- Cáo Cāo (曹操; 155 – 220 March 15)
Cáo Cāo (曹操; 155 – 220 March 15) was a Chinese military leader, a regional warlord and the penultimate Chancellor of the Eastern Han Dynasty who rose to great power during its final years in ancient China. As one of the central figures of the Three Kingdoms period, he laid the foundations for what was to become the Kingdom of Wei (also known as Cáo Wèi) and was posthumously titled Emperor Wu of Wei (魏武帝)
다른 사람이 나를 배신하는 것 보다 내가 다른 사람을 배신하는 것이 낫다. [寧我負人,毋人負我]
