Descendants
Wu Jing's son, Wu Fen (吳奮), was commissioned as a military officer and placed in command of some troops, and received the title of "Marquis of Xin Village" (新亭侯). In 219, when Sun Quan (Sun Ce's younger brother and successor) and his general Lü Meng attacked Jing Province, Wu Fen was appointed as Commandant (都督) of Wu commandery (吳郡) and was tasked with defending Sun Quan's home territories. Wu Fen was succeeded by his son, Wu An (吳安), after his death. In the 240s, a power struggle broke out between Sun Quan's sons Sun Ba and Sun He, both of whom were fighting for the succession to their father's throne. Wu An supported Sun Ba during the contention and he died in the aftermath.
Wu Fen's younger brother, Wu Qi (吳祺), received the title of "Marquis of a Chief Village" (都亭侯). Wu Qi was close friends with Zhang Wen (張溫) and Gu Tan. Wu Qi's marquis title was inherited by his son, Wu Zuan (吳纂), after his death. Wu Zuan married the daughter of Teng Yin. In 256, when Teng Yin was executed for plotting against the regent Sun Chen, Wu Zuan was implicated and he lost his life as well.

Famous quotes containing the word descendants:
“Not only does democracy make every man forget his ancestors, but also clouds their view of their descendants and isolates them from their contemporaries. Each man is for ever thrown back on himself alone, and there is danger that he may be shut up in the solitude of his own heart.”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
“The descendants of Holy Roman Empire monarchies became feeble-minded in the twentieth century, and after World War I had been done in by the democracies; some were kept on to entertain the tourists, like the one they have in England.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
