Lone Loyalty in the Vast Sea

When I started writing this book, my original intention was very simple - I wanted Zheng Chenggong to step down from the altar and into the fireworks of the world. Everyone knows that he is a "national hero" and his contribution to the recovery of Taiwan will go down in history. But the word hero is too strong, so heavy that it obscures his appearance as a human being. What I want to write about is a warm Zheng Chenggong: he would kneel down and weep blood when his father was sent to the Qing Dynasty, he would collapse within five seconds when his mother died for the country, he would lose a good game because he underestimated the enemy under the city of Nanjing, and he would cry endlessly while looking towards the mainland before his death. He is of mixed Chinese and Japanese descent, and has been searching for identity between two cultures throughout his life; he is a Confucian scholar, but he has to burn his green clothes and raise swords; he is a filial son, but has to cut off his father's robe; he is a strict father, but he has turned against his son. These contradictions and struggles are the real, three-dimensional and flesh-and-blood Zheng Chenggong. What does this book do to attract readers? I think there are four things: One is the story of "people", not the legend of "gods". I wrote about his confusion as a boy, about his torn between his father's power and Confucian ideals, about his collapse and reflection after the failure of the Northern Expedition, and about his anger and powerlessness in the face of family tragedy in his later years. Heroes can also make mistakes, suffer, and be lonely - this kind of "imperfection" is precisely the most touching perfection. The second is the fireworks behind the flash of swords. In addition to naval battles and sieges and power games, I also deliberately wrote many "small" scenes: the laughter of soldiers playing dice and gambling on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, the first sound of farm tools being buried in the field, and the sound of children reading at school. Big history is made up of countless small days. I hope readers can smell the fireworks of that era. The third is the "why" behind every decision. Why did Zheng Chenggong abandon his father and fight against the Qing Dynasty? Why did you go against all odds to conquer Taiwan? Why are you so furious about Zheng Jing's affair? I am not satisfied with writing "what he did", but also want to write "why he did it" - cut open his heart to show readers, where there is the tearing of loyalty and filial piety, the burning of ideals, the responsibility of a father, and the despair of a monarch. The fourth is the background of compassion. There is no villain in this book. Zheng Zhilong is a scheming hero, but he is also a father who loves his son; Shi Lang and Zheng Chenggong parted ways, each with their own reasons; even the Qing generals and the Dutch governor, I tried my best to write about their positions and dilemmas as "human beings". The cruelty of history is that many times, the right people meet at the wrong time.

This historical biography of the Ming Dynasty just fits my favorite historical themes. It breaks away from the heroic narrative and depicts Zheng Chenggong's complete life from multiple angles. It not only describes his persistence in resisting the Qing Dynasty to defend his homeland and regaining the treasured island, but also objectively shows the shortcomings in the character's character and the ideal gap and family tragedies he encountered successively in his life. The text is thick and restrained, and it fully presents the personal struggles, beliefs and complexity of human nature in the torrent of the times. It is very heavy and has space for thinking. It is a historical reading that suits me very well.

A historical article about the treasure dug up by Tomato! "Cang Hai Gu Zhong" is really amazing! When talking about Zheng Chenggong, we only remember the label of "national hero", but this book made me truly understand the weight behind this name. The author did not write him as a perfect god, but as an ordinary person who endured everything with his lonely and loyal body in the turbulent waves of the Ming and Qing dynasties. There is the scholar's determination to act righteously, the tenacity to resist the Qing Dynasty and defend the country, the trauma of disillusioned ideals, and the belief in family and country that has remained unchanged throughout his life. There is no bloody novel, only the most authentic history and the most touching persistence. The more you read it, the more you become addicted to it, and the more you read it, the more shocking it becomes! If you like historical texts and heroic biographies, this book is definitely a must-read of the year!

"The Lost Hero" tears apart Zheng Chenggong's heroic symbol and restores a true soul struggling in troubled times. He is a mixed-race Confucian scholar of Chinese and Japanese descent, and a lonely minister who broke away from his father; from a scholar who burned his clothes for justice, to the mainstay of the resistance against the Qing Dynasty in the southeast, and to the feat of regaining Taiwan, the book outlines his tenacity and torn between the hatred of his country and his family and the gap between his ideals. What's even more touching is that he is also a mortal with weaknesses. His strong and harsh character, hit by the martyrdom of Emperor Yongli and the scandal of his eldest son, led to family and personal tragedies. This book allows us to see that heroes are not perfect symbols, but ordinary people who fight with faith until the last moment of their lives in the turbulent waves of history. It is worth recommending to friends, the author's writing style is delicate and smooth. Come on, come on, come on!

The novel has an excellent look and feel, the author has solid narrative skills, the plot arrangement is tight and tight, and the story logic is smooth and reasonable. The characterization is delicate and three-dimensional, and both the protagonist and the supporting characters are vivid and there is no facial makeup problem. The plot has ups and downs, the foreshadowing is natural, the foreshadowing is interlocking, the reversal design is unexpected, and there is no unnecessary plot in the whole process. The text is smooth and concise, the scene description has a strong sense of atmosphere, and it is full of immersion. The author's imagination is online, the world view is completely constructed, and the conflict settings are just right, leaving you with endless enjoyment. You can feel that the author carefully conceived each plot, updated it stably, and took great care. The follow-up story is very worth looking forward to. I sincerely recommend this book and will keep reading it!

The author's cultural background is really deep and solid, and he writes the story of Zheng Chenggong in a real and moving way. Whether it is family love, teacher-student relationship, friendship, or even patriotism, Zheng Chenggong's spirit is very rare. Later, teachers and students turned against each other, father and son broke up, and his mother would rather die than surrender. His inner decision prompted him to step out of his own life step by step. Even if he did not succeed in returning to the country, he still did what Zhuge Liang did, devoting himself to death and dying. Also, I really like the author's poems.

"Lonely Loyalty in the Sea" takes the magnificent sea frontier in the late Ming Dynasty as its volume and unfolds a soul-stirring tragedy of loyalty. The novel breaks away from the facial expression narrative and places the protagonist in a desperate situation where his family and country are overturned and he is faced with the dilemma of loyalty and filial piety, and writes about the perseverance and struggle of a lonely minister in troubled times amidst the stormy waves. The author's writing is profound, the naval battle scenes are majestic, and the characters are fleshed out. They have the heroism of an iron horse, the tenderness of love between children, and the lonely courage of doing something knowing that it cannot be done. The book's interpretation of the righteousness of the family and the country and the integrity of the nation is profound and profound. It restores the warmth of human nature in the gaps in history and makes the heroes step down from the altar, making them more authentic and respectable. The whole book uses the sea as the curtain and the heart of loyalty as the pen to describe the perseverance and helplessness in troubled times. The lines are full of desolation and tragedy, which makes one feel sad and moved when reading it. It not only shows the weight of history, but also feels the heat of integrity. It is a masterpiece that combines literature and feelings of family and country.

It is difficult for a lonely loyal person to survive across the sea, and a mortal man will eventually die in tragedy. "The Lost Hero" breaks away from the grand narrative of traditional heroic biographies and brings Zheng Chenggong back from the altar to the human world. The most moving thing in the book is not the heroic feat of regaining Taiwan, but how the scholar who burned his green clothes to raise a banner of justice became tragic in the torn between ideal and reality. The embarrassing identity of a Chinese-Japanese mixed race, the determination to break up with Jiangqing's father, and the disillusionment of the failed Northern Expedition to Nanjing, peel off the loneliness and struggle under the aura of "the national surname". The author does not shy away from the shadow of the hero - the harshness of his later years and family tragedy just prove that mortals cannot bear the weight of the great changes of the times. This is not a simple song of victory, but a hidden gem about faith, sacrifice and the complexity of human nature. After reading it, I realized that true loneliness and loyalty is the desperate practice of doing something knowing that it cannot be done. Good book, wonderful and beautiful! ! !

This book has a compact plot and is enjoyable to read. The text is simple and delicate, and the characters are vivid and three-dimensional. When reading, follow the characters to experience the joys and sorrows, and understand the warmth and warmth of human nature. There are both daily fireworks and hidden truths about life. Reading it is thought-provoking, can broaden your horizons, and heal your heart. No matter what age you are, you will gain something from reading it carefully and it is worth reading again and again. Very good looking, second time reading, highly recommended!

Looking at the opening chapter, Mr. Tagawa gives birth, and there are strange phenomena in the sky and the earth, indicating that this child is extraordinary, and indeed. Zheng Chenggong, a historical figure that everyone is familiar with, was born. His deeds are known as resisting the Qing Dynasty and regaining Taiwan. Take root in our hearts like God. The author greatly pulled Zheng Chenggong out of the altar and gave the public a historical figure with flesh and blood. He is no longer a god-like being, he also has seven emotions and six desires, he also has selfishness, he has feelings for his family and country, and he also has unending family ties. The entanglement and contradiction in the dilemma of loyalty and filial piety. Very good article, worth collecting
