Guan Jing (died 199), style name Shiqi (士起), was a military general serving under the warlord Gongsun Zan during the late Han Dynasty period of Chinese history. In 199, Gongsun Zan, being hopelessly besieged in the Battle of Yijing by Yuan Shao's army, committed suicide by self-immolation. Knowing this, Guan Jing nobly rushed into the army of Yuan Shao and died, following his lord's fate.
Famous quotes containing the word jing:
““next to of course god america i
love you land of the pilgrims” and so forth oh
say can you see by the dawn’s early my
country ‘tis of centuries come and go
and are no more what of it we should worry
in every language even deafanddumb
thy sons acclaim your glorious name by gorry
by jing by gee by gosh by gum”
