Zheng Chenggong is a national hero of China. Why does Japan also call him a national hero?

During Yongjia period in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there were eight surnames in the north, and Zheng was one of them. Zheng Chenggong's family was rooted in Shijing, Nan 'an. By the end of Ming Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Chenggong's father, was a famous leader of Sino-Japanese maritime smuggling trade. Zheng Zhilong * * * has five wives, among which Tian, the second wife, is Japanese (said to be Chinese). At that time, the Japanese authorities attached great importance to Zheng Zhilong, and Matsuura, a vassal of Hirado, also gave him a mansion to live in. Zheng Zhilong often goes back and forth between China and Japan. In the third year of the Apocalypse (1623), Zheng Zhilong married a local woman Tian. In the second year, Zheng Chenggong was born in Kawauchi, Qianlibin, Pinghu Island, the former country of Japan.

Zheng Chenggong is not only a household name in China, but also respected in Japan. From the point of bloodline, Zheng Chenggong is half Japanese and was born in Japan. After he was six years old, he returned to China with his mother Tian. Zheng Chenggong maintained the rule of the Han people and resolutely resisted the Qing Dynasty and regained sight, which was also in line with the Japanese samurai's loyalty to the monarch and patriotism. Japan belongs to the cultural circle of Chinese characters, and the exchanges between China and Japan are relatively close. When the Qing dynasty entered the customs, it was the best in the world. Japan regarded the Qing Dynasty as a barbarian in its bones, and it was a pity that the Han people lost their sovereignty. Therefore, Zheng Chenggong, who worked hard all his life to restore the Han nationality, is naturally highly respected and praised.

During the Shunzhi period, Ao Bai put forward a "five-guard against thieves" policy, and the Qing Dynasty implemented the most severe policy of sea ban. Zheng Chenggong has almost no foothold on land and needs a place as a long-term base. In the 18th year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty (166 1), Zheng succeeded in crossing the Taiwan Province Strait with 35,000 soldiers, and the following year defeated the troops of the Dutch East India Company in Taiwan Province Province, completely driving the Dutch out of Taiwan Province Island. At this point, the islands in Taiwan Province Province occupied by the Dutch for 24 years were recovered. Zheng Chenggong immigrated from the mainland, bringing advanced production technology, and the island of Taiwan Province Province was vigorously developed, with a sharp increase in population. Zheng Chenggong took Taiwan Province as his main camp and stayed in the Qing Dynasty until his death.

Emperor Long gave the Ming Dynasty surname "Zhu" and named him "King Yanping". Zheng Chenggong tried to govern Taiwan Province, although he failed to realize his last wish to restore the Han people. However, after his death, the people of Taiwan Province Province remembered his achievements, and people successively built temples to offer sacrifices, which were handed down from generation to generation. During the Japanese occupation of Taiwan Province Province, the Japanese colonized the island as a slave. Because Zheng Chenggong was born in Japan and is half Japanese, he dare not destroy the ancestral temple dedicated to Zheng Chenggong on the whole island. Moreover, the Japanese also brought the story of Zheng Chenggong back to Japan. After entering the new century, Zheng Chenggong gradually became a well-known historical figure in Japan.

It is worth mentioning that there is also a younger brother, Qi Shimeng, who once stayed in Japan as a representative of the Zheng Group to engage in Sino-Japanese trade. After his mother Tian committed suicide in her hometown in Nan 'an, she was deeply saddened at the Seventh Gate in Japan. "Seven Sha Meng, please go to the Ming Dynasty to help the household department, to avenge and successfully eliminate the Qing Dynasty." He wrote to his brother in China many times, asking him to go back to China to participate in anti-Qing activities, but he couldn't make it for various reasons, but he kept sending people to take revenge.
