Zhang Jian

After the defeat in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the national fortune of the Qing Dynasty turned downward and encountered a major change that had not happened in three thousand years. At this time, Zhang Jian had just won the title of No. 1 Scholar for less than three months. The national humiliation is profound, and there is no change. The decline of the Qing Dynasty forced Zhang Jian, who was over 40 years old, to choose a new way out. He resolutely gave up his status as the No. 1 Scholar and became a businessman at the bottom of the four classes of people. Since then, he has embarked on the road of saving the country through industry. Zhang Jian endured shame and humiliation, smashed himself to pieces, and finally created China's first private textile enterprise-Dasheng Cotton Mill, against the trend. While actively developing the industry, Zhang Jian always paid attention to the fate of the country. However, his "moderate reform" was hit by the court. Disappointed, he became stronger and stronger, fed back education with industry, and established various schools to enlighten the people. Just when Zhang Jian became a leader in the official and business circles, foreign forces that had been eyeing the Chinese market were plotting day and night. Japanese businessmen frantically squeezed Chinese companies and plundered the raw material market. Zhang Jian took a different approach and established a salt reclamation company to expand the scope of business and continuously develop and expand national enterprises, and the modern city of Nantong also quietly rose and attracted worldwide attention. However, Zhang Jian was born in troubled times, and his ambitions were difficult to achieve. (Source: Chinese = Weibo || Translation = MyDramaList) Edit Translation
