[Three Kingdoms] The Great River Flows East

Young man, laugh and be wild!

-- Back then, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were both drunk. Yuan Shao asked, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Cao Cao said, "I want to be a general." Yuan Shao said, "Oh, then you can have the Grand General's post. I'll be Grand Commandant." Cao Cao said, "Yuan Benchu, don't you think that's ridiculous? Do you have to one-up me even in our dream jobs?"

-- Back then, Liu Bei pointed at a strangely shaped tree and said, "One day, I'll ride in a carriage as big as this." The people around him laughed. "There he goes being silly again. Only members of the imperial family can ride in a carriage like that!"

-- Back then, Sun Quan stood quietly to one side, until Sun Ce pointed at him and said, "Second Brother, it's up to you."

Later, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao. Later, Liu Bei became an imperial uncle. Later, Sun Quan defended Jiangdong to the bitter end.

And later still, at the end of it all, they returned to the beginning--

The moment Cao Cao stepped into the underworld, he heard Yuan Shao's sinister laugh. "Cao the Traitor, do you still remember your dear Brother Benchu from Daming Lake?"

Liu Bei looked at the young man before him and said with a smile, "Long time no see."

Sun Quan stepped into the current of time flowing backward. Everything he had lost would return, and every mistake had yet to be made.

-- Young man, laugh and be wild!

-- Live through this beautiful youth, then come down to the underworld and settle our scores!
