Synopsis

Over the past two years, the author has focused on writing about the Hongguang reign of the late Ming. The Black Hole: A Chronicle of the Hongguang Reign covers ten topics. This volume focuses on individuals, including the last emperor, Zhu Yousong; Hongguang's chief minister, Shi Kefa; Zuo Maodi, known as the "Su Wu of the Ming"; Zuo Liangyu, whose military mutiny hastened the collapse of the Southern Ming; Ruan Dacheng, regarded as a scourge of Nanjing; a group of disaffected young rebels along the Qinhuai River; the great thinker Huang Zongxi; the young prodigy Xia Wanchun; the legendary storyteller Liu Jingting; and Xu Fang, a quintessential member of the "loyalist remnant" phenomenon. Their identities span emperors, soldiers, literati, students, courtesans, performers, scholars, recluses, and rebels, encompassing many levels of society at the time.

Ah, life is hard. Ever since I was little, my brother, who's two minutes older than me, has bullied me. I just want to fill that void in my heart and find out what it's like to have a brother everyone else envies. Sigh, never mind. I've made it this far by sheer force of will.
