Death
After the Liangshan outlaws are granted amnesty by the emperor, Dai Zong follows them on their campaigns against the Liao invaders and rebel forces. He makes great contributions to the nation and is one of the few lucky survivors after the campaigns. He is appointed as an official in Yanzhou but decides to resign after holding office for a short period of time. He goes to a temple and leads a reclusive life there for a few months before his death.

Famous quotes containing the word death:
“In the attempt to defeat death man has been inevitably obliged to defeat life, for the two are inextricably related. Life moves on to death, and to deny one is to deny the other.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
“I’m beginning to believe that Killer Illiteracy ought to rank near heart disease and cancer as one of the leading causes of death among Americans. What you don’t know can indeed hurt you, and so those who can neither read nor write lead miserable lives, like Richard Wright’s character, Bigger Thomas, born dead with no past or future.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
