Those Things About Guan Yu

He has sat on the altar for thousands of years, with a face as heavy as a jujube and eyebrows as silkworms, receiving all the incense in the world. But did you know that before he became the "Guan Sheng Emperor", he was a living person? "Those Things About Guan Yu" takes you through the fog of history, back to that war-torn era, and meets the real Guan Yu - he will go to the end of the world for his loyalty, he will hesitate in career choices, and he will pay the price for his pride and underestimation of the enemy. There is the sworn brotherhood in Taoyuan, as well as the lonely perseverance of riding alone for thousands of miles; there is the peak moment when the seven armies were flooded, and there is also the tragic and desolate defeat of Maicheng. This book draws lessons from history and uses a relaxed and humorous writing style to strip away the cloak of myth and restore the true nature of history. You will see how Guan Yu grew from a fugitive from Hedong to a famous general, and how he was elevated from a flesh and blood body to a cultural symbol. The book contains not only battlefield legends with flashes of swords and shadows, but also thought-provoking analyzes of human nature. This is not only a biography of a famous general, but also a mirror that reflects through the ages. Regarding loyalty and betrayal, glory and loneliness, ideals and reality, all the answers lie in this journey of laughter and tears. Let us step down from the altar together and enter the inner world of a hero. Opening this book, I met a warm and breathing Guan Yu.
