When An Lushan Became Rosanna

An Lushan, one of the most notoriously fat men in Chinese history. It might not be wrong to drop the “one of.”

Rosanna, perhaps one of the most famous wives of a gay man in history. She was the first wife of Alexander the Great, who had a famous male lover.

A strange idea, inspired by the fact that both of them were Sogdians and had names that were alike: Rokhshan/Roshanak, meaning “light.”

Anyone who sees this title and clicks on it probably isn't exactly normal, either. Let's just have some fun and let our imaginations run wild!
