A capable minister and a traitorous hero, he is appointed as a commentator - "The Sky Route"

You may have met people who don't like the Three Kingdoms, but you have never met anyone who doesn't understand the Three Kingdoms.

"Three Kingdoms" seems to have become a cultural symbol that continues to reverberate throughout Asia and even the world. It seems that there will never be a day of stagnation. And those characters among them, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang, Sun Quan, Zhou Yu... and so on, are not only familiar to everyone, but the debate about their characters and stories has not ended to this day, but has become more and more heated.

The most controversial among them is Cao Cao.

In traditional culture, the image of Cao Cao remains in the hearts of many people as a cunning and cruel person. In recent years, Cao Cao's great talents and heroic spirit have gradually been widely accepted. Which one is the real him?

An anime called "The Sky Route" gives another answer.

As one of the very few, or the only Three Kingdoms-themed animation works with Cao Cao as the protagonist, it is very interesting that "The Sky Route" is a long comic written by the Korean Lee Xueren who is responsible for the plot and the Japanese Wang Xintai. On the surface, it is divorced from the soil of China, and may lack a lot of seriousness in the interpretation of historical facts. But it is precisely because of this that the story can be boldly presented, presenting a completely different Cao Cao, and painting a completely different picture of the Three Kingdoms. Picture scroll.

The Cao Cao in the comics is no longer the King of Wei in history who was "self-respected and ugly". Rather, he is a young man who is light, strong, and determined to innovate. From the beginning of the comic, Cao Cao boldly assassinates power and castrates his power, and then serves as the northern captain of Luoyang to strictly enforce the rule of law and punish the nobles who ignore the country's decrees. A heroic spirit rushes towards him, making people feel respected. This is a comic based on historical and reasonable fiction and bold re-creation. Not only does the work itself not lose its rigor and solemnity, but it is full of charm. Perhaps this is the freshness and freedom that art can bring, making history that was originally heavy and boring become full of vitality.

After that, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the conquest of Dong Zhuo, and Cao Cao's mental journey underwent fundamental changes. The comics depict this story extremely delicately. A hero who was once passionate and determined to serve his country was surrounded by teammates who were selfish, keen on internal fighting, and timid in public battles. However, his desperate efforts had no effect on the entire decadent era. Cao Cao began to change, and he began to give up his innermost ideals, or in other words, in order to survive in troubled times, he turned himself into Shura. Cruelty, bloodthirsty, coldness, the evaluations used on Cao Cao in later generations began to spread on Cao Cao at this time, and the comic interpretation was more vivid and made readers feel grateful.

But the most important point is that the comics do not symbolize or simplify Cao Cao. Cao Cao has changed, but he has never changed. He is a traitor in troubled times, but he is also a heroic hero. In the comics, he cannot be described as simply "good" or "bad" because he is a human being. It is extremely difficult to do this, especially to look at a historical figure that has long been stereotyped in the eyes of the public from a relatively objective and like an ordinary person's perspective. "The Sky Route" did it. In the story, no matter how many things Cao Cao experienced and how many ideals he thought he had given up, his original intention never changed. Maybe this is not the Cao Cao in history, but at least in the comics, this man is worthy of the Praise for "an extraordinary person, a transcendent hero".

Of course, in the later stage of "The Sky Route", due to the sudden death of the script author Mr. Li Xueren, the plot was much inferior, and there were even some relatively low-level errors. However, the white jade was slightly flawed, which still did not hinder the admirability of "The Sky Route" itself. After all, it can tell the history of the Three Kingdoms so clearly and vividly, which brings a new charm to the character of Cao Cao. These alone are enough to make it a masterpiece.
