In the turbulent era of the Republic of China, three people from different backgrounds embarked on completely different life paths because of a chance marriage. One became the leader of the country, one remained in the countryside to continue his poor life, and the other became a craftsman, a blacksmith. This begs the question: how are the destinies of these three people intertwined?
Back in 1891, a boy named Zhu Qisheng was born in a poor village in Dazhi County, Hunan Province. His family was living in a dilapidated mud hut and barely living on a fruit tree. Zhu Qisheng has experienced the pain of poverty since he was a child, but this did not defeat him, but sharpened his will.
When he was 12 years old, in order to reduce the burden on his family, Zhu Qisheng followed his fellow villagers to Tianjiang and began to learn the skills of striking iron and repairing umbrellas. After three years of apprenticeship, Zhu Qisheng became more and more proficient, but according to the rules of the time, he had to do three more unpaid apprenticeships with his master. During this time, he hardly paid anything except for hard work every day, and the hardships of his life can be imagined.
In 1909, a sudden drought struck and made life even more difficult. Once, Zhu Qisheng, who was hungry, secretly ate a little rice while the master was away, but was severely scolded and beaten after being discovered by the master. This scene completely angered Zhu Qisheng, and he decided to leave this torturous place and embark on a journey of survival alone.
The other two protagonists are also struggling in their respective lives. Peng Yousheng, born in a slightly educated poor peasant family, attended a private school for a short time. Unfortunately, his family's poverty forced him to drop out of school. At the age of 15, he left his homeland and traveled farther afield on his own in search of a way out of life. After some tossing and turning, Peng Yousheng finally joined the Hunan New Army and began his military life.
The third brother, although not described too much in the text, we can imagine that his life was just as magnificent. How did the fates of three people, three completely different life trajectories, intersect during the stormy period of the Republic of China? This is a question worth exploring.
Although Zhu Qisheng's life in the army was hard, he gradually grew from a poor blacksmith to an ambitious warrior. Joining the army has turned his worldview and outlook on life upside down. Peng Yousheng's performance in the army was also exceptional, not only did he learn how to become a qualified soldier, but he also showed extraordinary courage and wisdom on the battlefield.
It was then that the story of the third brother, the future president of the country, was even more legendary. From being an ordinary soldier, to gradually entering politics, and finally to a high position in the country's leadership, his every step is full of extraordinary strategy and far-reaching vision. Three people, starting from the same starting point, but because of different choices and opportunities, they have gone to completely different life paths.
Despite their different circumstances and positions, the brotherhood of the sworn union has never been forgotten. At a time when the country and the nation needed it most, they each contributed to the construction and development of the country in their own way. Blacksmith Zhu Qisheng adhered to his duty and used his skillful hands to repair farm tools for the villagers and support the construction of the village; Peng Yousheng became the mainstay of the army step by step in the army; and the brother who embarked on the road of politics rode the horse for the prosperity of the country and the rejuvenation of the nation on a bigger stage.
These three men, their stories are so different, but they are closely connected by that deep brotherhood. The trajectory of their lives is like a magnificent historical picture, which makes future generations sigh. In the context of that turbulent era, how did they maintain their faith, face difficulties, and how did they seize the opportunity to write their own legend?
It turns out that everyone, whether it is a blacksmith, a poor peasant or the president of the country, can shine in his post. This is not just a story of three people, but a legend of faith, courage and responsibility. Although they came from ordinary backgrounds, they all created extraordinary value for themselves and the world with extraordinary perseverance and perseverance.
