This day, 25 April, in 1644, Emperor Chongzhen, also known as Ming Sizong, hanged himself, bringing about the fall of the Ming Dynasty. On the one hand, he had worked hard to govern, was thrifty, self disciplined and devoid of desire; on the other hand, he was full of suspicion, frequently replacing or executing ministers indiscriminately, causing many to even betray their relatives.

这一天,即1644年4月25日,崇真皇帝,又名明思宗,上吊自杀,导致明朝灭亡。 一方面,他努力执政,节俭,自律,没有欲望;另一方面,他充满了怀疑,经常不分青红皂白地取代或执行部长,导致许多人甚至背叛了他们的亲戚。
