>>9594928Guy is a fucking madman and legit had a cult backing him up. Basically fed up with all the Chinese social hierarchy and decided to give a middle finger by transforming himself into an ultimate schizo. He basically created so much chaos to a point everyone just wanted to get out of the country (which is why most SEA Chinese came from the southern part of China) as if the natural calamity of the southern part of china isn't bad enough with the flood, draught, and heat. He is practically the Chinese version of Saddam Hussein (was initially helped by the west, then turned against him). The dynasty had to batphone their western allies to fuck him up in Tai'pin Rebellion.
He's also a Hakka, basically the orc of the Chinese and everyone hated them. They live away from population centres, can live in toughest conditions and their dialects are much more "grunt" ish.
