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.

“That the sun will not rise to-morrow is no less intelligible a proposition, and implies no more contradiction, than the affirmation, that it will rise.”
