Features: Water Margin is one of the most beloved classical vernacular novels in Chinese history. The entire work is centered on the peasant uprising led by Song Jiang, artistically depicting the tragic and heroic struggle of the ancient Chinese people against oppression. The novel fully exposes the corruption and cruelty of the feudal ruling class, reveals the acute social contradictions of the time, and the brutal reality of "official oppression forcing people to rebel." It successfully portrays a group of heroic figures, including Lu Zhishen, Li Kui, Wu Song, Lin Chong, and Ruan Xiaochi. Water Margin is part of the "Family Bookshelf" series, showcasing the entire process of a group of "heroes" who rise up against tyranny, gather at Mount Liang, and ultimately fail after accepting the imperial amnesty.
