Next line:
While leading the 39th Army Group of the National Revolutionary Army, he planned to defect to the Japanese, but before he could do so he was kidnapped and buried alive by his sworn brother and subordinate Gao Shuxun, who later gained command of Shi's unit.
- Fingers crossed I'll never be involved with any live burials
  
  Being buried alive, piranhas, quicksand, "stop drop and roll", the Bermuda Triangle - all things I feared growing up and thought would be more relevant.
  
  That is its own Wikipedia rabbit hole
- I love that his bro was down for any treason but the IJA.
  
  Before the end of WWII, Japan was not well regarded in Asia, they were warlords and colonists pillaging the mainland whenever they could for centuries.
- I learned it from watching you!
- Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, can't, uh, can't get fooled again.
  
  Fool me one time, shame on you
  Fool me twice, can't put the blame on you
  Fool me three times, fuck the peace sign
  Load the chopper, let it rain on you

Look at that face, he is not sorry
- Of course not...he lived.
  
  China during this era was not a simple time to stay alive if you were politically relevant. You're damn right. Look at his face. Zero regrets.
  
  According to this Lemmy thread, he actually got caught and buried alive by his sworn brother at the end, because 6 betrayals is one thing but 7 is another, I guess.
  (And also, it was the fascist Japanese)
- thr man yes manned (into defection several times) and somehow made it out alive. quite a feat.

You’d think after the third time his reputation would carry. Guess not though, lol
- You think anyone checks references?
  They looked just close enough to go "He's got the experience" and moved on.
- Yeah they should have just checked his LinkedIn page
  
  It’s right here on the guy’s Wikipedia page, you’d think they’d at least Google him

“I promise I changed baby, I’m not that person anymore. What you and you and I have is special”

Reminds me of this gigachad
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcibiades
An athenian general who then defected to Sparta and then defected to Persia(and then kinda went back to Athens). All while fucking everyones wives.
Honestly it is shocking there hasnt been a movie about him.
- I knew that name was familiar!
  
  I always chose the romance options in Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Because as they say, Greeks invented the orgy, the Romans then brought in women.
- Also Lauri Törni
  From Finland to nazi Germany and to USA

What did they expect from a guy called "see you soon".

If he'll cheat with you, he'll cheat on you.

TBF, that was a fighting between warlords period. The people he betrayed were no more loyal than him.
Feng Yuxiang betrayed Wu Peifu, following Zhang Xueliang's advice. Zhang later surrendered to Chiang Kai-Shek himself. So it was basically everyone trying to grab any opportunity.

A toast to the troops! All the troops....both sides!
- All sides!

Chiang Kai-shek the only one with a purple link.

Im all about loyalty

A store clerk: appears to consult me on what to buy
Me: Man, can't you see? I'm just browsing.
Also me: puts X down to take Y, but then puts Y and takes X, repeatedly

And if you ever get close to him? ...... he'll betray you, too.

Shares a room with Talleyrand in the afterlife.

Sounds like a chinese trump
