History of the webcomic
Peng Guo began his own webcomic in April 2003, after being inspired by Aido's webcomic, Fallen. By the way, Aido was Peng's old high school art classmate.

History of Three Kingdoms
The fourth successful dynasty, the Han Dynasty (206 BC through 220 AD), had ruled China for almost 400 years. Around and between 180 AD and 220 AD, the empire had been torn apart by being under political conflicts, but three kingdoms emerged out of it; Wei (North) founded by Cao Cao, Shu (West) founded by Liu Bei, and Wu (South) founded by Sun Ce. The era of Three Kingdoms only lasted 60 years. After Wei conquered Shu in 263 AD, Wei became Jin when Sima Clan replaced Cao Clan in 265 AD. Jin unified China after conquested Wu in 280 AD.
The history of Three Kingdoms rests in Sanguo Zhi (Records of Three Kingdoms) the official and authoritative historical record, composed by Chen Shou.
