About
Lu Xun (183 – 245) was an officer of Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms era of China. He was instrumental in causing Guan Yu's downfall, but is most famous for defeating Liu Bei in the celebrated Battle of Yiling. Lu Xun was born into one of the four most prestigious and richest families in the Wu district (Zhu, Lu, Gu, Zhang). Lu Xun began his career as a minor official under Sun Ce who was then still a general and provincial warlord. Lu Xun was soon given a minor post as commandant and civil officer, where he distinguished himself as both a skilled civil leader, and as a military commander. As a military commander, he pacified south eastern tribes of Yue and brought them within the Chinese influence. As a civil official, he was successful in integrating northern refugees and minorities into the social and economic structure of Wu. A dispute arose between two of Sun Quan's sons: Sun He, then heir to the throne, and Sun Ba, Prince of Lu. Sun He's position as Crown Prince was threatened by Sun Ba, who received a great deal of favor from his father. Lu Xun sided with Sun He and begged Sun Quan to firmly establish He as Crown Prince, stating that Sun Ba's power was a threat to the stability of the Kingdom of Wu. He sent letter after letter; they were all ignored. Furthermore, he was dismissed from office, and Sun Quan repeatedly sent officers to reprimand him. Filled with grief, Lu Xun fell ill and died at the age of 63. He married Sun Ce and Da Qiao's daughter and fathered Lu Yan and Lu Kang. Kang eventually re-established his father's name, and went on to become one of the greatest officers of Wu
