成龙 / Cheng Long (Late Han)

成龙 / Cheng Long (Late Han) enters the wiki through Hanji 997 as 臧洪‘s同乡 admirer. When 袁绍 is about to execute Zang Hong, Cheng Long steps forward to argue that a general claiming to remove harm from the world should not begin by killing a loyal and righteous person.

The source uses Cheng Long to intensify the moral problem. He is warned to stop speaking, but he answers that following renyi makes a gentleman and abandoning renyi makes a petty person. He chooses death with Zang Hong rather than silent survival, so the episode makes him part of the same tension between admirable righteousness and politically fatal attachment.
