    Hong Xiuquan's son Hong Tianguifu was captured by the Qing army in order to survive, in his confession, he not only explained the cause of Hong Xiuquan's death, but also some things within the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the process of his personal growth. Hong Tianguifu also expressed his desire to return to the Qing Dynasty and called for long live the Qing Dynasty.

    After the defeat of the Taiping Rebellion, they rebelled internally, and were surrounded and suppressed by the Qing army externally. At this time, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom can be said to be about to be wiped out. And Hong Xiuquan was also seriously ill and on his deathbed, he also passed on the throne of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to Hong Tianguifu, trying to let Hong Tianguifu one day restore the past glory of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

    Hong Tianguifu, who was only 15 years old, was put on the throne and became the "Young Heavenly King". After the fall of Tianjing, Hong Tianguifu took the remaining men and horses of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and escaped the pursuit of the Qing army all the way. Hong Tianguifu fled to Huangshan in Shicheng, Jiangxi, and was captured by the Qing army.

    When he was interrogated in the Yamen Mansion of the Jiangxi Governor, Hong Tianguifu wrote in his confession that his father Hong Xiuquan died of illness and that some things happened after his father's death. By the way, he also mentioned some detailed things within the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, as well as the origin of his name and a detailed growth history. At the same time, he also explained in detail the route of his escape, as well as his life situation after escaping.

    After that, he put the responsibility for everything on his father Hong Xiu, in the delusional hope that by clearing the relationship in this way, the Qing Dynasty would be able to spare his life. He also wrote some limerick poems to praise the Qing Dynasty.

    Hong Tianguifu wrote eight confessions in a frank and lenient manner, hoping that the Qing Dynasty would spare him from death. But he was too naïve, how could the Qing Dynasty allow him to continue to live in this world. After that, Hong Tianguifu was executed by Ling Chi on the street of Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province, and the torture of Ling Chi with thousands of knives can be described as extremely tragic.

    Hong Tianguifu, who was only 16 years old, ended his short, absurd and tragic life. It is precisely because of these handwritten confessions left by Hong Tianguifu that later generations have a conclusive basis for studying the reasons for the failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement.
