Zhu Shizhen (
Zhu Shizhen was member of the impoverished peasant class. In 1344 there was a great drought in Huaibei, and his entire family died of starvation, save for two of his sons.

His wife, Lady Chen, was posthumously accorded the title Duchess (公夫人).[3]
In 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming dynasty in Nanjing and posthumously honoured Zhu Shizhen as emperor, with the temple name Renzu (仁祖)[4] and the posthumous name Emperor Chun (淳皇帝).
