Death
Dong Ping becomes one of the Five Tiger Generals of the Liangshan cavalry. He follows the heroes on their campaigns against the invading Liao army and rebel forces. During the Fang La campaign, Dong Ping and "Featherless Arrow" Zhang Qing are assigned to attack Dusong Pass. Dong Ping's left arm is injured by cannon fire but he continued fighting with the enemy general Li Tianrun despite his wounds. He is forced to retreat and Zhang Qing rushes forward to continue the fight for him, but is killed by Li Tianrun. Dong Ping attempts to avenge Zhang Qing but the enemy general Zhang Tao sneaks up on him and slices him into two from behind before he could do so.

Famous quotes containing the word death:
“If thou art rich, thou’rt poor,
For like an ass, whose back with ingots bows,
Thou bear’st thy heavy riches but a journey,
And death unloads thee.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“AIDS was ... an illness in stages, a very long flight of steps that led assuredly to death, but whose every step represented a unique apprenticeship. It was a disease that gave death time to live and its victims time to die, time to discover time, and in the end to discover life.”

“Those near death speak with sincere hearts.”
—Chinese proverb.
