In the long river of history, many figures have left profound impressions in unique ways. Among them, the five celebrities who pretended to be crazy and foolish are particularly noteworthy. Among them, four people successfully changed their fate through this method, while only one person was ridiculed for thousands of years.

First, let's look at the four successful figures. They are Sima Yi, Liu Bang, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei. These four figures have a common characteristic, that is, they pretended to be crazy and foolish at critical moments to confuse their opponents and ultimately achieved success.

Sima Yi was a famous politician and military strategist during the Three Kingdoms period. When faced with Cao Cao's suspicions, he pretended to be panicked, with trembling hands and unable to lift a sword, successfully eliminating Cao Cao's doubts and eventually becoming the actual ruler of the Wei Kingdom.

Liu Bang was the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty. When faced with the strong pressure of Xiang Yu, he pretended to be incompetent, allowing Xiang Yu to relax his guard and ultimately seizing the opportunity to defeat him and establish the Great Han Empire.

Both Cao Cao and Liu Bei were experts at pretending to be crazy and foolish. Cao Cao, when faced with Dong Zhuo, pretended to be drunk, successfully avoiding a disaster. While Liu Bei, when faced with Lu Bu, pretended to be cowardly, allowing Lu Bu to relax his guard and ultimately achieving a victory from defeat.

However, there is one figure who has been ridiculed for thousands of years because of his pretense of craziness and foolishness. He is the Jiajing Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. During his reign, he was known as a "madman" because he neglected political affairs and only cared about his own pleasures. His behavior did not bring him any benefits but instead made him a laughingstock in history.

Overall, the strategy of pretending to be crazy and foolish has indeed had successful cases in history, but it requires extraordinary wisdom and courage. Moreover, this strategy does not always succeed. Without sufficient wisdom and courage, one will only end up being ridiculed by others.
