# Talk:Gu Jiegang

In the article Gu Jiegang is associated with criticism on the Three Kingdoms.

The lede is not what would be called a lede. The lede is intended to be a summarization.  This lede just immediately goes into the beginning of his life, which should go in the second paragraph. FourLights (talk) 07:00, 20 July 2025 (UTC)
