My Idols (關公 and 岳飛)

I seldom have an idol in my mind, except 關公 before visiting 岳飛's grave.

Why I adore 關公? I can not specify the actual reasons, just a kind of feeling for respecting him. The only reason I can find is that I am fascinated with his personal loyalty. His story happened in Chinese 三國時代. He gave his loyalty to his sworn brother, 劉備 even his life. How great was he?


When I visited 岳飛's grave last week (080613), spending some time to read his life stories. I realized that he was an extraordinary person in 宋 dynasty. The more history I know, the more respects I have.

關公 and 岳飛 both have the same personality, the sense of justice which is almost disappeared now. Wish more and more rightful persons appear in the coming future.
