"Water Margin" (Shi Naian, Luo Guanzhong): The rulers of the Song Dynasty were corrupt and cruel. Taiwei Gao Qiu was originally a scoundrel. Because he could play football, he was appreciated by the emperor. From then on, he rose through the ranks and committed all kinds of evil. His only son, Gao Yanei, was domineering. In order to seize the beautiful wife of Lin Chong, the chief instructor of the 800,000-strong Forbidden Army, he falsely accused Lin Chong of bringing a knife into the military base of Baihutang with evil intentions, and sent Lin Chong to the army. He also wanted to kill him halfway in the wild boar forest. Fortunately, Lin Chong was sent to the army. Flower monk Lu Zhishen came to the rescue. It was Taishi Cai's birthday. His son-in-law collected a hundred thousand gold and silver treasures and sent them to the capital to celebrate. He sent Yang Zhi to escort him. The three brothers Chao Gai, Wu Yong, and Ruan made a plan to outwit the birthday card. Afterwards, they fought fiercely with the court, and finally everyone fled to Liangshan together. Another tiger fighting hero, Wu Song, killed Ximen Qing because he colluded with his sister-in-law Pan Jinlian to kill his elder brother Wu Dalang, so he was sentenced to exile. After a series of twists and turns, he was also forced to go to prison. In addition, there were many heroes such as Song Jiang and Lu Zhishen, and 108 people were killed. In the end, due to various reasons, they were forced to become bandits in Liangshan and start an uprising.

They dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the reactionary rulers, promoted the heroic fighting spirit of the people, and accomplished a great cause of great vigor.
