生子當如孫仲謀
“If one must have a son, let him be like Sun Zhongmou. The sons of Liu Biao are no better than dogs and pigs.”
— Cao Cao曹操
ko아들을 낳으려면 마땅히 손중모(손권) 같아야지. 유표의 아들들은 개돼지나 다름없다.
ja子を生むならば、まさに孫仲謀（孫権）のようでなければ。劉表の息子たちなど犬や豚も同然だ。
The scene behind the words
Cao Cao’s exclamation at Ruxukou, watching the perfect discipline of Sun Quan’s fleet. It contrasts the young man who inherited the Southland at about twenty and stood against him with Liu Biao’s sons, who handed over their province without a fight. The finest praise an enemy ever paid — and the benchmark of Sun Quan’s reputation since.
