Zhuge Liang in his early years, whose name is Kongming, was born in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. His father, Zhuge Jue, served as the commander of Taishan County, but unfortunately died young.
The young Zhuge Liang and his mother depended on each other and lived in poverty. However, instead of feeling sorry for himself, he tirelessly read and Xi and absorbed knowledge.

Under the recommendation of Xu Shu, Liu Bei personally visited Zhuge Liang three times and sincerely invited him to go out of the mountain to assist. In the end, Zhuge Liang was moved by Liu Bei's sincerity and decided to go out of the mountain to assist Liu Bei and jointly realize the dream of the unification of the world.
The Battle of Chibi was a turning point in Zhuge Liang's political career. In this battle, he joined forces with Zhou Yu against the powerful Cao army. Zhuge Liang relied on his extraordinary wisdom and courage to successfully defeat Cao's army with fire.

After the Battle of Chibi, Zhuge Liang was appointed prime minister of Shu Han. He worked hard to govern the country, develop the economy, and strengthen the military.
Politically, he pursued the policy of "strict science and education, and rewards and punishments must be believed"; Economically, he encouraged agriculture and water conservancy; In military affairs, he paid attention to the art of war and drilled the army.
These measures gradually strengthened the national strength of Shu Han and laid a solid foundation for the later Northern Expedition.
In order to realize the dream of national unification, Zhuge Liang successively carried out five Northern Expeditions. Although he faced many difficulties and challenges, such as the weak strength of the Shu Han and the lack of food and grass, Zhuge Liang still managed to defeat the Wei army many times with amazing perseverance and wisdom.
Although his Northern Expedition failed to achieve the goal of reunification, it fully demonstrated Zhuge Liang's loyalty to the country and his desire for peace.
In his later years, Zhuge Liang still did not stop dedicating himself to the country. He continued to devote himself to the development of agriculture, the improvement of people's livelihood, and the strengthening of national defense.
In addition, he also devoted a lot of effort to the education and cultivation of the younger generations, hoping that they could inherit and carry forward the fine traditions of Shu Han. During his serious illness, Zhuge Liang still cared about national affairs, leaving behind the eternal saying of "do your best, and then die".
Zhuge Liang's wonderful life is undoubtedly a brilliant chapter in Chinese history. With his outstanding wisdom, noble character and selfless dedication, he became a model for future generations to admire.
