Zheng Chenggong, a national hero, defeated the Dutch colonialists who had occupied Taiwan for 38 years in 1662 and reclaimed our sacred territory. Zheng Chenggong (1624–1662) was a famous national hero of China during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Originally named Fushong or Sen, he was known as Dàmù and was from Shijingshu Village, Nan'an County, Fujian. His father, Zheng Zhilong, was the "Marquis Jian'an" of the Southern Ming Longwu Court and had organized immigration to Taiwan and actively developed the island. In 1645 (the second year of the Shunzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty), the 21-year-old Zheng Chenggong was summoned to Fuzhou by the Longwu Emperor Zhu Youjian and was highly appreciated. He was considered a member of the imperial family and granted the imperial surname (Zhu), changing his name to Chenggong, thus earning the title of "Lord of the Imperial Surname" both domestically and internationally. In 1653 (the 10th year of the Shunzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty), the Southern Ming Yongli Emperor (Zhu Youlang) enfeoffed him as the "Dianping Marquis." Zheng Chenggong's activities took place during the transition between the Ming and Qing dynasties in China and the invasion of Western colonialists in the East. In the autumn of 1646 (the third year of the Shunzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty), Qing troops attacked Fujian, and the Longwu Emperor was captured alive. Zheng Chenggong's father, Zheng Zhilong, who held the military power of the Longwu Court, surrendered to the Qing Dynasty after being lured by the traitor Hong Chengchou. Zheng Chenggong opposed his father's surrender to the Qing, leading his forces to first rise up in Nanwo Island, Guangdong, and then advance to Gulangyu Island in Xiamen. In 1650 (the seventh year of the Shunzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty), he occupied the islands of Xiamen and Jinmen. Subsequently, he engaged in continuous battles with Qing troops, gradually recapturing the Zhangzhou and Quanzhou regions of Fujian and controlling the southeastern coastal areas from Zhejiang's Zhoushan to Guangdong's Chaozhou and Huizhou. In the summer of 1659, Zheng Chenggong led over 100,000 naval troops northward, passing through Zhoushan and up the Yangtze River, capturing cities such as Guazhou and Zhenjiang. In July, he besieged Nanjing but was misled by the strong military tactics of the Qing Jiangnan Governor Lang Tingzhao, forcing him to retreat to Xiamen with his troops. The following year, Qing troops launched a three-pronged attack on Xiamen but were repelled by Zheng Chenggong. While persisting in resisting the Qing, Zheng Chenggong also engaged in a long-term struggle against the Dutch colonialists who had occupied Taiwan. The Dutch colonialists had invaded Taiwan in 1624 (the fourth year of the Tianqi reign of the Ming Dynasty) and had cruelly exploited and oppressed the Taiwanese people, constantly harassing the coastal areas of Fujian and Guangdong, stirring immense outrage among the Chinese people. In 1652 (the ninth year of the Shunzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty), a anti-Dutch armed uprising led by Guo Huaiyi (an old subordinate of Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Chenggong's father) broke out in Taiwan. In 1655 (the 12th year of the Shunzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty), to protest the Dutch colonialists' piracy at sea, Zheng Chenggong ordered the prohibition of merchant ships trading with Taiwan, delivering a powerful economic blow to the Dutch colonialists. In April 1661, Zheng Chenggong ordered his eldest son, Zheng Jing, to defend Xiamen, while he personally led 120 warships and over 25,000 soldiers to swear an oath in Lielaowan, Jinmen, and advance eastward to reclaim Taiwan. After fierce naval battles, Zheng's forces sank the main Dutch warship "Hercules" and recaptured "Chijian Tower." In nearly a year of fierce competition, the Dutch forces suffered nearly 2,000 casualties and heavy losses. On February 1, 1662, the Dutch invaders were forced to surrender, and Taiwan, which had been occupied for 38 years, finally returned to the embrace of the motherland. Zheng Chenggong passed away in Taiwan on the eighth day of the fifth lunar month in 1662 due to illness, at the age of 39.
