In Fiction
In Luo Guanzhong's historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Lady Wu has a younger sister, also called Lady Wu, who married Sun Jian as well. The older one bore Sun Ce and Sun Quan while the younger one bore Lady Sun and Sun Lang. The younger Lady Wu is also known as "Wu Guotai" (吳國太; literally: "Elder Lady Wu of the kingdom"). Wu Guotai lived longer than her older sister, as she was present to witness the marriage of her daughter to Liu Bei.

Famous quotes containing the word fiction:
“The society would permit no books of fiction in its collection because the town fathers believed that fiction ‘worketh abomination and maketh a lie.’”
—For the State of Rhode Island, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“The obvious parallels between Star Wars and The Wizard of Oz have frequently been noted: in both there is the orphan hero who is raised on a farm by an aunt and uncle and yearns to escape to adventure. Obi-wan Kenobi resembles the Wizard; the loyal, plucky little robot R2D2 is Toto; C3PO is the Tin Man; and Chewbacca is the Cowardly Lion. Darth Vader replaces the Wicked Witch: this is a patriarchy rather than a matriarchy.”
—Andrew Gordon, U.S. educator, critic. “The Inescapable Family in American Science Fiction and Fantasy Films,” Journal of Popular Film and Television (Summer 1992)
