Liu Chen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Liu Chen (劉諶) is the fifth son of Liu Shan, the latter ruler of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period of China. Liu Chen opposed the plans of Qiao Zhou to surrender to the opposing force under Deng Ai of Wei. Liu Chen attempted to convince Liu Shan to fight for the honor of Shu so his father (Liu Bei) could look upon him as a redeemed ruler of Shu. However, Liu Shan threw Liu Chen out of the court for this. After hearing of the surrender of the Shu Kingdom, he went to Liu Bei's temple and killed his wife and children before committing suicide.

His story is reenacted in a play of the Yue opera.
