[Maximilian Chua-Heng]

What we viewed in today's society as "Old Cow eat tender grass" was an accepted social norm then. (agree!)

Even today, though the society at large had progressed and perhaps more aligned towards giving women an equal standing to man, many wedded couple in China today still see an average age gap of between 2 - 15 years. (agree!)

If we would to believe what the movie or story would want us to believe that Lady Sun accepted Liu Bei as her wedded husband then there can only be 2 reasons:-

a. an act out of compassion to save Liu Bei life in that precarious situation. or;
b. a deep admiration for Liu Bei's chivalry and aspirations. (agree!)

Either way, there is definitely something going on for this man Liu Bei. Either he was a rouge that some would want to believe, or his masculine charisma shone through. history recorded that Liu Bei was handsome and some even alleged that he had a sweet tongue for girls. (cannot disagree!)

To tear each section apart will do no justice to the character. In appreciating the entire episode together with Liu Bei's quest for restoration of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei had it - 江山，美人 under his belt. (agree!)

The milestone he laid towards building of a greater empire cannot negate the make up of these precious pebbles that hold up the milestone. So in entirety, the consistency in outflow of admiration for Liu Bei, both in 世纪 and 口述 cannot be ignored. (agree! 史記 you mean?)

Heng ah I agree all of Subok's points. :o

Peace! :p

 

[elephanto]

you are damn bo ji, Maxi .... :p (joking)...

sigh... and I thought peace would break out in this thread ...

why is Liu Bei hansum? No lah, he has been described 'ear lobes long long', 'arms long long can reach knee' .... so inference: Liu Bei Tua Kee - veri well HUNG !

So Ms Sun Ho, I mean Ms Sun, dun mindmarrying him despite age diff.

Also, Liu Bei high sex drive - so many wives .....
but alas, fuckup genes .... only heir - Ah Dou is a minitoot !

Ear lobes long long, arms long long, look like a girl...these are characteristics of 帝王相 ah! Think Mao Zedong.

No wonder he became Emperor!

Don't say me bo ji leh! You dare to "chop" or not? I bet Argentina to win WC 2010. My last chop liao if I am wrong. :o :o :o

Some hard facts about 三国志.

About Cao Cao
2) He accomplished the most among the 3 kingdoms, his grandfather was a eunuch.

grandson of a eunuch? how does that work??

can, father children oredy, then become eunuch mah !

 

[sleaguepunter]

cao cao father was a adopted son of a eunuch. both benefit as the eunuch now have a "son" to continue the surname while cao cao father can use the eunuch's influence to advance upward in rank in the imperial court.

 

[Ramseth]

I understand that Cao Cao had his own biological and legitimate family tree of nobility. He wasn't given to an eunuch as adopted son, but rather ceremoniously offered by his father in friendship (political reasons of course) to be godson of the eunuch. Eunuchs weren't allowed to start family trees.

When in power, Cao Cao and Cao Pi made no reference to that eunuch as godfather and god-grandfather anymore. Their enemies of course, would continue to crack jokes about that as insults or provocation, or even just for amusement.

once you use it you won't want to lose it!

thanks. this is a more credible explanation. sidetrack abit but it is very interesting how rulers of various early civilisations employ eunuchs to serve as their most trusted aides. I know besides the chinese, egyptians and indians also had them.

From this i deduce that our hunger for power comes from our cocks!

side track a bit, i too think argies will win the WC as long as the shortie remain sane for the duration of the WC.

 

[sleaguepunter]

another emperor who trust his eunuch is Ming Yongle emperor who used cheng ho for the southern seas expeditions.

Diego Maradona now looks like Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei went for wine and Maradona goes for coke (not the soft drink).

i think every person in power is wary of threats and therefore places useless people around him. Just compare Lky's ministers in the 60s~80s (Goh keng swee, raja etc) versus the circus of castrated clowns around him today (Lee hsien loong, Wooden, Lim swee say, Sen han tong etc).

zhang fei is another character in san guo yen yi that was being made to look stupid, knn even the koei rotk game put him as a stupid general that can be easily trick. in actual fact, zhang fei was a good tactical commander, there were a couple battles that he trick his oppenents and captured them alive. Of course there were even folklores that he outsmart cao cao by luck where cao cao misunderstood zhang fei hand signs. But was zhang fei lucky or he really understand what cao cao ask and answer accordlingly? Of course these are just folklores, no way to find out if they were true.

and give zhangfei a bit credit on his look, how can u compare the shortie to the great warrior? zhangfei's wife also not bad looking, xiaohou yuan daugther hor.
