Features: These humble and lowly female characters carry complex and multifaceted traditional themes of Chinese women. Through the bustling urban life with the flavor of classic novel chapters, what Yu Li pays more attention to is their struggles and ups and downs in the joys and sorrows. Originally, in my heart, the women of Water Margin were just specks of color, but gradually, like a drop of ink, they gently fell into the water, diffusing on the calm surface and gradually turning into a large patch of color. That patch of color renders the fates of the characters in the book, or purple or blue, or ochre or yellow, while also adding much desolation, as it is looking back after many years of dust and smoke. The author of this book is inspired by Jin Shengtan's unique commentary on Water Margin, so the style of commentary in this book is quite distinct, with a deeper understanding and insightful perspectives. It organically blends rational analysis with emotional resonance, which can be considered a work in the "Yu style," a personal Water Margin. The writing is light and lively, full of youthful and fashionable vibes, making it a refreshing and enjoyable leisure read.
