This word is a poem by Li Hongzhang to express his ambition. At the age of six, Li Hongzhang entered his family's library-Dihua Bookstore to study. When he embarked on his life journey, it coincided with the profound political crisis faced by the Qing Dynasty, and China society was in the transition period from tradition to modern times and from an independent country to a semi-colony. Influenced by the social environment, the influence of family background and the shackles of feudal traditional thoughts, Li Hongzhang pinned his future on the imperial examination fame in his youth, hoping to climb the official career through the imperial examination one day and squeeze into the ranks of the ruling class. He is young and clever. He followed Xianxue, Hefei celebrities to learn Song and Tongcheng schools, and studied justice and statecraft. When he was young, Li Hongzhang laid a solid learning foundation under the guidance of his father. 1840, a scholar in the examination, was awarded the first place in the annual examination by Zi Yuan School. 1842 Li Hongzhang, who was 20 years old at the time, was slender and had a strong brow. Looking back on the past and looking forward to the future, he has mixed feelings and is poetic, so he has a seven-character poem "Twenty Thoughts". At that time, the author's mental state was high-spirited He believes that a teenager with a weak crown should never lead a "floating life." Life has passed 20 years before you know it. You can't "miss time" and regret it for life. A gentleman should have the ideological ambition of "applying what he has learned", learn from Liu Kun and Zu Ti, and "smell the chicken and dance". With a strong desire to serve the world, this group of poems was widely read at that time as the life declaration of this ambitious man.
