Huang Chao: After My Flowers Bloom, Hundreds of Flowers Will Be Killed

AD 884, Langhu Valley in Mount Tai. Huang Chao, who was seriously injured and dying, leaned under an old pine tree and looked back at his life to a captured Confucian scholar. He is the son of a salt merchant from Shandong. He is extremely talented, but he failed the exam three times because of his humble background. After half a lifetime of humiliation, he dispersed all his wealth, burned his poems and books, and raised the banner of "Towards the Sky". Fighting from Shandong to Lingnan, and from Lingnan back to Guanzhong, an army of 500,000 conquered Tongguan, and he sat on the dragon throne in Hanyuan Hall. But victory is destruction. The nobles were slaughtered but no one was available, and his subordinates were corrupted and eventually defeated. Chang'an was reduced to ashes in the fire, and he took the remaining soldiers back to Mount Tai. The autumn wind blows through the Langhu Valley, and the ground is covered with chrysanthemums. The person who wrote "After I bloom, hundreds of flowers will kill me" eventually withered with the flowers. The fire he lit burned up an old era - and it all started in the autumn when a scholar was shut out. AD 884, Langhu Valley in Mount Tai.
