Hi everyone, today I want to talk about the iconic theme of Three Kingdoms, the work that reflects on the rise and fall of heroes and kingdoms. What I find most powerful is the image that junctures River, Glowing and Lusty to East, Chuong Giang. The river becomes the symbol of time, carrying away both glory and defeat, no matter how powerful someone else would. Even a great empire can eventually disappear. The poem then trips from the battlefield to grace marvelous fisherman, woodcutter, wine and peaceful nature. Compared with the endless struggle for power, this symbolized feels the most timeless. To me, the biggest message is that success and failure are temporary, while life itself keeps moving forward. After all the battles and ambitions have had failed, perhaps what remains is simply a cup of wine, a final step, and a story behind it.
