General Qin Qiong Sells His Horse
Qin Qiong was a legendary general from the early Tang Dynasty, celebrated as one of China's greatest warriors. His story took a heartbreaking turn when illness struck his family and poverty forced him to sell his beloved war horse — the very companion that had carried him through countless battles.
This wasn't just any horse; it was his partner, his status symbol, his livelihood. The sale represented the ultimate sacrifice of a proud warrior reduced to desperate circumstances.
Chinese audiences know this tale as the epitome of a hero's fall from grace. Qin Qiong eventually recovered his fortune and became a door god in Chinese folklore, but his moment of selling the horse remains a powerful symbol of how even the mightiest can face periods where they must let go of what they hold most dear.
