His name is Chen Yang. Born in troubled times and hidden in the mountains, he was supposed to practice medicine all his life without asking about the court. However, in the fifteenth year of Hongwu's reign, he was forcibly bound to the Forbidden City by an imperial edict.
Empress Ma went, Zhu Yuanzhang went, and later Yongle, Hongxi, Xuande, Zhengtong, Jingtai... Emperors came and went, and the dynasty rose and fell. Everyone in the world is old, but he is not. Everyone in the world forgets, but he never forgets.
He witnessed the glory and ruin of the Ming Dynasty for 276 years, and became the loneliest witness outside of history books. No one remembers his name, no one knows his age. He is a person forgotten by time, and he is also the person who carries the entire history of the Ming Dynasty alone.
