Guan Yu

In the age of wars, China has evolve into a great country. In the end of Han dynasty, The Romance of Three Kingdom Era, China has fallen into a chaos. Just like an ancient China sayings "Even In The Deepest Prairie, The Movement of a Dragon Cause Ripples", Dragon here means a change of government. In their daily life.

Commoner have no idea what's happen with their leaders, landlord. They only know how to do their job, but several people that have a little knowledge about philosophy and have a courage can nominate themselves as a hero that will bring unification in China once more, named Cao Cao. Lucky for him, standing in a correct place make him became the last faction that standing in that era of chaos, but not for long.

In The other side we learned the ancient noble family that has lost its power. They seek a noble figure that supported by people, The chosen one. They finally found someone, Liu Bei, the unwanted son-in-law of the old mother queen of Shu. But in the end his faction is the first faction that fall apart. -Was heaven toying with his people ?- "No !" Their falling is natural, because they loose their resources, Phang Thong, Zhu Ge Liang, and the next was Guan Yu.

Which heroes tales were the most famous of all in that era ? Most people will answer Guan Yu. What make him so famous ? Most of them said, his capability in a battlefield, his skill, his courage. When we talk about all of stregth we must not forget Lu Bu, he can't be beaten by  Guan Yu and his comrades. Then, what makes his tale famous ? His moral code and his rigidity to maintain it even sometime it give himself a disadvantage. One of the most well known chapter revealing this trait when he was captured by Cao Cao, All of Cao cao gift was accepted but he still wear an old cloth that given by Liu Bei. 

In this era of chaos nowadays, we almost never see a figure like him. His moral code yet his rigidity to maintain it is a rare yet valuable trait nowadays. Most people searched fast money, fast result, and the end corrupted act. Well, I'll leave the next thing to all of you ...Will you admired him only or, make yourself walk into the same path as him, the path of heroes ... ?
