Li Zongwu said Liu Bei was thick-skinned, Cao Cao was black-hearted, and Sun Quan was both thick-skinned and black-hearted. Facing this thick-skinned, black-hearted uncle, Sun Shao, Sun Ce’s only son, feels the pressure. He keeps his head down and hides his talents, but the many people he cares about won’t let him look after only himself. His vision, far ahead of his time, can’t be concealed, and without strength there is no dignity. As his black-hearted uncle closes in at every turn, Sun Shao slams the table and vows to fight him to the end. The east wind blows, the drums of war pound: who’s afraid of a contest in ruthlessness? Watertight compartments and propellers give the already world-leading Han navy wings, letting it rule the seas. The wind will soon be fair for breaking the waves; I’ll hoist my cloud-sailing ship and cross the ocean!
