Sun Bei Ling was a descendant of the great Sun Tzu (of Sun Tzu’s Art of War fame). Sun Bei Ling and Pong Guen grew up together in the Vale of Ghosts, and were both classmates and sworn brothers. Sun Bei Ling followed Pong Guen to the state of Wei, but there he was accused of treason and was punished by “Bin” - the words for “treason” were tattooed on his face, and his kneecaps were surgically removed. Afterward he changed his name to Sun Bin. |
