Liu Jinu: from Selling Shoes to Founding Emperor

Liu Yu, whose nickname is Jinu, is a poor man whose background is lower than straw sandals, and he has to fight his way through the troubled times where there are many wealthy families. He regained Chang'an and the old capital of the Han Dynasty, but he returned south in panic before he had the hegemony at his fingertips. He usurped the Jin Dynasty and established the Song Dynasty, wearing a yellow robe, but he was awakened every night by the ghosts of the old tribe and the broken jade Buddha. This is a tragic song written for those who succeed and lose. See how Liu Yu paved the imperial road with human blood, and how he ended up in loneliness amid lust for power, suspicion and guilt. The jade Buddha was broken, and the hero shed tears. When he looked back, he saw thousands of miles of mountains and rivers behind him, and it was also a cold night with no one to complain to.
