Synopsis

The descendants of Liang Shang held high the banner, upheld justice for heaven, resisted gold and saved the country, and composed a heroic hymn that can be sung and cried! This book inherits the legacy of Shi Naian's "Water Margin" and the legacy of Chen Chen's "Hou Water Margin". It is compiled into chapters based on old stories passed down orally from elders in the market. It was created nearly a year ago and the whole book has been added and revised no less than ten times, with a total of 120 chapters. In the past, a hundred and eight generals from Liangshan were marching on behalf of Heaven and gathered at Yi Shuibo. However, in the battle of Fangla, most of them died, and the survivors were either hiding in the rivers and lakes, disappearing from the king's affairs, or going overseas. The stars dispersed and the clouds disappeared, and the dignified and loyal teacher became a passing cloud. However, his spiritual bloodline has not been cut off. Time flies by, to the 20th year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the 23rd year since the Jingkang Revolution. The Jin captives invaded the south and half of the country fell; Qin Hui came to power and Yue Fei died unjustly. The rebels in the north were depressed, and the imperial court remained in peace and stopped talking about recovery. However, in the Yutong area in western Sichuan, there were descendants of Liangshan, such as Chai Xin and Li Sheng, who gathered together to fight against the Jin Dynasty and rekindle the spark. The narrative in this book begins from here. Although this book is named Water Margin Continuation, it is not limited to old theories or official history. Most of the mountains, rivers, geography, customs and people are based on facts from Western Sichuan, Tubo and Dali; all the characters and deeds are mostly based on old news passed down by the elders in the market. Despite the words of novelists, it can be seen that loyal and righteous people will not be lost even if they are passed down for hundreds of years; the legend of a spark will continue to be passed down for thousands of years. Later generations wrote a poem praising: A new book continues the old chapter, and the sparks of Liangshan are passed down to this day. Heroes gathered under Yutong City, and loyalty was intact on the snowy plateau. The subtlety of the formation scares the enemy, and the sharp light of the sword shines in the sky. I advise you not to take ordinary views. Every word is engraved with blood and tears.

Reader comments

This book inherits the legacy of "Water Margin" and continues the legacy of loyalty. Taking the descendants of Liangshan as the protagonist, the war against the Jin Dynasty was rekindled during the confrontation between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty. The writing style is simple and has the charm of classical chapters and chapters; there are many characters, each with their own temperament, especially Wu Chen, Wu Liang, Chai Xin and so on. The plot is ups and downs, with formations, fighting generals, ingenuity, and sorcery, and the descriptions of the battlefield are detailed and tragic. However, some of the plots are a bit lengthy, and the characters are too numerous and occasionally scattered. Overall, it is a sentimental and capable sequel to Water Margin, especially suitable for those who are fond of classical heroes and legends. The loyal soul of Liangshan is not yet cold, and the spark is burning in Western Sichuan again! The descendant of Wu Song killed the traitor with his sword, and his wise nephew plotted to conquer Tubo. Anti-Jin soldiers, Lian Dali, demon-breaking array, guarding the isolated city, see how the descendants of Liangshan continue to write the legend of loyalty in troubled times! Even if a spark is small, it can eventually start a prairie fire!

The writing style is sophisticated, and for those who like to read classics, new interpretations are extended from the author's unique perspective. I am very impressed that he dares to write about this kind of subject matter in this impetuous fast food novel world!
