At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there was great chaos in the world, and wars were raging. Witnessing the displacement of the people and the precarious state of the country, Gu Yanwu was deeply distressed. He deeply felt that every citizen had a responsibility to protect the country's fate, so he resolutely devoted himself to the anti-Qing cause. He traveled extensively, contacted various forces, and promoted anti-Qing ideas, and personally participated in the battles, contributing all his strength to the independence and liberation of the nation. Even under the Qing rule, he adhered to his ideals and beliefs, interpreting the profound connotation of "everyone has a responsibility" through his actions. He wrote a large number of books, among which "Rizhi Lu" is regarded as a classic work in the history of Chinese academic history, having a far-reaching influence. He always firmly believed that the fate of the country rests in the hands of every citizen, everyone has a responsibility to contribute to the stability and development of the country and society, regardless of their status or position.
