Lü Bu’s line about worshiping his adoptive father is: Lu Bu has been wandering for half his life, and he only regrets that he has never met his master. If the prince does not abandon him, Bu is willing to worship him as his adopted father.

The story of Lu Bu worshiping Dong Zhuo as his adoptive father

The late Eastern Han Dynasty was an era when the gentry became more powerful and gradually became the dominant class in society. Lu Bu, who was of low origin, had no chance to get ahead. But Lu Bu met a nobleman who changed his life - Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou. Ding Yuan admired Lu Bu's bravery very much and promoted Lu Bu to his chief secretary and became very close to him. Although Lu Bu's civil service seems somewhat inconsistent with his style, it can be said that without Ding Yuan's appreciation and promotion, it would be almost impossible for Lu Bu to get ahead.

However, for Ding Yuan, who had the kindness to meet him, Lu Bu's approach was to "behead the original head Yi Zhuo" and use the benefactor Ding Yuan's head as his "voucher of name" to join Dong Zhuo's group. Maybe Lu Bu also knew that he was indeed "ungrateful and difficult to support" by killing Ding Yuan, and was worried that Dong Zhuo would be suspicious of him. So Lu Bu worshiped Dong Zhuo as his adoptive father (Zhuo was the Cavalry Commander, loved and believed in him very much, and swore that he was his father and son) and became his godson.

Lü Bu’s character evaluation

Lü Bu holds a Fangtian painted halberd, rides a red rabbit horse, and wears a golden crown. He is a brave and capable prince in the late Han Dynasty. He followed Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo in battle, and finally killed Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo. After becoming an independent force, Lu Bu became enemies with Cao Cao, and became friends and foes with Liu Bei, Yuan Shu and other princes. In the end, he was defeated by the coalition forces of Cao Cao and Liu Bei and was defeated.
