Reader comments
Moreover, his arguments are rigorous and well-founded, and combined with text analysis, they are convincing. I feel like you work very hard to understand a person and understand his behavior and thoughts from his upbringing and experience. Just like my friend who works hard in other places, he works hard just to give his family a better life. I can understand his hard work and persistence, just like I understand the characters in the book. However, I kind of hate those bad characters who bully the people, but fortunately they all got the punishment they deserved in the end. This book really gave me a deeper understanding of "Water Margin"!
A very good book, with a different perspective than others. Analyzing characters and events is very insightful!
