A late bloomer in history
Huang Zhong: Although he was famous as a commander in chief in Changsha, it was not until he surrendered to his ancestors that Xiahou was punished in Dingjun Mountain and became famous all over the world.
Mu Rongchui: After decades of humiliation under Fu Jian, he reorganized the Yan family until his hair and beard turned white.
Sima Qian wrote Historical Records in his later years.
Tokugawa Ieyasu: The key to Tokugawa Ieyasu's success during the Japanese Warring States Period was patience. When I was young, the situation of the Warring States period belonged to Nobunobu, in full bloom, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi led the way; It was not until both of them died that Tokugawa Ieyasu was able to display his talents, unified the Japanese Warring States and established the shogunate.
In addition, many Nobel Prize in Literature winners or artists were mostly displaced in their early years, and their works were not known until their later years, and they were sought after or valued. For example, Van Gogh's works were not accepted because of their strange styles in the early years, and it was not until shortly before his suicide that his works became popular. Huang, a master of Chinese painting, became famous in his later years, just like Qi Baishi. In addition, Wu began to write The Journey to the West at the age of 72; Schopenhauer is the same.
As far as the career of football players is concerned, Zidane is recognized as a genius who is a late bloomer.
