"When Yu is born, how can Liang be born?" is Zhou Yu's famous saying in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

This sentence comes from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and was fabricated by Luo Guanzhong, the author of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in order to promote Zhuge Liang. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a famous literary work that praises Shu, suppresses Wei, and denigrates Wu. Since "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhou Yu's image and historical achievements in the hearts of the world have been greatly reduced, while Zhuge Liang has become a legend close to a god.

However, those who watch the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" carefully will find that after Zhou Yu's death, Zhuge Liang also said something about Zhou Yu:

"People say Zhou Yu is jealous of me. His talents are higher than his own. In fact, he hates that Zhuge Liang's talents cannot be used by Soochow. Otherwise, he would not have asked Zhuge Jin to persuade his younger brother to surrender to Soochow."

This passage is actually true. It can be considered that the author made some amends for Zhou Yu's injustice in this novel. Unfortunately, many viewers subconsciously ignored this content.

Extended information

"If you are born with excellence, how can you be born with excellence"? This is the lament of a hero who should be unparalleled but is not. He laments when his life is in danger and he can no longer compete with each other. . It's very painful, very sad, and I can't even swallow this breath until I die. Many losers who have a tough opponent will sigh like this even if they don't die.

Although this is Luo Guanzhong's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it belongs to the "false" part of seven realities and three fictitiousness. In Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms", Zhou Yu in the official history is not such a rat-bellied and chicken-intestinal figure. In the Battle of Chibi in 208 AD, the commanders of the main formations of both sides were Cao Cao of the Northern Army and Zhou Yu of the Southern Army. Zhou Yu was 33 years old and in his prime, and became the protagonist in Su Dongpo's "The Great River Goes East". And Zhuge Liang, 27 years old at the time, was just an observer stationed in the coalition base camp in Xishu.
