刘禅 / Liu Chan

Overview

刘禅 / Liu Chan enters the current wiki evidence as 刘备’s young son rescued by 赵云 during the 长坂坡之战.

Current Profile

Hanji 1094 gives Liu Chan a narrow but dynastically important role. Liu Bei’s movement collapses under pursuit and family members are separated or captured, but Zhao Yun returns carrying Liu Chan. Hanji 1125 adds a second preservation crisis after Liu Bei enters Yizhou: 孙夫人 tries to take Liu Chan east when returning to Jiangdong, and Zhang Fei with Zhao Yun intercepts the boats. Across both sources, the child is less an independent actor than the vulnerable carrier of Liu Bei’s family and succession continuity.

Key Characteristics

• Young son of Liu Bei in the episode’s Changban sequence.
• Becomes separated from the main fleeing group during battlefield disorder.
• Is carried back by Zhao Yun.
• Is later recovered again when Lady Sun attempts to take him east from Jingzhou.

Evidence

• Rescue setting: Hanji 1094 places Liu Chan inside the family-loss crisis at Changban.
• Return: Hanji 1094 says Zhao Yun returns carrying Liu Chan to Liu Bei.
• Boat interception: Hanji 1125 says Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun prevent Lady Sun from taking Liu Chan east.
