Eunuch Heroes and Villains One notorious eunuch, Liú Jên (1451–1510), acquired some 240,000 gold ingots, two bushels of gems, 4,162 jade belts, 3,000 gold brooches, and two solid-gold suits of armor. Eventually accused of rebellion, he was sentenced to the “death of a thousand cuts”—being slowly sliced to death. Fierce Warrior Sūn Rén During the Han Dynasty, historians record that her cohort of sword-wielding handmaidens made her much-older husband so nervous that whenever Liu Bei entered her bedroom, “he felt a chill in his heart.” Book of Odes The common people had a lot to say about the behavior of the ruling classes. We know this thanks to one of the oldest collections of poetry in the world, the Book of Odes.
