When Liangshan heroes walked into the university campus
A youth epic that makes people laugh and cry
Before you open this book, you may not be able to imagine what it would be like for those heroes who drank from large bowls and ate large pieces of meat in Water Margin if they were alive today.
The answer is right in front of you.
This is not the Water Margin story you are familiar with
Here, Lin Chong is not the instructor of the 800,000-strong Forbidden Army, but a Cangzhou boy who has just been admitted to college, pushing a broken donkey cart and looking around confusedly on the autumn campus.
Wu Song is not a hero who fights tigers. He is a brother who sleeps on your upper bunk. He doesn't talk much but values friendship. He will throw his fur coat to his roommate who is shivering from the cold.
Pan Jinlian is no longer the stigmatized image. She is a talented girl in the martial arts department. She can write poems such as "A beauty has no ambition, and a cold fragrance dares to be proud of a prince." She dreams of going to the border to make contributions.
Lu Zhishen is still the same Lu Zhishen, except that his Zen staff has been replaced by fitness equipment, and he is clamoring in the dormitory to treat guests to drinks.
Ximen Qing is still suave, but he is also a business genius. He has more than a dozen shops in his family, and he always helps his brothers silently when they are in trouble.
This is the youth of each of us
Although what he writes is the name of an ancient figure, it is about the youth that each of us has experienced.
You will see:
Lin Chong's secret love for Pan Jinlian - very much like the self who didn't dare to confess in college
Six roommates with very different personalities, ranging from strangers to relying on each other for life and death - reminds you of those quarreling but most precious brothers in the dormitory.
The bloody struggle of the martial arts competition—that is the arena that belongs to the campus
Anger and helplessness in the face of injustice—the pain of growing up, no one can escape it
Transformation from campus to society - the spark between ideal and reality
