Features: This book is one of the series "Four Great Biographies of the 20th Century." It introduces the life and deeds of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The book provides a relatively authentic description of Zhu Yuanzhang's difficult life in his youth. His hometown suffered a disaster, and he contracted an epidemic, leading to the destruction of his family. With no other options, he became a monk and lived an extremely impoverished and humble life. Eventually, he was forced to join the rebellion and embarked on the path of peasant revolution. The book fully acknowledges Zhu Yuanzhang's contributions to overthrowing the brutal rule of the Mongols and the Turkic peoples.
