Guan Yu (160-220), a native of Xie Xian, Hedong (now Yuncheng, Shanxi), was a famous soldier in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. When Liu Bei started his army, Guan Yu followed Liu Bei and was loyal and trusted by Liu Bei.

He besieged Xiangfan, escaped from the Forbidden City, beheaded Pound, shocked China, and the Central Plains shook, but Wu Dong attacked Jingzhou, and Guan Yu was defeated and killed.

Guan Yu's character image

Guan Yu's most prominent feature lies in his courage and integrity. In particular, its "righteousness" is at its peak, and it is called "three musts" in the book with the wisdom of Kong Ming and the rape of Cao Cao.

Resolute and brave is one of Guan Yu's remarkable personality characteristics. In the novel, a series of vivid plots, such as beheading Hua Xiong, stabbing Yan Liang to death, killing Wen Chou, beating six generals through five customs, beating gongs and drums to behead Cai Yang, and going to the meeting with a single knife to scrape bones and cure poison, depict his great power.

Solemnity and arrogance are also a prominent aspect of Guan Yu's character. Guan Yu is strict with himself and will never tolerate any evil deeds and treachery.
