If this news item is true (not concocted by the Chinese government) then it is pretty amazing. They have found the grave of Cao Cao, the famous general from The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I love his quote about “better to wrong the world.” I modeled the character of Zoma Aranda a bit on him so it is great to get this new information!

Austin, thanks for commenting on this. I also need to post this information on my blog as my novel is based off the basic plot of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms." What is your story about? We fantasy writers and lovers of ancient Chinese literature need to stick together. LOL

Hi Vicki, that's great that you're doing something based off of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms! It's a great literary piece! Out of curiosity what translation do you read? My novel is not based on the plot but rather more for inspiration. Actually I am just as much into Japanese and Korean (very interesting) history.

Hi, Austin. Mostly I've worked with Moss Robert's abridged version as it hits the more emotive parts of the story that I wanted to use.
