Han Xin grovelling
He who would be a general one day
was grovelling under someone’s crotch.
Still, people noticed his broad chest.
When he was installed he wondered
whether the incident had been real or just a dream (HK)
Comp. Ichinomiya # 33
Han Xin (230?–196 BC), then a poor youth, was humiliated by a group of ruffians. He decided to stoop and crawl rather than take the chance of being defeated. Later in life he became a famous general. He was of great service to the emperor Liu Bang, who established the Han dynasty.
