The most outstanding thing about "Water Margin" is the creation of characters. These images have distinctive personalities and are lifelike. Writers are also good at placing characters in real historical environments and depicting their characters based on their identities, experiences and encounters. At the same time, through the depiction of characters from all walks of life and the relationships between them, a true picture of social life in the Northern Song Dynasty is presented.
Reader comments
The book "Water Margin" is really great! The characters in it are very vividly portrayed. I especially like Lu Zhishen. He has an open-minded character, hates evil and is generous. This reminds me of Cheng Yaojin in "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties". Both of them are generous and loyal people. Moreover, this book's depiction of social life is also very realistic, making me feel like I was in the Northern Song Dynasty. All in all, this is a good book worth reading again and again!
