Comment: << review queue entry 82773 - submitted by 'richwarm' >>
- unexplained apparent contradiction in the def (both 'powerful politician' and 'destitute refugee'!)
- Wu was a state, not a town
- his begging and illness during his flight from Chu is not the most important thing to mention
Diff:
- 伍子胥 伍子胥 [Wu3 Zi3 xu1] /Wu Zixu (-484 BC), powerful politician, famous as destitute refugee begging in the town of Wu/
+ 伍子胥 伍子胥 [[Wu3 Zi3xu1]] /Wu Zixu (-484 BC), Chu-born strategist for Wu. After the King of Chu executed his family, he fled to Wu and masterminded Wu's invasion of Chu (506 BC), destroying its capital in a campaign that doubled as personal vengeance./
