Description

Today we talk about a Chinese guy who failed like the even worse than SAT test a bunch of times and went insane and thought he was the brother of Jesus and went on to start a rebellion that almost toppled the Chinese Qing dynasty.

For further reading on the subject I highly recommend the book Autumn in the Heavenly Kingdom: China, the West, and the Epic Story of the Taiping Civil War by Stephen R. Platt
