As a wealthy businessman who was active in the second half of the 19th century, Hu Xueyan's life experience is also a microcosm of an era. He relied on Wang Youling in the first half of his life, and assisted Zuo Zongtang in the second half of his life. He opened a bank, ran a medicine hall, raised food and grass, helped disaster victims, borrowed foreign money, and scattered family wealth. His life was full of ups and downs and overcoming obstacles. With one hand, he was able to navigate the officialdom and political circles, and with the other hand, he had extensive connections with the gentry and celebrities, from a waiter to a famous Huizhou businessman. Behind this great success were his keen sense of smell, extraordinary courage, and tenacious character. He and Zuo Zongtang became confidants in times of need, assisting Zuo Zongtang in establishing the route of Westernization to save the country, hiring Western craftsmen, attracting foreign investment and equipment, and developing new shipping management. During Zuo Zongtang's Western Expedition in his later years, he raised huge amounts of silver to cover the logistics expenses of the army, and made immortal contributions to the success of the Western Expedition. With the tide of history and opportunities, a commercial empire with banks, silk shops, grain merchants, and medicine halls as its core was established step by step. In the end, he was awarded the second-pin red dome for his achievements in the Western Expedition, which made him famous all over the world and will be remembered by future generations. Looking at the history of China, no merchants can compare. But in his later years, unexpected changes occurred due to the dispute over the Chinese and foreign silk trade, and he was persecuted by treacherous bureaucrats. Eventually, he ended up with all his wealth, fame and fame, and a miserable death. Standing at the end of the historical tunnel and looking back, Hu Xueyan's life experience is the epitome of the rise and fall of merchant houses under the turbulent tide of the times, and has written an important chapter in the history of modern China.
