"Water Margin" will overturn your perception - there are no heroes here, only bandits; no loyalty, only calculations.
This book is based on the 100-chapter version of "Water Margin" and deconstructs it chapter by chapter, completely tearing off the fig leaf of "doing justice for heaven and being loyal to heroes". From Lieutenant Hong digging up the bones of innocent souls to claim credit, to Lu Zhishen punching Guanxi and then walking away, leaving behind even worse victims; from Lin Chong betraying his benefactor in order to protect himself, to Wu Song indiscriminately killing innocent maids in Yuanyang Tower with his blood splattered ; From the division of spoils in Liangshan Juyi to the betrayal of brothers after the recruitment of troops - each chapter is from the perspective of the victims, the people at the bottom, and the oppressed, restoring the bloodshed, injustice and hypocrisy that were covered up in the original work.
There is no robbing the rich and giving to the poor, only the gangsters eating the gangsters; there is no injustice on the road, only violence and bloodthirsty; there is no loyalty, only the binding of interests. The one hundred and eight generals of Liangshan are not descendants of stars, but perpetrators who were forced to become demons in troubled times and then turned to bully the weaker ones.
After reading this book, you will see another side of "Water Margin" - a dark truth about the evil of human nature, the violence of power, and the never-ending way out for the bottom class.
Reader comments
The author's writing is great
It's the first time to see Water Margin from an ordinary person's perspective. It's pretty good.
A very good book, but it's a pity that it's not narrated by a real person.
It is written with great care and rich imagination. But some plots have been changed. Therefore, it cannot be called interpretation of Water Margin, it can only be called borrowing trees to bloom. Plan another chapter
