In Fiction
In the historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms by Luo Guanzhong, Zhang Yi was a late era general for Shu, typically serving below or alongside Liao Hua. Right before Zhuge Liang died, he named Zhang Yi, along with Liao Hua, Ma Dai, Wang Ping and Zhang Ni, as the loyal generals of Shu who should be retained. He died in chapter 119 during the confusion of the failed uprising by Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui.

Famous quotes containing the word fiction:
“Americans will listen, but they do not care to read. War and Peace must wait for the leisure of retirement, which never really comes: meanwhile it helps to furnish the living room. Blockbusting fiction is bought as furniture. Unread, it maintains its value. Read, it looks like money wasted. Cunningly, Americans know that books contain a person, and they want the person, not the book.”
—Anthony Burgess (b. 1917)
“It seems that the fiction writer has a revolting attachment to the poor, for even when he writes about the rich, he is more concerned with what they lack than with what they have.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
