Preface
Recently, an important figure in history has once again become a hot topic of public discussion, he is Peng Yulin, an important minister in the late Qing Dynasty. In history, Peng Yulin is known for his strong image and unique style, and is known as the "Living Yama King".
Peng Yulin's story has left a deep impression on people, and his actions have also triggered countless people to think about his personality and values. In today's society, what do people think of such a "living Hades"?
Can the spirit and values he represents still bring some inspiration to modern society? Next, let's take a deep look at Peng Yulin, a historical figure, and explore its story and value.
Peng Yulin's life experience
Peng Yulin, whose name is Zhongping, was born in Panyu, Guangdong, in the 20th year of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty, and was a famous politician and military general in the late Qing Dynasty. Peng Yulin has been brilliant since he was a child, and he is deeply loved and valued by his parents, and under the influence of his family, he has established the ideals and beliefs of advocating justice and moving forward bravely since he was a child.
Later, Peng Yulin was admitted to Xiucai, began to get in touch with the broader world of knowledge, and also met many like-minded friends. In this process, he has a clearer understanding of the rise and fall of the country and the well-being of the people, and is determined to make his own contribution to the country and the people.
With the passage of time, Peng Yulin was admitted to the Jinshi examination, began to enter the political arena, and showed extraordinary talent and courage in military construction and foreign warfare. He participated in the suppression of the Taiping Rebellion, defended the peace of the country, and also fought against border rebellions many times, and achieved remarkable military achievements.
During the turbulent period of political turmoil in the late Qing Dynasty, Peng Yulin stood out with his brave, resolute and loyal image, and became one of the important decision-makers of the Qing Dynasty at that time, as well as a model and example in the hearts of many officials and gentry. Because he always adhered to the principles of loyalty to the monarch and love the people and governing the country according to law during his tenure, he won the trust of the emperor and won wide social recognition.
The origin of the title of "Living Hades".
Despite his remarkable political and military achievements, Peng Yulin is best known for his unique personality and style. According to historical records, when dealing with lawsuits and governing local governments, Peng Yulin has always been strict with himself, and has never been soft on officials who are corrupt and oppress the people, and even personally presided over the trial and execution.
As for some rich and powerful people who act recklessly, Peng Yulin is even more ruthless, he insists on punishing them according to law, and will never allow them to use their power to go unpunished. Therefore, there was a saying in the society at that time: "Those who have righteousness like Peng Zhongping are no different from those who are born as private parents." It can be seen that in the late Qing Dynasty, Peng Yulin was like a "living Hades", suppressing the children of gentlemen, punishing evil and promoting good.
Interestingly, when dealing with these cases, Peng Yulin often wore a black coat, a hat on his head, and an iron rod in his hand, and everywhere he went, both officials and ordinary people respected him. Even those prisoners who were told that they were going to be interrogated by Peng Yulin were terrified, which shows the great prestige of Peng Yulin.
The contemporary value of the spirit of "Living Hades".
Although nearly two centuries have passed since the late Qing Dynasty, as descendants, we can still draw a lot of valuable spiritual wealth from Peng Yulin. First of all, it is his consistent attitude towards power and the law.
In today's society, we often hear reports about collusion between officials and businessmen, fugitives from outside the law, and other phenomena, and in such a situation, we need to be like Peng Yulin to uphold justice, have the courage to support, and not be afraid of violence. Justice, and kindness don't just need to be so identified with in our hearts
At the same time, we should defend and defend with real actions.
A consistent attitude towards power and the law
In today's society, the law plays a vital role in safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of citizens and standardizing social order, however, judicial fairness, legal concepts and other issues have always plagued us, therefore, we need to be like Peng Yulin, everyone is equal before the law, whether you are rich or poor, you should be treated fairly, at the same time, we also need to start from ourselves, establish a correct concept of the legal system, consciously abide by the law, and be a law-abiding citizen.
Finally, it is he who adheres to the principle of "governing the country according to law." In today's society, we need to not only give full play to our respective strengths, but also release the youthful energy that students in the new era should have with the spirit of civility and modesty, tolerance and generosity, daring to be responsible, forging ahead and being brave in innovation. Therefore, it can be said that the spiritual image of advocating justice, forging ahead bravely, and being good at resolving various contradictions like Peng Yulin is an example that all our students should pursue and pass on.
After understanding the story of Peng Yulin, the "Living Yama King", I believe everyone has a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of him and the spirit he represents.
Whether at that time or in contemporary society, the spiritual image of Peng Yulin advocating justice, forging ahead bravely, and being good at resolving various contradictions is an example that we should pursue and inherit and learn.
I hope that through such an excellent historical and cultural tradition, we can be inspired, so that we can draw precious from it, so that we can better devote ourselves to study and life, and be able to show our own excellent quality and style in the future.
At the same time, I also hope that each of us can be down-to-earth, face life with gratitude, and work hard to realize the dreams we have.
