple, and all he prayed for was to live with his parents and have a mouth to eat. But the result disappointed him, so his little heart began to become cold. He knows that no one can save him except himself. The flame of revenge began to burn in his heart, and such pain made him from fragile to strong.
In order to survive, he went to become a monk and went out for alms. What is charity? To put it bluntly, it is begging. So facing the pressure of survival and the dignity of life, he chose to survive. If you can't even survive, where can you get dignity? A long hard life can best temper a person's will. There are many people who will only blame others and muddle along after encountering difficulties; When others have to bow their heads in the face of difficulties, their hearts never give in. They continue to work hard and believe that they will win the final victory. And Zhu Yuanzhang is undoubtedly the latter person.
This is a big change, and many people may never finish it in their lifetime. The key to change lies in their hearts. For many of us, the heart is the most vulnerable place, especially vulnerable to injury. The betrayal of love, the loss of affection and friendship will all be a heavy blow. However, for Zhu Yuanzhang, what is unbearable? He has lost everything, and nothing is more painful than watching his parents die with his own eyes and being reviled and despised by people in order to survive and compete with dogs for food! We have reason to believe that Zhu Yuanzhang turned this most fragile place into the most powerful source of strength on a night of painful thinking.
Even if you have enviable looks, well-read talents and inexhaustible wealth, you can't prove your strength. Because the heart is strong, it is really strong. Indeed, he was born in troubled times and suffered from the death of his parents. If his heart is not strong enough, how can he start from abject poverty, experience countless hardships without background, escape from the control of death, keep moving forward and keep fighting? I never believed that a person could be so powerful, but Zhu Yuanzhang really did it. He is not the best. He has no higher education. He is a lout and plain. But his strength, his self-confidence, his courage, everything tells me that behind success is suffering. Only through painful experiences can we achieve success and extraordinary success.
Zhu Yuanzhang, a legendary figure, used his own experience to show the shortcut to success. You may not be good enough, but you must have a strong heart to face the suffering!
