Kong Yiji

Environment makes people, and Kong Yiji lives in the transitional period between the old and the new, so his character has two sides. On the one hand, Kong Yiji is kind and simple, on the other hand, he is pedantic and stubborn, which really makes people sad and angry. Kong Yiji's character is undoubtedly a tragic image.

Inflexible

Kong Yiji was an intellectual in the late Qing Dynasty. He thinks everything is inferior, only the doctrine of high school, but he didn't even get into the scholar's exam and lived a poor life. Under the influence of the feudal education system, Kong Yiji has the lofty nature of a scholar. He has no financial resources and is unwilling to work to earn money. He can only cross the poverty line with the scholar's shelf.
