The former prisoner, Zhu Qizhen, finally returned to his palace. Eight years ago, he left from here and became a hostage and a prisoner. Eight years later, he returned here to continue as the emperor.
The historical records of China are quite miraculous, even the most embarrassing events can be narrated in a grand manner. Mr. Zhu Qizhen was once a captive, hostage, and prisoner, enduring much hardship. However, the historical records describe it as "hunting in the north" and "resting quietly." To describe it in today's terms, one could say he went out to understand public sentiment, was sent down to experience life on the frontier, shared joy with the common people, and coordinated ethnic relations.
