Du Wei (Fang La general)

Du Wei is a character in the epic tale, the ''Water Margin''.

Du is best known as an instrumental general for the Song Southern rebel, Fang La. He inflicted great damage on the Liangshan forces when the latter attacked Fang and his men. In one instance, at the battlefield, he threw a flying dagger at Qin Ming and whilst Qin dodged it, Fang Jie seized the opportunity to stab him to death.

Du also killed Sun Er Niang and Yu Bao-si with his flying daggers as well.
