樸壽，字仁山，滿洲鑲黃旗人。 Pu Shou, styled Renshan, was a Manchu of the Bordered Yellow Banner.

然民軍雖被創，輒隨時募集，防軍以猛鬥故，傷亡多，卒敗潰。 Though wounded, the revolutionaries recruited replacements at once. Pu Shou's troops fought fiercely but took heavy losses and were finally routed.

樸壽被執，受挫辱，不屈，遂支解之，棄屍山下，其死狀為最烈云。 Pu Shou was captured and humiliated but would not submit. He was dismembered and his body thrown below the hill—the most brutal death in the chapter.

事聞，贈太子太保，予二等輕車都尉世職，諡忠肅。 The court posthumously made him Grand Guardian of the Heir Apparent, granted a hereditary second-class commandery chariot captaincy, and gave him the posthumous name Zhongsu, "Loyal and Stern."
