After the autumn wood

Having traveled to America in the year 1862, this was the beginning of a dream, the finest of times.
What constitutes a true master of success?
Having some notable descendants hardly counts for anything.
To build an Oil Empire alongside Rockefeller
To place Carnegie on the throne of the steel magnate
To help Ford propel the industrialization of automobiles worldwide
To lead Edison to monopolize the future of the electrical industry
To be an Angel Investor for Morgan's capital
Hear this, applause!

American success master

Traveling from New York to Washington, Zhu Wencong found that he truly was destined for a life on the move, having spent the entire year wandering the South.


He would need to travel abroad to Tsarist Russia next year, Zhu Wencong felt it would be time to retire in America.


Zhu Wencong, accompanying Su Yanqiao, arrived at the Johnsons' residence, which served not only as an office but also as a living space.


The first occupant was welcomed on November 1, 1800, but the infrastructure was so poor at the time that it could only be used for office work.


It wasn't until 1809 that it was officially completed, with the residence outfitted with dedicated furniture that highlighted one's absolute status.


In 1814, England's troops (with Canadian militia) took over the place and set it on fire, turning the white edifice into black ruins.
