Fourteen-year-old Xuan Ming, burdened with the blood feud of his parents who died unjustly, embarked on the thorny road to the heart of the empire with a copy of "Da Zhou Lv Shu Ji Yao" and a meager amount of silver. The cold rain in Yunzhou, the drifting in the canal, and the frost on the eaves of Beijing tempered his unyielding will under his thin body. He studied hard under the protection of Mr. Su of the Meng Museum, honed his skills in the accounts of Hanmo Studio, and got acquainted with Meng Chen, a son of an upright family. The road to a poor family was difficult, but he took "a straight heart and a strong bones" as his motto. In the government examination hall, he wrote an heroic essay written with blood and tears, directly pointing out the corruption of officials and the suffering of refugees. It shook the government and the public like a thunderous explosion, and also knocked open the strict door of Wenyuan Pavilion, the center of world literature.
