He was also known by his pseudonym Huhai Sanren (Chinese: 湖海散人; pinyin: Húhǎi Sǎnrén; literally "Leisure Man of Lakes and Seas").

“It is a general truism of this world that anything long divided will surely unite, and anything long united will surely divide.”

“You may return and tell Sun Quan to wash his neck: the executioner is coming.”
Luo Guanzhong
“The world under heaven, after a long period of division, tends to unite; after a long period of union, tends to divide. This has been so since antiquity. ”
Luo Guanzhong
“On and on the Great River rolls, racing east.Of proud and gallant heros its white-tops leave no trace,As right and wrong, pride and fall at once unrealYet ever the green hill stayTo blaze in the west-waning day...”
