When Zhu Yuanzhang was 15 years old, he experienced the death of a loved one and an accident. His father and brother died in an accident one after another, and the family was in the middle of the road. Zhu Yuanzhang realized that he had to leave his hometown to change his fate, so he went to beg for a living and became a beggar. However, he soon realizes that there is no other way but to beg, and he himself does not want to make a living from begging. So, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to change his fate - to become a monk.
For Zhu Yuanzhang, monastic life is a way to get rid of poverty and seek knowledge and enlightenment. During his two years in the monastery, Zhu Yuanzhang was diligent and hardworking, and although he chanted the Buddha every day, he never gave up the idea of changing his fate. He realized that in order to truly make a comeback, he had to leave the monastery and devote himself to troubled times.
Zhu Yuanzhang unexpectedly joined the Red Turban Army and officially began his military career. Because of his bravery and good fighting, he was soon put to good use, starting as a small soldier and gradually rising to the rank of officer. Zhu Yuanzhang achieved this achievement with his ingenuity and courage. He knows that in order to survive in troubled times, he must strive for self-improvement. So, Zhu Yuanzhang returned to his hometown with the soldiers and began to recruit troops and horses to strengthen his strength.
During this period, Zhu Yuanzhang married a local woman, Ma, and the warlord Ma Yilong became Zhu Yuanzhang's brother-in-law. Through this relationship, Zhu Yuanzhang's power grew rapidly.

Li, a widow in her early 30s, lives in a house in this village. Both of her parents were dead, and her husband was killed in the war two years ago. She lives alone in this chaotic world. She didn't leave the house because the estate and the land were ancestral and she couldn't leave.
Zhu Yuanzhang was seriously injured and had to stay at Li's house temporarily. Li Shimin was very wary of this humiliated soldier at first, fearing that he would be involved in an accident. However, as soon as he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's sad face, he couldn't bear to send him away. After hesitating, Li Shimin decided to take in the young man and help him heal.
Zhu Yuanzhang had many dangerous wounds on his body, but Li Shimin carefully treated his wounds and took out some food from the rations to satisfy his hunger. Zhu Yuanzhang was sincerely grateful to Li Shimin for his kindness and help, because if it weren't for him, he would have died a long time ago.
At first, both of them were very cautious, Li Shimin was worried that Zhu Yuanzhang would take advantage of others, and Zhu Yuanzhang suspected that the other party would be greedy for wealth. However, after a long relationship, both realize that the other person is a person of high moral character. Zhu Yuanzhang will never take advantage of people's danger, and Li Shimin has no intention of stealing Zhu Yuanzhang's property.
As time passed, Zhu Yuanzhang's injuries got better and better. The defensiveness between the two fades away, replaced by trust and closeness. Zhu Yuanzhang admired Li Shimin's courage to face the dark life alone, and Li Shimin also admired Zhu Yuanzhang's integrity in the face of adversity.
Eventually, friendship developed into love. One day, they finally fall in love and have a short but sweet time. Living in turbulent times, they crave a real relationship. It was one of the fondest memories of their lives.
The neighbors in the village saw this, but it did not cause any gossip. On the one hand, they understand the widow's loneliness, and on the other hand, they also admire Zhu Yuanzhang's character of not taking advantage of others. What happened to Zhu Yuanzhang and his wife deeply touched the hearts of the villagers.
A month later, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to leave and regain power. Before leaving, he was worried that Lee was pregnant with his child. After careful consideration, Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately left half a comb to express his gratitude. He sincerely instructed Li that if he was really pregnant, he would take good care of himself with this half of the comb. Zhu Yuanzhang promised to do everything for the Li family and the child.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Shimin broke up soon, they both knew that the warmth they gave each other had become a precious memory in their lives. No matter what happens in the future, this sincere friendship will always exist in their hearts.

It wasn't until one day, when the news of the founding of the Ming Dynasty spread around the world, that Li realized that the young man hiding in her house had become the leader of the party.
Li Shimin hugged Zhu Yuanzhang's flesh and blood and decided to go to him. Although Zhu Yuanzhang made a promise to say goodbye for a while, now that Zhu Yuanzhang is the emperor, he may not remember him again. But Li Shimin decided to give it a try, after all, it was their flesh and blood.
Li took the child alone to the bustling capital of Nanjing. When she finally saw the city's palatial palaces, she was anxious. The thought that the child he once loved would become the ruler of this dynasty made the Lee family have mixed feelings.
Li Shimin plucked up his courage, offered half a comb, and asked to see the emperor. Zhu Yuanzhang immediately realized that this was the mark he left for Li Shimin when he left.
Zhu Yuanzhang remembered the promise he made to Li Shimin when he was young. With tears in his eyes, he regretted that his success was inseparable from Li Shimin's help. Now that Li Shimin has fulfilled his promise, he naturally has to fulfill his responsibilities to Li Shimin and his children.

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the construction of a luxurious mansion for the Li family in the open space next to the palace, and equipped her with a resident imperial physician and servants to take care of her and her children and ensure their well-being and happiness.
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang often visited Li's mother and son in person to take care of their lives. Li's mother and son finally live a prosperous life and no longer worry about the future. Li is grateful to Zhu Yuanzhang for remembering his promise and repaying him with his life.
Zhu Yuanzhang also treats Li Shimin's children as his own. He did everything possible to seek a future for his son, and personally named him Zhu Zichen. Zhu Zichen was well-connected in the royal family and later became an outstanding civil servant.
This touching story quickly spread among the people, and Zhu Yuanzhang's noble character was praised for decades. He did not forget his life-saving benefactor, did not forget his promise, repaid his grievances with virtue, and became a model for a generation of Ming Jun.
Zhu Yuanzhang always kept in mind the lesson of humble origin, so he paid special attention to the gratitude of the people. His behavior reminds future generations that no matter when and where, we must not forget our original intention and be grateful to those who have helped us.
