Editor's recommendation
⭐The craze is running strong. This book was once serialized under the title "Tasting the Water Margin: Power and Humanity in Liangshan". It was completed into a full article and was well received by the industry and the audience.
⭐Stand firm. Starting from the standpoint of literary history, the author uses a rigorous attitude to sort out the clues in "Water Margin", and attaches them to written texts and pays attention to details. In the description, he does not mention "Shi Naian" and calls him "the author of "Water Margin"", adhering to his narrative position.
⭐Humanity glows. When it comes to "Water Margin", it is more about the bloody storms in the world, but the author goes against the trend, taking consideration of human nature as an important principle, exploring the radiant humanity in "Water Margin", and adding a touch of motivation for life to the fragmented modern people.
