A tiny little place call Red Cliff, at approximately center point of the Long River (Yangtze River) of China, has never been a city, a town or a village. It is so small that today historians are still debating about the exact location of the cliff. The Red Cliff has become very famous nowadays, only because there was a battle, in gigantic scale, occurred at the place exact 1800 years ago. On the river, the alliance of two southern warlords, Sun Quan and Liu Bei, defeated the much stronger northern warlord Cao Cao. By the end of the battle, Cao’s might fleet was burned to ashes and his land-based troops were completely crashed. Soon after, the mighty Han Empire collapsed and three kingdoms were established by Cao’s oldest son, Liu Bei and Sun Quan.
