Zhu Yuanzhang, a 17-year-old farm boy, lost his family and became a monk to make a living. He swept the floor, burned incense, cooked and washed clothes every day, and was often scolded by the old monk. Because of the famine, Zhu Yuanzhang had to leave the temple and beg for alms everywhere, becoming a wandering monk like a beggar. 25 years later, the 41-year-old Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne and founded the Ming Dynasty. He then ruled China for 30 years, known as the "Hongwu Reign", which profoundly rewrote the direction of history and has an impact to this day. How did Zhu Yuanzhang ascend to the throne step by step from a beggar, and sit on the dragon chair to rule China for 30 years? What happened in Zhu Yuanzhang's life? There have been many different opinions for thousands of years. Some people call him a power beast, and some call him a great leader.
