Features: The 108 heroes and other diverse character images from Water Margin have long been deeply rooted 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 highly favored by contemporary readers. Water Margin Comic Series is written by the renowned Japanese comic artist, Mr. Xia Qiuguang, and illustrated by the popular Hong Kong comic master, Mr. Li Zhiqing. Lin Chong, the head of the spear and staff training department for the 800,000 imperial guards in Tokyo, has his wife, Lady Lin, molested by Gao Shu's son, Gao Yainai, and himself is framed by Gao Shu. When he is exiled to Cangzhou, he is saved from certain death in the Wild Boar Forest by Lu Zhishen. While serving as a guard in the Cangzhou prison compound's hay field, he is again betrayed and set on fire by Lu Qian, a trusted subordinate of Gao Shu. Lin Chong kills Lu Qian and is saved from the snowstorm that night by Chai Jin.
