Chen Shou (233 - 297), born in Nanchong, Sichuan, was the author of the Records of Three Kingdoms, a historical account of the Three Kingdoms period of China. He was once an officer from the Shu of Three Kingdoms. His (supposed) father, Chen Shi (as there is no account of his father's name), was also an officer of Shu, and once had his beard shaved off as a penalty by order of Zhuge Liang after a campaign that failed due to a shortsighted strategy of his commander, Ma Su. After the fall of the Shu in 263, he served as an officer under the Jin Dynasty, under which he later wrote the Records of Three Kingdoms.
