Chinese memes range from the usual to multilayered puns within puns to get around censorship. If anything i think their meme game is stronger than the West's and we have currently have a critical meme gap.

Yeah, adversity has bred strength in that case.
Unfortunately, the group "is capable of understanding Chinese memes, willing to talk about it, and finds it novel enough to be worthwhile" is limited.

which one are you referring to, 三國志 or 三國演義
because one of them is a history book (remember it is ancient history so probably half of it were passed down orally thus not very correct anyway), and the other one is entirely fiction story rewritten in Ming dynasty.
it was being rewritten because someone in power wants to modify this to suit their needs. and this happened hundred years before communism the idea even exists

I remember Mao was personally a fan of Cao Cao, but I don't know about Party opinion or any revisionism.

My favorite part of any theatric rendition of the Three Kingdoms historical fiction, are these super-powered generals just batting arrows out of the air... until the one that fatefully kills them is of course dramatically fired off by another super-powered general.

I was going to note that Xi never seems to emote. He never smiles, he never frowns, he is never seen doing anything dynamic.

But I assumed that was more down to a carefully and strictly controlled media image, rather than actual boringness.

No, he was a doctor and a commercial airline pilot.

It was really funny when the semester started, he introduced himself to the students and made all his wild bullshit claims and they believed all of it, acted super impressed. Then after a couple months of hearing him make claims they grew skeptical, and it became a joke that someone would do an impression of him and claim to be an astronaut, or if any student bragged they'd be called principal X.

He eventually went on an international vacation and never returned.

He said would take international flights on vacation a couple times a month, and on every flight there was a medical emergency that involved asking is there a doctor on the plane, which he was able to respond to and save the patient.
