“Now that my brother the King of Wei has removed his opponent, the title of heir automatically falls to him. He’s a suspicious man, a grudge-bearer. His accession will be the beginning of the end. He will kill all his brothers to keep his crown.” (75) This is a major cultural difference in this quote because, in America, the leader isn’t chosen by the previous leader, nor is the leadership hereditary. We vote on who our next leader will be we don’t seek a ‘mandate from heaven’. Also, no matter how venomous our politicians might be they don’t kill each other in order to gain the title of the next leader. If they were to kill anyone they would have no chance at attaining the title. Due to killing anyone being considered a terrible crime in the US, there isn’t any need for them to kill off their brothers in order to hold onto the right to the crown.
