History with Yuie

The greatest true stories you’ve never heard.

Half of human history happened on the other side of the world — and almost none of it made it into your schoolbooks. These are those stories, told the way a friend tells them over dinner: no dates to memorize, no names you’re supposed to already know. Just people, impossible choices, and endings you won’t believe — every one of them real.

How this table works

Told at the table, not in a classroom.

This is not a class

Forget school. I’m not here to teach you anything — I’m here to tell you what happened. Never heard of a single Chinese dynasty? Perfect. Every story starts from zero.

People, not dynasties

Ambition, bad luck, betrayal, second chances. The setting is ancient China; the stories are about being human.

A real bridge

I grew up inside these stories, and now I live in your world. No costume, no act — just a real person carrying stories across.

Reader’s Companion N° 1 — Free

He was traded for five ram skins. Then he ran a superpower.

One of the strangest careers in history: a man sold for the price of five ram skins, who ended up running the strongest country of his time — at seventy.

Here’s the thing: stories like this never traveled west, and it’s not because they’re boring. It’s the names. Too many unfamiliar names and places, and most people quietly give up. So I did that part for you.

The Five Ram-Skins Minister is a short, old-fashioned companion to my upcoming film: who’s who (I keep track, so you don’t have to), the details too strange to fit in the script, and the question the story leaves you with.

It’s free. Tell me where to send it.

The storyteller

Who’s telling these stories?

Me. I’m Yuie — Auntie Yuie, if you like; that’s roughly what my name means. I grew up with these stories on one side of the world, and now I tell them from the other.
