Death
After the Liangshan outlaws are granted amnesty by the emperor, Dai Zong follows them on their campaigns against the Liao invaders and rebel forces. He makes great contributions to the nation and is one of the few lucky survivors after the campaigns. He is appointed as an official in Yanzhou but decides to resign after holding office for a short period of time. He goes to a temple and leads a reclusive life there for a few months before his death.

Famous quotes containing the word death:
“What is history? Its beginning is that of the centuries of systematic work devoted to the solution of the enigma of death, so that death itself may eventually be overcome. That is why people write symphonies, and why they discover mathematical infinity and electromagnetic waves.”
—Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)
“Why does man freeze to death trying to reach the North Pole? Why does man drive himself to suffer the steam and heat of the Amazon? Why does he stagger his mind with the mathematics of the sky? Once the question mark has arisen in the human brain the answer must be found, if it takes a hundred years. A thousand years.”
—Walter Reisch (1903–1963)
“Accordingly, death is a harbor of peace for the just, but is believed a shipwreck for the wicked.”
—Ambrose (c. 333–397)
