This work will completely subvert the tragic tone of the traditional Water Margin and transform it into a "workplace comedy + spiritual comedy" full of absurd logic, high-frequency laughter, but also hidden spiritual and philosophical speculation.
In the late Northern Song Dynasty, the social atmosphere was extremely "involution" and "information explosion" (presented in ancient forms). The arena is no longer about fighting and killing, but is filled with "success masters", "chicken soup dealers for the soul", "KPI assessments", "traffic internet celebrities", "weird customers" and "ineffective social interactions". Liangshanbo is no longer a base for resistance to the imperial court, but an officially certified "Reemployment and Spiritual Healing Center for Special Talents" (referred to as "Liangshan Zhe Research Institute") that specializes in housing people with "social death" or "excessive mental exhaustion".
Core Conflict: The heroes of Liangshan were not born rebellious, but were forced to the edge of "mental breakdown" or "abnormal behavior" by this absurd world. Their "rebellious" behavior was essentially using the most ridiculous and illogical way to fight against the absurd rules of the world. In the process, they accidentally understood (or accidentally practiced) the essence of "unity of knowledge and action" and "cultivation of conscience" in Xinxue - but the expression was extremely funny.
