About This Novel
"Water Margin" is my country's first novel describing a peasant uprising. The whole book uses the theme of "officials forcing the people to rebel" as a clue, describing the story of a group of "heroes" who could not bear the oppression of tyranny and rose up. The novel tells the whole process of Juyi Shuibo Liangshan, acceptance of recruitment and final failure. The ideological highlight of "Water Margin" is that it fully affirms the rebellious peasants who were regarded as "thieves and bandits" by feudal rulers, and praises the spirit of all strata who dare to resist corrupt bureaucrats, safeguard their own interests, and not bow to the powerful. The novel also profoundly reveals the social roots of the peasant uprising. It tells readers that the reason why the peasants revolted was because the people, ranging from the emperor and fatuous ministers like Gao Qiu to the overbearing officials, large and small, had made their lives miserable.

Not bad, as one of the four great classics!
Because it costs money, it doesn't look good.
Great. ? . . . . . . . .
