Dugan's Suffering Childhood Dugenshan, Anrenli (Guankou) Huang Zhuang people. I lost my father when I was a child, and my mother was widowed. Although I am a peasant family, I was very poor since I was a child, but there are no cows and farm tools at home. It is difficult to make a living by farming only by mother. At the age of thirteen or fourteen, Dugan began to work part-time, which provoked the burden of making a living and supporting his family. He often follows adults from the pass to Zhongshan Village, Changtai County to pick charcoal and chop wood to do some heavy work and earn a little money for his family. Once it rains, the mountain roads are muddy and slippery, so it is difficult to move the two mountain roads in either Tiantou Village or Kennei Village. Especially on the mountain in the pit, there is a short mountain road with a narrow path in the middle and steep slopes on both sides, just like the back of a fish. I accidentally slipped, which is unimaginable. Dugan, who is young and weak, often slips and falls, which is very embarrassing. Villagers in the same trade often encounter such bad luck. The adversity of life has honed people, and Dugan people are ambitious. They swear that if they get rich in the future, they will pave stones and build roads on the mountains, so that all climbers can walk on a stone path rain or shine. Making a living in Nanyang is forced by family livelihood. Under the influence of a relative, 16-year-old Dugan got her mother's consent and decided to make a living abroad. The family will save and pawn some property and scrape together a few hundred dollars for travel expenses. Poor Dugan left his mother and hometown with a heart and went to Nanyang with an overseas Chinese from Myanmar. In Yangon, Dugan first worked as a coolie in a rice shop. Dugan works very hard. Busy with housekeeping and receiving customers every day, everything inside and outside the store is in good order. Dugan's works are deeply trusted and appreciated by his master. With the help of Dugan, the business in the store is booming. One day, a good friend of the shopkeeper came to the store, met Dugan and praised him. He told the shopkeeper that you should guide him well. He is not a simple character. He made good use of it and made money. Dugan entered the store for a year, and the store settled in, and the capital income turned over more than half. In the second year, the shopkeeper asked Dugan to run the rice business together. After a few years, the shopkeeper fell ill, and the business in the shop was safely handed over to Dugan, who was diligent in keeping the house, respected morality and trustworthiness, and managed well, winning the trust of customers. There are more customers and more business. Dugan's rice shop is quite famous in Yangon. One rainy season, it rained all the time, and Dugan's rice barn leaked rain. When it was wet, a lot of millet sprouted. If we can't find emergency measures at the moment, we will suffer huge losses. At that time, a terrible plague was prevailing in the local area, with a high mortality rate. Rich people move their families, but most people ask for medical advice. Doctors need cereal buds as a medication guide to effectively distribute drugs. In this way, the grain buds of Dugen Rice Warehouse are of great use, selling well for a while, and the income doubled. With abundant funds, Dugan seized the opportunity to expand his business in a planned way, and the business became more and more prosperous. How much sweat does it take to work hard in the mall for 30 years? Many good things grind, and prosperity comes from labor. Dugan went through all the hardships, and with his own wisdom and strength, he managed the rice industry profitably and eventually became a millionaire. Dugen, who is rich and homesick, lives in Nanyang, cherishes his hometown, is rich and homesick, and hopes to serve. Dugan, who was in his forties, finally returned to his hometown in Huang Zhuang and established a happy family. However, his wife is always ill and cannot be cured. Some people say that his wife's illness needs the momentum of "thousands of people" to be cured. Dugan thought it was his wish to build a road when he was a child. Dugan has a pure heart and thinks about our country. In line with the old adage that "worry about the world first, and enjoy the world later", he gave generously and devoted himself to doing good. The mountain road from Changtai County Pass to Zhongshan Village is paved with stone steps. In particular, the small fish trail on the hill in Kengli specifically told us to lay granite strips as stone steps. Later, it was calculated that there were 120 steps, which were called "102 steps". Dugan has done too many good things. In addition to repairing several stone steps to Changtai Mountain, he also set up a rescue station in Guanyin Pavilion at the intersection of Dakeng Road to help the poor. He donated money to build Zhongshan Bridge (Zhangzhou Ancient Bridge) on Xixi (Longjiang) in Zhangzhou; He donated money to run schools and support education in Tongan County. At the end of Qing Dynasty, the imperial court was corrupt and foreign invasion was serious. Dugan did not abandon his troubled old country, but still shared his worries for the country with a childlike heart. He donated his own money, transported 28 donkeys to the sea and gave them to Beijing as compensation for the "Xin Chou Treaty". Dugan is very filial to his mother. When his mother was old, in order to show his filial piety to her, he specially offered a jade Buddha to Empress Dowager Cixi and asked Empress Dowager Cixi to give two letters to his parents. According to Du Jiapu's records, "Guangxu Dinghai to Wushen charity fee is more than 300,000 yuan". Knowing his charitable deeds, the court named him "Doctor Fengxian" and sent officials to Huang Zhuang Village to present a plaque of "Charity". Although Dugan is rich, he knows how to respect himself. Du's relatives wrote that he was "frugal as ordinary people". Dugan died at the age of 70. He struggled all his life, worked hard for public welfare, devoted himself sincerely, did good deeds all his life, and loved his country and people until his death. Answer supplement

Dugan's Three Bridges in Guankou According to folk records, Dugan invested in the construction of three bridges in Guankou: Lilin Bridge, Xin 'an Bridge and Helan Bridge. The two bridges of Lilin and Xin 'an can no longer meet the needs of modern transportation, and they have long been abandoned and have not remained in people's memory. However, the river bridge at the end of the pond in Donghui Village still leaves some faint traces, occasionally reminding the older generation of Dugen's kindness. In ancient times, Helan Bridge was a stone bridge with two holes and three piers. The bridge deck is paved with four thick stone strips, and the length of the bridge is about18m. At that time, it was the main road from Donghui to Houxi. During the agricultural Dazhai period, the land needs to be leveled, rivers need to be diverted, and stone bridges need to be moved and rebuilt. Now, the completed Helan Bridge still uses the strips of the ancient bridge as the deck, and it is still the only way for Donghui to reach Houxi Lane 2.
