I want to share the movie "The Lost Bladesman". It is a historical war and biopic action film loosely based on the story of Guan Yu crossing five passes and slaying six generals.
Liu Bei lost contact with Guan Yu and his family, including his concubine Qilan, were staying in Cao Cao's base together with Guan Yu. When Guan Yu received news that Liu Bei had taken shelter under Yuan Shao, he negotiated with Cao Cao to release Liu's family. Cao Cao's followers strongly opposed their lord's decision to allow Guan Yu to leave. Guan Yu encountered resistance and had to fight his way through the passes. Guan Yu slew Kong Xiu, Han Fu, Meng Tan, Bian Xi, Wang Zhi and Qin Qi. This part is the famous story that most Guan Yu fans would know.
I wish to highlight a sub plot. It is the part where Cao Cao found out that Guan Yu was secretly in love with Qilan. Cao Cao invited Guan Yu to drink and feast to trick Guan into consuming food spiked with aphrodisiac. Meanwhile Qilan was laid immobilised on Guan Yu's bed. Cao Cao hope that Guan Yu would lose control and rape Qilan. Guan Yu started hallucinating but resisted the temptation to dishonour Qilan.
 
While people of previous generation would buy this story, I believe people of this day and age would not. Under those circumstances, do you think Guan Yu would toss virtue aside and take advantage of Qilan? I know many would. What about you GM Chen?
