Legacy
There is a Chinese proverb that translates to "Shu has no more famous commanders, Liao Hua takes the lead of the vanguard". It speaks of the twilight years of the state of Shu, when all the prominent figures had died, leaving Liao Hua as Shu's most prestigious general. The proverb is used to portray when someone who is seemingly unfit for a job is forced, yet willing to face what seems to be insurmountable odds against them.
