There is a record of a beggar in the Draft History of the Qing Dynasty, and he is also the only beggar recorded in the main history. He also had the title of "richest beggar in the Qing Dynasty". Since ancient times, there are countless beggars on the street, in martial arts novels, the beggar gang is the world's largest gang, most of the beggars are skilled, but in real life, beggars are very sad, often living at the bottom of society.
So who is this beggar, and why can it go down in history? His name Wuxun originally had no name, because his family was too poor and ranked seventh, so he was named Wuqi. The name Wuxun was changed by the Qing court in recognition of his merits. When Wu Qi's father died when he was 7 years old, the family was too poor to open the pot, and Wu Qi, with his mother, went out to beg for a living. A few years later, my mother also left. In order to survive, Wu Qiqi had to go everywhere to work as a helper.
However, his employer bullied him into being illiterate and cheated him of three years' wages by making false accounts, and Wu Qiqi argued that he was beaten. After being beaten, Wu Qiqi returned home without eating or speaking, and he thought bitterly, and WuQi thought that he was being bullied, mainly because he had not read a book. He eventually made an amazing decision: to become a beggar again, and decided to use the proceeds of begging to run schools so that more poor children could read. After setting his goal, the 21-year-old Wu Qiqi began his begging path, running day and night like an ascetic, suffering from blank eyes and ridicule.
Finally, at the age of 48, he saved enough money to run a volunteer school. In the fourteenth year of Qing Guangxu, with the help of local squires and literati, he founded the first righteous school "Chongxian Yishu". In fact, at this time, the martial arts training was quite rich, but he had always eaten leftover vegetables and rotten leaves, lived in a place like a broken temple, and never gave himself the opportunity to enjoy life, and he only worked hard for his dream to establish a righteous school. Later, with the expansion of his influence, he also raised a lot of money, but WuXun did not use it to improve his living standards.
After that, he ran the second yixue and the third yixue, and Wu Qiqi wholeheartedly set up the yixue, in order to avoid the burden of his wife's room, he did not marry his wife and did not leave the family in his life, and Wuxun was such a great feat, his deeds had already caused a sensation in the government and the public, and they all touched the Qing court, which was worried about internal and external troubles, and the Qing court in Shandong named it "Righteous Learning Zheng", and the Guangxu Emperor at that time made an exception to reward Wuxun with a yellow coat representing honor, and asked local officials to build a archway for Wuxun and give a plaque of "Happy Charity and Charity".
Although Wu Xun was only a beggar, what he did was a pioneer in the field of education. When Wu Xun died, he also walked with a smile amid the sound of the schoolchildren reading aloud, and nearby villager officials came to pay their respects, and nearly 10,000 people knelt on both sides of the road, crying and crying, and everyone was grief-stricken. His spirit is worth learning and remembering for future generations.
