Another Talk About Water Margin

Liangshan's one hundred and eight generals are never monolithic. Song Jiang's "loyalty" is a carefully calculated transaction. He manipulates information, weaves debts of gratitude, and makes everyone think they owe him a life. The most cunning thing about him is that he even deceived himself - before his death, he used three sentences to make Li Kui willingly drink poisonous wine, thinking that this was brotherhood. Lin Chong calculated everything very clearly. He had calculated the Gao Yanei Incident, he had calculated the Wild Boar Forest, he had also calculated the incident in which Wang Lun was empressed and gave way to Chao Gai - every time he gave in, it was the rational optimal solution, and every optimal solution made him more useless. Until one day he figured out: As long as he lives, he will be a burden to everyone. Lu Zhishen never calculates. He killed people, drank alcohol, and smashed temples, but never for selfish reasons. He didn't understand Buddhist scriptures and didn't abide by the precepts. His first words after uprooting a weeping willow tree were that he was worried about destroying the shelter of earthworms. When the tide rose in Qiantang, he sat down and passed away when he heard the word "Chaoxin" - the Buddha nature in him was not a practice, but an instinct. Li Jun was the first person to wake up. He didn't believe Song Jiang's narrative from the first day he went to Liangshan, but he never said it out loud. After conquering Fangla, he pretended to be ill and left. When Song Jiang came to visit him, he coughed up blood and said, "Brother, don't worry." After Song Jiang left, he took out the untaken pills from under his pillow, crushed them, and told his confidants: "Prepare the ship." Four lives, four ways of living. Under the banner of loyalty, everyone has his own ending.
