Complete Biography of Zuo Zongtang

As one of the ministers of the Zhongxing Dynasty in the late Qing Dynasty, Zuo Gong was better than Li Hefei in safeguarding the country's territorial integrity and resisting foreign enemies; he was more impartial than Zeng Gong in dealing with corruption among his subordinates. But when it comes to managing personnel, it is precisely because of Zuo Gong's character that he does not have his own personnel line. As a result, there is no help in the discussion and decision-making of many major policies, and good opportunities are missed. A man acts with the ability to bend and stretch. In this regard, Yuan Xiangcheng, the gravedigger of the Qing Dynasty, did quite well.

Zuo Zongtang is really a legendary figure. He was talented and intelligent when he was a child. He ranked first in the boy's examination at the age of 14. He wrote such unforgettable couplets as "I have no money, I worry about the world, I have written thousands of books, and I have friends with the ancients", which is amazing. Later, when he was working, in order to show off his talents, he often quarreled with people over trivial matters. As he was tempered by the officialdom, his temper became smaller and smaller, and his mind became more generous. He wrote: "When you are in poverty, you will not be bullied by others; when you are prosperous, you will not be envied by others."

This is a biography about the famous Qing Dynasty general Zuo Zongtang. Through research on historical materials and related documents, the author restored Zuo Zongtang's life story and contribution to the country.

The author often adds personal opinions! Biography shouldn't be like this~

Through this book, I learned something about Zuo Zongtang. Zuo Zongtang galloped on the battlefield and led his troops to fight for many years, and he always returned victorious. This is not only related to his pre-war planning and deliberation, but also to his thoughts on military management: iron discipline is a hard indicator to ensure combat effectiveness. Only by training hard in peacetime can soldiers be as good as ten on the battlefield; make preparations before the war and have enough food and grass; clear rewards and punishments, and share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers.

Real and effective, great! Very exciting! The writing is vivid and vivid, with outstanding personalities, character traits, psychological dynamics, vivid and realistic, no whitewashed and exaggerated performances, a true and vivid description of a generation of heroes, time, place and events can be clearly recorded, I prefer true and objective narrative novels...!

The reason why writers write history is because it is the bones that are reproduced between documents and flesh and blood. This biography restores the courageous loyalty of veteran Zuo Zongtang to serving the public and benefiting the world. His life is a true portrayal of the turmoil of the late Qing Dynasty. Zuo Zongtang was a military minister. As mentioned in the book, although his official career was full of obstacles, he had many ups and downs. He won the admiration of the people and colleagues for his outspokenness and loyalty. He "has been in my life for a long time" and "I have to cherish this talent for the country." These high praises also reflect his loyalty as a steel backbone.

From the perspective of national justice, no one in the late Qing Dynasty could compare with Zuo Gong's merits. No matter what period, he never gave up his original intention. Without his words, it would have taken some time for Zeng Gong to get over his failure. As for Li Hongzhang and others, although they brought many Western industries to the late Qing Dynasty Revolution, but it cannot replace the impact of focusing on factional struggle on the nation. If Li Hesheng had not been so targeted at the left and had killed Hu Xueyan first, with Hu Xueyan's financial support for Zuo Zongtang, maybe the late Qing Dynasty would not have been so weak, but the death struggle of these factions is not an infinite cycle of scenes and microcosms in Chinese history! Zuo Gong is eternal!

It is the good fortune of the country and the people to have Mr. Zuo in this world.

Reading "The Complete Biography of Zuo Zongtang": Seeing a ray of light in the cracks of the times When I closed the book, the dusk outside the window was spreading into the study. This is the first time I have fully touched Zuo Zongtang's life - from a "farmer in upper Hunan" in the countryside of Hunan to the backbone of the nation carrying a coffin in the Western Expedition. His fate is like a chess piece that has been repeatedly rubbed by the giant hand of the times, but he always breaks through the difficulties with its edges and corners. The book writes that he "had not even half an acre of land and was worried about the world." It was also written that he fought against all odds to establish a shipping administration during the Westernization Movement, and that he "killed several thieves every day" in the northwest desert to regain Xinjiang. What touches me most is not the achievements that have been recorded in history, but the warmth of his "hard spirit": He dared to scold Li Hongzhang for "misleading the common people", and he would squat on the ridge of the field to teach farmers to grow mulberry. He not only insisted on the pragmatism of "Chinese body and Western application", but also wrote in a letter to his son, "Studying should be used by the world." Such a vivid personality makes history no longer a cold timeline, but a bloody, limited but always hot soul. But the more I read, the sadder I feel. He has been fighting against the times all his life - trying to block the powerful ships and artillery of the great powers, and trying to plant the seedlings of reform in the decadent system. However, the disease in the late Qing Dynasty is like an airtight net. No matter how hard he tries, he cannot pull back the toppling building. This kind of lonely courage of "knowing that something is impossible but doing it" makes his light even more dazzling: not all heroes have to stand at the top. Someone who is willing to be the light in the cracks is enough to illuminate a period of history. After closing "The Complete Biography of Zuo Zongtang", I suddenly understood why some people said that he was "the last strong figure in the late Qing Dynasty". This is not a simple biography, but a mirror that reflects the stubbornness of idealists and the sincerity of "Thousands of people will die" in every era. If you also want to touch the temperature of history, you might as well open it and you will meet Zuo Zongtang who will be angry and anxious, but will never bow his head.

It objectively comments on Zuo Zongtang's merits and demerits, highlighting his strong patriotism and his unique dedication to defending the country's territory. I benefited greatly from reading it

The original intention of reading this book was to understand the history of the recovery of Xinjiang. This part of the history is roughly recorded in the article. By understanding Zuo Gong's life, we can also gain a better understanding of the era and characters in which he lived. Thanks to the authors who went to great lengths to compile the books and put their knowledge together in this book. I once again lamented that the history textbook was too thin and I needed to understand it slowly.

The structure is good and the plot is simple.

A famous official in the late Qing Dynasty and the backbone of China. In that era of internal and external difficulties, the people suffered misery and the country was humiliated. Zuo Gong single-handedly held up the sky, devoted himself to the integrity of China's territory, and died. This book is a good interpretation of this period of history, inspiring people and allowing them to contemplate and reverie. The book is concise and easy to understand. This is a good book worth recommending and everyone can read it.

Objectivity, the historical public.

Zuo Zongtang is worthy of being a national hero and will remain famous throughout the ages.

The biographies of famous people are meaningful, well written and quite instructive.

Well, it profoundly portrays the image of a patriotic character.

The book is very good. I love reading it.

Reading this makes me feel patriotic!
