Jin Shengtan: Lin Chong is naturally a superior character, but the writing is just too ruthless. It's scary to see how well he can calculate, endure, control, and do it thoroughly. A person like this will definitely have a career in this world, but he will also have a lot of energy to ponder.
Wang Wangru: Lin Chong is truly a celestial being! Dong Chao and Xue Ba couldn't be beaten to death if they bought money, and they couldn't be burned to death if they bought Guanying and Chaibao with money. Chai Jin could escape by giving them some money. You can escape by scattering some money; others can't harm you with money, but you can save yourself with money; money is inherently useless.
Li Xiaoer has no money, so he can be saved by asking his wife to hear the news from behind. If he doesn’t use money, he can be saved by hearing the news in front of the temple in the snow. I hate that when the snow falls on the thatched hut, I sell wine first; when the fire burns the pasture, I stay in the temple first. Whenever the mountains and rivers are exhausted, they will reach into the sky to draw their hands. Heroes in ancient and modern times are in trouble, and there has never been such a coincidence.
Bao Pengshan: Lin Chong’s early performance was all about resignation. But at the same time, he also has the trait of enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens. He has compassion for the lower class people, is a general with a sense of justice, is upright, and is generous with money. He possesses the character of patience, the mentality of retaliation, the chivalrous spirit of helping the weak and the poor, and the cautious and meticulous personality. Extended information
