Zhang Heng (Water Margin) - Campaigns and Death

Campaigns and Death

After the Liangshan outlaws are granted amnesty by the emperor, Zhang Heng follows them on their campaigns against the Liao invaders and other rebel forces. During the Fang La campaign, Zhang Shun is killed in the battle of Hangzhou. After Zhang Shun's death, his spirit possesses Zhang Heng and he slays the enemy general Fang Tianding for revenge. Zhang Shun's spirit leaves his brother's body after that and Zhang Heng recovers from his trance. He is deeply saddened by the loss of his brother and collapses on the spot, dying from illness not long later.

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)

    Death destroys a man, but the idea of death saves him.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
