Sun En

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sun En (died 402) was a native of Langyeh in Shantung, and a descendant of Sun Xiu. He joined his uncle Sun Tai, who was regarded as a magician, in planning revolutionary measures; and when the latter was put to death, he took the lead himself. At the head of a considerable force he captured Kuei-chi in Chehkiang and proclaimed himself Generalissimo of the East, giving to his followers the title of "Immortals." After a long struggle, with alternating fortune, he found himself without resources and committed suicide by drowning himself in the sea.^[1]
