Sun Liang (243 - 260) was the second emperor of Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period of Chinese history. He was the founding emperor Sun Quan's youngest son and heir. He is also known as the Prince of Kuaiji (會稽王) or (less frequently) Marquess of Houguan (候官侯), which were his successive titles after his removal in 258 by the regent Sun Chen following his failed attempt to remove Sun Chen from power. He was succeeded by his brother Sun Xiu, who was successful in having Sun Chen killed. Two years after Sun Liang's removal, he was falsely accused of treason and demoted to marquess, and he committed suicide.

Famous quotes containing the word sun:
“If you meet a sectary, or a hostile partisan, never recognize the dividing lines; but meet on what common ground remains,—if only that the sun shines, and the rain rains for both; the area will widen very fast, and ere you know it the boundary mountains, on which the eye had fastened, have melted into air.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
