The Chinese character that disappeared because it was too horrifying (Ruliweb, opens in a new window)

Posts appeared saying that the Records of the Grand Historian recorded Empress Lü cutting off the arms, legs, eyes, and ears of Liu Bang's concubine, Lady Qi, and keeping her in a pigsty. On Ruliweb (opens in a new window), many people found it chilling and gaslighting-like that she showed the scene to her son, Emperor Hui, and some said the victim would have preferred to die. On Dogdrip (opens in a new window), many people were shocked, and some doubted the record was exaggerated. On theqoo (opens in a new window), people said Empress Lü died a natural death while only the rest of her family were killed. On Ppomppu (opens in a new window), many people expressed shock and fear at Empress Lü's brutality.
