I think I will put it this way: I have nothing that I want you to see - and be a victim to your twisted imagination.

In 17th century China, Qing emperors sometimes walked the markets dressed as commoners. One day, the emperor stood at a bookstall, reading quietly. A breeze turned the pages beside him.

A nearby poet saw this and joked:

"The wind can’t read, why turn the pages?"

He was later executed. History did not even record his name.

In Chinese, "wind" shares a character with "Qing", the ruling dynasty.
