LIU BEI
Chinese Hero God
Also known as Liu-Pei, Liu-Xuan-De, Xuande
God of Shoes and Heroics
Although a shoemaker and weaver by trade, he was actually a distant relative of Han Dynasty Emperor Liu. In that troubled time of rebellion and civil war, friends in high places were of no avail. Still, he thought, at least everyone needs shoes.
As all hell broke out across the country, with rebels and war all over the place, Liu Bei swore a mighty oath to defend his Emperor. As told in Romance Of The Three Kingdoms, he joined forces with Zhang Fei and Guan Yu and became an one of the Three Peach Orchard Brothers — and an instant hero.
Liu Bei was tall, extremely good-looking, and, thanks to the fortuitous positioning of his eyeballs, blessed with amazing eyesight. (Not only X-ray vision, but Y and Z-vision too.)
But for such a mighty warrior, he was modest and kindly, which made him all the more popular.
