Is Liu Chan, who roars in the history, really incompetent? Actor Jiang Han

No. Liu Chan may not be an outstanding politician, but he is not incompetent.

There are two reasons:

First of all, Liu Chan is not as useless as the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms says. This romance is fictional, especially when people make fun of Liu Chan with the idiom "I am happy, but I don't want it". On the contrary, what we can see from this story is his wisdom. Imagine that the background of this story is that Liu Chan is under house arrest in the capital of Cao Wei, and it is a temptation for people in Cao Wei to ask him if he wants to go home. It would be great wisdom if Liu Chan showed his attitude like Li Yu, the deceased, and used this kind of playing the fool and fully distracted performance to hide himself in order to save his life.

Second, Liu Chan won't have any problems intellectually, especially in troubled times. If Zhuge Liang finds out that this man is an idiot like in the romance, he can't help him at all. It is very logical to replace him in this way, and Liu Bei, a contemporary hero, will not be confused about the choice of successor. If Liu Chan is useless, he will definitely be replaced by someone with normal intelligence.
