There is also a line from "Linjiang Immortal" written by Lin Chong himself as evidence (Chapter 11 "Lin Chong goes up to Liangshan on a snowy night"): "It's as boring as a dragon leaving the island, as sad as a tiger trapped in a barren field, and as sad as autumn. Song Yu burst into tears. When Jiang Yan was about to leave, Xiang Yu was in trouble. Zhaoguan and Wu Xiang were in distress. Li Lingtai looked up, and Su Wu was trapped in Juyan. The first part of the poem describes the helplessness of ancient celebrities, talents and heroes who were in difficult situations and could not realize their ideals, to express that Lin Chong himself was in the same situation and felt the same situation - he was willing to serve the king and serve the country with all his loyalty. But in a difficult situation, ambition is hard to achieve. The last part of this poem mentions three revenge images: Su Wu, Li Ling, and Wu Zixu (Wu Xiang). These three images have the same characteristics - enduring humiliation, revenge for the country, and a distinct spirit of loyalty. In this poem, Lin Chong encourages himself with these three patriotic heroes, which clearly embodies the spirit of loyalty and loyalty of enduring humiliation and serving the country with loyalty. From then on, Lin Chong joined the Liangshan Heroes. Lin Chong and like-minded people worked together to punish evil and promote good, fight against treacherous officials, eliminate corrupt officials, control Liao soldiers, suppress rebels, and protect the country and the people, thoroughly practicing the spirit of loyalty. In Chapter 119 of the novel "Water Margin", the author talks about Lin Chong's death due to overwork and illness due to continuous fighting. Lin Chong spent his whole life fighting against evil forces; Lin Chong's life was a life of loyalty, and for the sake of loyalty, he dedicated himself to death. The evil forces in the novel mainly refer to the disloyal and unjust treacherous ministers and corrupt officials who deceived superiors and subordinates, ruffians and bullies, traitors who resisted the emperor and plundered the people, Liao soldiers who invaded the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty, and so on. Gao Qiu is the most disloyal and unjust minister in the novel, a treacherous official who betrays the general principles, and a representative of evil forces. In addition, Ximen Qing, who poisoned Wu Dalang and occupied Pan Jinlian, Mao Taigong, who blackmailed the hunter Xie Zhen and Xie Bao for a tiger, defrauded the singing girl Jin Cuilian, and Zhen Guanxi Zheng Tu, who also wanted to recover the money from the pawn. There are Zhu Chaofeng, etc., who are a group of ruffians who collude with the upper-level ruling group.
