Cai Yong
Cai Yong was a talented person. He was a filial son, besides, he studied composition, math, astrology and music. When he didnt think the lord was right, he would feigned illness to return home to study in seclusion. Known for his literary skills, he also petitioned to have the Five Classics engraved in stone. Being a scholar, I think he shouldnt participate in politics too much. Scholar isnt the rival of professional politician and always brings disaster to himself. Besides, he was a man of loyalty. Dong Zhuo treated him well and hence Cai showed grief on Dongs death. Cais action can make some people nowadays really ashamed. A talented and virtuous person, hence I wrote something about him.
