Hou Jian - Campaigns and Death

Campaigns and Death

Hou Jian is placed in charge of making flags, banners and clothing for Liangshan after the Grand Assembly. He follows the heroes on their campaigns against the Liao invaders and rebel forces after they have been granted amnesty by the emperor. During the Fang La campaign, Hou Jian follows Ruan Xiaoqi and the Liangshan navy to infiltrate an enemy city. The fleet encounters a storm and is swept far out into the open sea. Hou Jian's ship sinks and he drowns.

Famous quotes containing the words campaigns and/or death:

    That food has always been, and will continue to be, the basis for one of our greater snobbisms does not explain the fact that the attitude toward the food choice of others is becoming more and more heatedly exclusive until it may well turn into one of those forms of bigotry against which gallant little committees are constantly planning campaigns in the cause of justice and decency.
    Cornelia Otis Skinner (1901–1979)

    Since the death instinct exists in the heart of everything that lives, since we suffer from trying to repress it, since everything that lives longs for rest, let us unfasten the ties that bind us to life, let us cultivate our death wish, let us develop it, water it like a plant, let it grow unhindered. Suffering and fear are born from the repression of the death wish.
    Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
