Features: The 108 heroes and other diverse characters from Water Margin have long been deeply ingrained in people's minds, but the increasingly fast-paced modern social life leaves many with little time to savor the essence of classical masterpieces. Water Margin Comic Series approaches this classic from a different angle, reinterpreting it in the form of comics, which is very popular among contemporary readers. Water Margin Comic Series is written by the renowned Japanese comic artist Xia Qiuwang, with illustrations by the popular Hong Kong comic master Li Zhiqing. Shi Jin, from a young age, loved practicing martial arts, and his body was tattooed with nine green dragons, earning him the nickname "Nine-Stripe Dragon." Shi Jin, the instructor of the 800,000 imperial guards in Dongjing, was framed by Gao Qiu and fled with his mother to Yan'an Prefecture. On the way, his mother fell ill, and Wang Jin, who lived in Shi Village, taught Shi Jin martial arts. Shi Jin met the bandit heroes Zhu Wu, Chen Da, and Yang Chun, but unexpectedly, they were accused to the authorities. Together, they defeated the officials and ascended Shaohua Mountain.
