In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, there were corrupt officials everywhere, and the people basically lived in the depths of the water. There was a man who could not afford to marry a wife because his family was too poor, and as a result, his father took the initiative and let his young sister marry his brother. Later, the two gave birth to a child and became a household name. The person who organized the wedding was named Li Dianhua, who was originally an ordinary peasant boy who had studied in a private school for several years in his early years. Because he did not get a meritorious name, he could not enter the official field to realize his ideals and ambitions. He could only carry the medicine basket and treat others as Lang Zhong. Such a way of life, although it can barely survive, but there is no way to save too much savings.
After his son became an adult, Li Dianhua did not have enough funds to let the matchmaker marry his son Zhang Luo. He had to marry his daughter, who was not yet out of the cabinet, to his son, and let the two form a family. As we all know, marriage between close relatives is not only unethical, but also produces deformed children. However, the marriage that Li Dianhua held for his children was not only not opposed by others, but also blessed by many people.
What's going on? In simple terms, his daughter was not a biological child, but an abandoned baby that had been picked up that year. When Li Dianhua found the baby girl, she was seriously ill, looked like she was dying, and could die at any time. As the saying goes, the heart of the healer's parents, Li Dianhua saw the baby girl, immediately moved the heart of compassion, he did not ignore the baby girl, but took her home to take good care of her.
In the process of growing up, this baby girl and Li Dianhua's biological son had a very good relationship. The combination of the two is not half reluctant, which can be said to be a great thing. According to relevant information, after the two got married, they gave birth to a healthy child and named it Li Hongzhang.
After this person grew up, he smoothly entered the imperial court and became a pivotal official. When he was serving in the imperial court, Li Hongzhang did a lot of things that benefited the country and the people, which had a certain positive effect on the development of the whole country. However, he also did some resentful things, such as when the "Maguan Treaty" was signed, Li Hongzhang represented China and agreed to many conditions for losing power and humiliating the country. Overall, Li Hongzhang is a highly controversial figure. Some people say that he is a hero worthy of respect. Others say he was an incompetent man who missed many opportunities.
