We're all quick to laugh at the emperor of China's fall from power, but no one talks about how successful his reeducation and reintegration into the normal population was (hexbear.net)

I basically read what everyone here is quick to say to laugh at him at having gone from emperor to broomsweep, but apparently he was actually an example of an excellent success at bringing him down to earth with his fellow countrymen. No one here ever mentions this aspect; I only discovered this when I got curious and looked up his wikipedia page.

Well he did have delusions at first about it but afterwards he was just content but kept getting dragged into the matters of heaven and hell. That particular general became a NEET hikkikomori and mooched off him and had the least bit of motivation to go back.
