刘禅——蜀汉后主
统治四十年,是三国所有统治者中最长的,并因其中最后一部分而被人铭记。诸葛亮统治到234年;之后国家衰落,263年刘禅不经围城就投降了成都。后来在洛阳被问是否想念蜀时,他说玩得太开心了无法想起。

“Surrendered, moved to the enemy capital, and said he did not miss home”
Ruled forty years, the longest of any Three Kingdoms sovereign, and is remembered for the last of them. Zhuge Liang governed until 234; afterwards the state slid, and in 263 Liu Shan surrendered Chengdu without a siege. Asked in Luoyang whether he thought of Shu, he said he was enjoying himself too much to think of it.
The remark became a proverb for someone with no feeling for home, though a case can be made that a hostage saying anything else would not have lived.
Both of his empresses were daughters of Zhang Fei, married to him in succession; they share the Shu Han silk with his father's Empress Wu.
