My grandfather's grandfather's name is Chen Rong, and I heard my grandfather say that my ancestors were the last batch of talents in the Qing government. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info has been studying hard for ten years, and it is not known to the world for becoming famous once, but the dream in the heart of every reader can be said to have ended with the end of the Qing Dynasty.

The Qing government was overthrown, and the last hope of the ancestors was shattered. People in their forties, in modern parlance, are stubborn feudalism who die to study.

Chen Rong was depressed for a short time, but his family was not rich, although he was born as a small landlord, he still couldn't withstand the war. There is an old one on the top, and a small one on the bottom. As a last resort, Chen Rong had no choice but to change his career to survive.

After reading the Four Books and Five Classics all his life, his mind was full of Confucian and Mencian thoughts, and he really had to rely on himself to make a living, and Chen Rong understood what it meant to be "useless to be a scholar".

At that time, Western ideas were flooding into the dilapidated China with the imperialist invasion. For an outdated talent like Chen Rong, he can't afford to rob him, he can't shout revolutionary slogans, he can't carry his bag, and he can't afford to lose someone to do the work of a 'lowly person'. I wandered around the streets for a few days, only to go home with my head on my head.

sighing at home all day long, borrowing wine to kill sorrows, not treating me when it is long, and ill-fated in short. In the end, he scolded the Qing government that he respected most in his heart for being corrupt and incompetent, and said that Cixi wanted to emulate Wu Cao, who had that life but no ability.

The final summary is: "Women are misguided by the country."

Life still has to pass, sell some belongings, but it can be maintained, Chen Rong understands that this is not a long-term thing after all. Moreover, his youngest son is still studying, and I heard that he has learned advanced Western thoughts. According to Chen Rong, he would have scolded Chongyang and flattered him a long time ago, and lost the face of his ancestors. What he looks down on the most is Western gadgets, thinking that they are all strange and strange skills, how can they be compared with the thousands of years of Chinese culture.

Therefore, Chen Rong often scolded his youngest son for not learning and not knowing, if he wasn't too doting, he would have been forced to go home early. Now, even the Qing government that he wants to be loyal to has collapsed, and Chen Rong has no face to ask for anything more.

With the change of thinking, Chen Rong actually supported his youngest son's studies, because he couldn't pull his face, so he had no choice but not to speak and silently contribute money.

In fact, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were few scholars, and those who could read and write belonged to high-level people. In the end, Chen Rong had no choice, he helped others write letters to his family, sold calligraphy and paintings on the street, plus the few acres of land left at home, and then dismissed the maids, and his life was barely enough.

Until now, Chen Rong has warned future generations that they must read and write. It's a matter of not being an official, at least no matter when, it's okay to eat with a mouthful.

After a few years like this, Chen Rong also looked down on this world, and it was good luck to be able to settle down in troubled times, and wealth was only sought in danger, he didn't dare. First, he is old and carries a large family; The second is that there is no heart to fight for the world.

In the end, the warlords fought and the city was not so peaceful, and in the end, Chen Rong simply sold all his family property and returned to the countryside. left his youngest son to study outside, in fact, even Chen Rong didn't know what to learn.

Chen Rong's hometown is in Anqing, Hunan, and the area around Xiangxi is famous for being poor. Although the war did not spread here, there were many bandit cottages, and it was not peaceful. Fortunately, Chen Rong knew a few friends when he was young, and he served the Qing government for half his life, and after the Qing government was overthrown, he continued to be an official because of the high local reputation. I heard my grandfather say that there is a county master who is still in Anqing County.

With their Buddha photos, Chen Rong's return to his hometown was also smooth, and he soon settled down.

At that time, young and middle-aged people were dragged to serve as soldiers, in fact, many people did not know who to serve until they died, and they did not know whether they were fighting Chinese or foreign devils. There are too many warlords, as long as you have a gun and pull a few more people, you are a small local warlord. Therefore, the warlords rose up quickly and destroyed quickly, but there were also some capable people who fought from dozens of people and dozens of guns to tens of thousands of troops.

There are many wars, and there are many deaths.

In the upper reaches of the Yuanjiang River in western Hunan Province, the places are barren, and the poor mostly go to the eastern Sichuan or Qiandong areas to make a living as hawkers, collect medicines, or hunt, and those places are mostly lofty mountains and mountains, and the miasma in the mountains is very heavy, falciparum malaria is often prevalent, and the living environment is extremely bad.

Chinese people are very attached to their homeland, and in any case, after death, they must return to their roots and settle in the soil. If you die in a foreign land, you must enter the soil and ancestors. In particular, filial sons and grandsons have to move back to their hometowns, and if relatives and friends around them know, they will also help each other and contribute funds to help.

Transporting corpses back to their hometowns and walking on these hundreds of miles of rugged mountain roads was full of difficulties, and a new profession was born.

The corpse chaser.
