Zheng Chenggong was a national hero in the late Ming Dynasty. His father, Zheng Zhilong, used to be a pirate and his mother was a Japanese. Zheng Chenggong was bom in Japan in 1624. After the Qing army broke into Fujian Province, Zheng Chenggong's father surrendered to the Qing government. But Zheng Chenggong himself led his army to resist the Qing army in the coastal area of Southeast China, becoming one of the main military forces fighting against the Qing army. However, in Zheng Chenggong's life, the most famous deed was that he drove the Holland colonists away and recovered Taiwan.
