"Outlaws of the Marsh" is one of the four masterpieces, which is well-known in our country. It showed that the common people at that time opposed the gap between the rich and the poor in feudal economy and the division of political hierarchy, and opposed the oppression and exploitation of feudalism. It reflects the wishes of the oppressed people.
In this book, the author created a number of distinctive characters. Such as Song Jiang, who is quick and righteous, Wu Yong, a wise and resourceful military adviser, Lu Zhishen, a rude and upright man, Huang Gai, a honest and honest man, and Lin Chong and Wu Song, who are skilled in martial arts. One by one, they are heroic, intelligent, courageous, and not afraid of death. They are all authentic heroes in Liangshanpo. Under the leadership of Song Jiang, they defeated many corrupt officials and hooligans who bullied the people, saved countless innocent people, and finally won the trust of the masses of people. The author also praised their superb martial arts and noble character of going to Tang Danhuo for the sake of brothers and partners in the story.
The whole story ended miserably. Some of the brothers died, some were injured, and some retired to the mountains under the use of the court. The original vigorous uprising failed. Although the brothers have tried their best to fight, they still ended up with a tragic ending.
I read the end of the book several times and thought about it carefully. I thought it was inevitable because the environment was different at that time. Even if you tried hard, it would still end like this.
