Zhuo Yu is sixteen years old, seven feet tall and has a strong body. He has short hair, healthy wheat skin, a knife-like face full of youthful and lively breath, and a pair of dark eyes with cheerful and lively light.

Prisoners of the Cave

In The Allegory of the Cave, Plato describes a group of people who have been chained in a cave all their lives, facing a blank wall. They watch shadows projected on the wall from objects passing in front of a fire behind them, and they give names to these shadows.

The prisoners of the cave, however, who know only this life would rather see him die than hear the truth, and they sentence him to death. This ...
