The period from the 45th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1617) to the 20th year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (1681) was the most intense period of the Little Ice Age in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. According to historical records, during this period, it snowed in Guangdong, Taihu Lake froze, and canals were frozen for hundreds of days. Food harvests failed year after year, and hungry people all over the world began to rise. In such an era when the world was freezing and everyone was hanging upside down, a child who walked out of a frozen village, with his extraordinary courage and exquisite business intelligence, wrote a legend that spanned two dynasties and was extremely wealthy in the gap between ice and fire.
