Zheng Chenggong considered a national hero was a military leader during the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. Born to a Chinese father; Zheng Zilong, a renowned merchant and skilled pirate and to a Japanese mother in Hirado, Nagasaki in Japan, he had much to suffer as a child. He was oppressed by the village children for his Chinese kin and to drive away from the mockery he worked hard at his school work and perfected his martial arts. When his father was offered amnesty and appointed a military leader in the Ming court, the family returned to their ancestral hometown in southeast China.

Zheng was as patriotic towards the Ming Dynasty as was his father and attacked Qing controlled areas with a strong armed force he created for himself. Rejecting all peace offers he still fought on but was finally defeated and was forced to retreat. In 1661 he identified Taiwan as a good military base for long term resistance against the Qing troops and set about to free Taiwan from the clutches of its Dutch rulers. After 9 months of fierce battle the 38 years of Dutch rule finally fell making Zheng the liberator of Taiwan from its colonial rule and established a Chinese kingdom. In commemoration of this noble hero are many statues found in Fujian and Taiwan. One such is the immense statue found at a mountain top in Quanzhou where Zheng Chenggong lives on in all his glory mounting a massive stallion.
