Gao Shuhan was a general on the frontier during the Tang Dynasty. He was well-known in border regions for his bravery and intelligence, establishing a high reputation within the army. Gao Shuhan understood that the safety of the frontier depended on the combat effectiveness of his troops, so he held strict standards for his soldiers. 0

Each time he goes out, crowds gather to watch, marveling at him and considering him a miraculous talent. 0
 
I often walk through the small towns in the border areas, where the people live happily and prosperously. I listen to their stories about life in the borderlands, with most of them revolving around rumors about Gao Shuhan. "General Goshou is our protector!" I am captivated by these tales and filled with curiosity and admiration for General Gao Shuhan's deeds. 0
 
Thus, I decided to seek out Gao Shuhan; I wanted to see if he was as brave as the legends say, and I wanted to ask him how to become a courageous general. I gathered my courage and walked toward the direction where General Gao Shuhan was located, my heart full of anticipation. 0
 
Finally, I arrived at the military camp. The imposing atmosphere here filled me with awe. "Who are you looking for?" asked a guard soldier at the entrance. "I want to see General Gao Shuhan," I replied firmly. "I want to learn from him how to become a brave general." The soldier looked at me with a gaze touched by my determination and decided to help me enter the camp. 0
 
They brought me before General Gao Shuhan, and for the first time, I saw the legendary hero. 0
