“Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles” is a household story in China recorded by the literary classic Romance of the Three Kingdoms (三国演义). After losing touch with Liu Bei in a battle, Guan Yu was caught by Cao Cao, who treated Guan Yu very well out of appreciation of the former’s talents. But Guan Yu was determined to return to Liu Bei after he got to know the whereabouts of the latter. Then Guan Yu travelled thousands of miles and overcame many hindrances by killing six enemy generals to escort Liu’s wife to reunion with Liu.
