This is a story from Three Kingdoms. Zhou Yu, chief commander of Wu, was talented and proficient¹ in strategies and tactics but was narrow-minded and intolerant of others. He discussed with Zhuge Liang plans to conquer Cao Cao while simultaneously² pondering how to murder Zhuge Liang. Zhou Yu had been wounded by a poisonous arrow when he was attacking Nanjun. Zhou's wound burst when he learned that Zhuge Liang had already taken over Nanjun, Jingzhou and Xiangyang. Zhou Yu, with a healing wound, racked（折磨，榨取） his brains for ways to capture Jingzhou. His strategies, however, were all seen through by Zhuge Liang who even sent him a mocking message. Zhou Yu was vexed³ again. "Since You(the Heaven) made me, Zhou Yu, why did You make Zhuge Liang too?" Zhou Yu grudgingly⁴（勉强地） asked before he took his last breath.

Learning of Zhou Yu's demise⁵, Zhuge Liang decided⁶ to go to pay respects. Fearing that Zhuge Liang might be murdered, Liu Bei send Zhao Yun with 500 warriors⁷ to protect him. Before Zhou Yu's coffin⁸, Zhuge Liang personally offered libation（奠酒） , kneeled on the ground, and read his eulogy⁹. Tears of grief gushed¹⁰ forth¹¹ from Zhuge Liang. All the generals from Wu were moved. When Lu Su saw Zhuge Liang was in such grievance¹², he said to himself, “Zhou Liang was narrow-minded and he brought on his own death.”
