Daming Fangcunjian

It was late spring in the thirty-eighth year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty. In Luling County, Ji'an Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, ten-year-old Fang Wen knelt in a dilapidated tile-roofed house with a rough-edged "Three Character Classic" in front of him. His father asked him on the sickbed in the inner room: "Wen'er, do you know why dad named you 'Wen'?" "The writer is the latitude and longitude of heaven and earth. As a father, I don't ask you to be granted a title of marquis or prime minister. I only hope that you can maintain this literary heart and maintain this righteousness in this life." Three days later, my father died. Fang Wen walked out of Luling County with these words. From the county school auditor to the second-class Jinshi, from the seventh-rank county magistrate to the chief minister of the cabinet. He released grain to save the people in Hengshan, thoroughly investigated smuggling cases in the south of the Yangtze River, fought side by side with Qi Jiguang on the southeast coast, and fought a life-and-death game with Yan Song and his son in the court. A secret account, 870,000 taels of black money, and 30,000 hungry souls - he single-handedly moved the darkest iron curtain of the Jiajing Dynasty. The Yan Party was overthrown, reforms were implemented, the treasury was filled, and border defenses were secured. On the day of his success, he took up an official position and returned to his hometown. Under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, he set up a free school to teach farmers' children to read the Three Character Classic. As the sun set, the white-haired old man closed his eyes, and his father's voice from fifty years ago sounded in his ears. In this life, I have kept this literary heart. In this life, I have maintained this righteousness. ——"The Ming Dynasty" is a historical drama about faith and perseverance.
