Background
Hao Siwen's mother dreamt that the celestial "Wood Dog of Well" is going to be reincarnated into the human world. She became pregnant shortly after that and gave birth to Hao Siwen. Hao Siwen is nicknamed after the celestial creature because he is believed to be its human incarnation. He excels in martial arts and serves the imperial court later as a general. He is also the sworn brother of Guan Sheng.

“Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.”
