As we all know, the artistic achievement of "Water Margin" is most prominently manifested in the creation of heroes. The huge historical theme of the book is mainly expressed through the praise of the heroes of the uprising and the depiction of their struggle. Therefore, the success of the heroic image is an important factor for the brilliant artistic life of the work. In "Water Margin", at least ten or twenty typical images with distinctive personalities appear. These images are flesh and blood, lifelike, and vivid on paper. One hundred singles and eight generals refers to the 108 leaders on Liangshanpo in the novel "Water Margin", composed of 36 members of Tiangangxing and 72 members of Dishaxing. These 108 images are distinctive, flesh-and-blood, lifelike, and vivid on paper. They have their own strengths and have different endings. They are classic figures in the history of Chinese literature. "Water Margin·Heroes Biographies" is basically based on the original novel of "Water Margin", adopting a brand-new form-the biographical genre of Chinese Biography and History Books, to hide the deeds of every hero. Different from the film and television works reproduced in the previous official original works, "Water Margin·Heroes" adopts a new modern perspective, using modern thinking to deconstruct the character and the development and evolution of events, focusing on and highlighting each hero. The shining point of humanity that is worth our thinking. (translated from tenceng)
