Description
Book Introduction
-The psychological strategy that moved the world-
How the Romance of the Three Kingdoms Becomes a Weapon for Life
There is a saying, 'Don't be friends with someone who hasn't read Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and don't fight with someone who has read Romance of the Three Kingdoms more than three times.'
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is the essence of Chinese history and culture, and a core classic that constitutes the education of intellectuals.
This book, based on 『Romance of the Three Kingdoms』 written by Jin Su and 『Romance of the Three Kingdoms』 written by Luo Guanzhong, aims to shed new light on the insights, strategies, and diverse faces of human nature that permeated the ancient era of war.
In particular, we have selected 30 great passages from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, including the words spoken by characters in the face of life-or-death crises, and excellent writings that penetrate human nature in the flow of politics, war, and human relationships, and we will deeply explore the meaning contained in these famous passages.
And through famous scenes from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, such as the Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Red Cliffs, and the Battle of Yiling, we analyze strategies such as deception, alliances, and opportunity capture.
These tactics also offer profound insights into leadership and human relationships today.
We who live today are also each fighting in our own 'Three Kingdoms of Life'.
In a reality where competition and cooperation, success and failure, constantly intersect, we must be decisive like Cao Cao, gather people like Liu Bei, respond strategically like Zhuge Liang, and patient like Sima Yi, grasping the flow of the world and preparing for the future.
This book, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms: A Life Study," is not simply a commentary on the classics; it will serve as a guide to wisdom that will help you reflect on yourself and plan a better tomorrow.

Into the book
“I would rather abandon the people of the world,
“I will not let the people of the world abandon me.”
True religion, I am a person under heaven, I am a person under heaven, I am a person.
Ningyo Abucheonhain, Hyugyocheonhainbua
- Jo Jo -
Modern society demands quick decisions and cool-headed judgment.
But when those decisions are slow and careless, the leader ends up alone.
A leader must be able to make quick decisions and make cool judgments, as well as bear the weight of those decisions.
The above quote appears at a moment when Cao Cao had to make an extreme choice for his own survival, and it also shows his thorough realism and ruthless judgment.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion swept the country, and the power struggle was constant.
Cao Cao had to constantly fight to survive in this chaos, and his beliefs became increasingly harsh.
He had a strong will to protect himself, as it was difficult to find anyone to trust in this world.
One day, Cao Cao passed by the house of his old friend, Lü Boshi, on his way to escape after his failed attempt to assassinate Dong Zhuo.
The woman welcomed him warmly and offered to treat him to a warm meal.
Cao Cao was tired, so he decided to stay the night at his house.
Late one night, while Jojo was lying in bed resting, a faint light came from the kitchen.
I heard a sound.
Cao Cao listened quietly.
“Sharpen your sword.”
“You have to approach quietly.”
“Now is the chance.”
Cao Cao's heart froze for a moment.
The words he heard clearly sounded like a plot to kill him.
He hurriedly picked up a knife and opened the door.
In the cold darkness, Cao Cao's eyes shone sharply.
“Is it a betrayal?”
He swung his sword without a moment's hesitation.
The family and servants inside the house of the female servant fell to Cao Cao's merciless blade.
After finishing everything in one breath, Cao Cao looked at the fallen corpses while catching his breath.
“I will not let the people of the world abandon me.”
True religion, I am a person under heaven, I am a person under heaven, I am a person.
