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:
“Not one death but many,
not accumulation but change, the feed-back proves, the feed-back is
the law”
—Charles Olson (1910–1970)
“To die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly. Death freely chosen, death at the right time, brightly and cheerfully accomplished amid children and witnesses: then a real farewell is still possible, as the one who is taking leave is still there; also a real estimate of what one has wished, drawing the sum of one’s life—all in opposition to the wretched and revolting comedy that Christianity has made of the hour of death.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Death is too much for men to bear, whereas women, who are practiced in bearing the deaths of men before their own and who are also practiced in bearing life, take death almost in stride. They go to meet death—that is, they attempt suicide—twice as often as men, though men are more “successful” because they use surer weapons, like guns.”
—Roger Rosenblatt (b. 1940)
