this is the funniest thing i've ever seen
sixthtone 亮曹 陵操 a bunch of ibuprofen on cao cao's tomb: One of the more visible examples appeared in central Henan province. At the tomb of Cao Cao, a warlord said to suffer from migraines and a central figure in the classic Chinese novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," visitors began leaving ibuprofen. One visitor left four different kinds, telling domestic media it was just in case one didn't work, or the warlord had built up a tolerance. As the gifts began to pile up, museum staff set up a small shelf near the tomb to collect them, along with handwritten letters addressed to the warlord.

This is worth thinking about alongside of hundreds and thousands of Chinese students with Master’s not even being able to secure a job upon graduation. No way out but up.
