Zheng Chenggong, formerly known as Fu Songsen, No. 4 Damu, was a famous national hero in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties in China. He was born in 1624 and died in 1662 in Shijing Village, Nan'an County, Fujian. His father, Zheng Zhilong, was the "Jian'anbo" of the Longwu Dynasty of the Southern Ming Dynasty, who organized immigrants to Taiwan and actively developed the island of Taiwan.
In 1645 (the second year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty), Zheng Chenggong, who was only 21 years old, was summoned by Emperor Zhu Weijian of Longwu in Fuzhou. Eight years later, in 1653 (the tenth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty), Emperor Yongli of the Southern Ming Dynasty (Zhu Youlang) named him "King of Yanping County".
Zheng Chenggong's activities were carried out during the period of the alternation of the Ming and Qing dynasties in China and the invasion of the East by Western colonialists. In the autumn of 1646 (the third year of Qing Shun), the Qing army attacked Fujian, and Emperor Longwu was captured. Zheng Chenggong's father, Zheng Zhilong, took control of the military power of the Longwu Imperial Court and led his troops to surrender to the Qing Dynasty under the seduction of the traitor Hong Chengchou. Zheng Chenggong opposed his father's surrender to the Qing Dynasty and led his subordinates to raise troops on Nanwo Island in Guangdong, and then advanced to Gulangyu Island in Xiamen.
Overall, Zheng Chenggong is a figure of great historical significance. In the turbulent historical period of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, he demonstrated firm belief and outstanding leadership ability, and was hailed as a national hero.
