Guān Yǔ
To many Chinese, Guān Yǔ is a familiar figure immortalized as a Taoist diety in many homes and business premises (if you watch HK triad movies, he is worshipped by the cops and criminals alike!). He is often depicted with his Green Dragon Crescent Blade, either standing majestically or riding a horse. Sometimes, the idols are made of him sitting down with a book. From the stories, he is described as someone with a dignified stature, a red face and a long beard. Quite a sight, no? Now, why do I blog about this? Well, because I am a sucker for period dramas and I'm currently watching "三國" although I hardly understand 20% of the dialogue. Episodes 25 through 26 really brought out the cool factor, kinda like how Taiwan pop-star idol shows do it. Much screen time was dedicated to him, where he "crossed five paths and slayed six generals". So invincible! And gotta love how he flicks his beard and wields his blade with a flourish. Hahaha. I think I'm one step from building a fan page. :P.

I copied the rmvb from my colleague. Too bad no English subtitles.
@Vince:
Hahahaha. In games, I usually choose female characters. But I guess that is not a choice in Chinese dynasty warrior games.
@Danny:
