The legendary 108 of the Water Margin will be the 108 stars in the sky, combined with the previous mythological stories, the hard life of these heroes and good men, and many people understand that this is all the history of the gods, the more suffering experienced, the higher the future achievements. But is that really the case?
Among them, Hao Siwen, who ranked 41st, is not the best character, but the ending is really a tragic word compared to other good men, and in the final analysis, the reason for all this is still hidden in his nickname.
Bad luck
There are 108 good men in Liangshan, although their identities are different, but the reasons for being forced to go to Liangshan are all the same, either because they have encountered family changes, or because of their violent temper accidentally involved in human life lawsuits, or they have been framed.
Although the reasons are strange, but in the end, they are all a kind of people, that is, they are forced to be cornered, but even so, everyone has had a period of happiness and stability, but among them there is such an unlucky egg interspersed in it, from the beginning to the end, they are all taking bad luck, this person is Hao Siwen of Jingmu.
In the whole play, it is rarely mentioned that Hao Siwen has relatives, no parents to take care of, no brothers and sisters to help each other, such a helpless orphan image, it seems that Hao Siwen is even more lonely. When Hao Siwen appeared, he was in his thirties, he could rank high, and his kung fu foundation was naturally good, and compared with people like Li Kui, it was even more worthy of a sentence of "literary brilliance".
However, what is not clear to everyone is that the reason why Hao Siwen can write and martial arts comes from, in fact, at the beginning, Hao Siwen did not think of reading, but his life was too poor, and he thought of changing his fate through the examination, but where did he know that the knowledge he learned by himself would be ignorant at a glance, and he would not be confused when he took the exam, and even after taking the exam several times, the examiner's face was almost familiar, but he had not even touched the edge of a show talent.
Later, Hao Siwen really had no patience, so he abandoned Wen Congwu and began to study his own martial arts painstakingly, but the results were much the same as before, basically, but it was not proficient, but fortunately, the ink in his stomach was favored by Guan Sheng, and the two had a friendship.
In the Water Margin, there is such a sentence "Guan Shengzheng and Hao Siwen are in the inner circle, talking about the rise and fall of ancient and modern times", if there is no real talent and practical learning, who dares to discuss such an atmospheric topic as soon as he opens his mouth, but it is such an excellent person, but when he is mixed into middle age, he still achieves nothing.
The ending is bleak
If it weren't for the help of Sheng, I'm afraid it would be a problem to even eat on their own, the timing is not good, to meet Guan Sheng is the only bit of good luck in life that can be praised, fortunately, Guan Sheng and Hao Siwen also fell in love, the two worshiped as brothers, and no matter where they were after that, the two were basically inseparable.
After Guan Sheng's promotion, Hao Siwen's luck also improved slightly, and later won the favor of Master Cai, and ordered the two to go on a crusade against Liangshan.
Hao Siwen's kung fu can be regarded as top-notch, and the eighteen martial arts are all proficient, and he can't wait to act as a pioneer, but he doesn't have much of the limelight of his subordinates, and he has made himself a decoration. Later, it was difficult to become famous in the army, but the reason for his fame was because he was captured by an enemy girl army, which directly dragged the eldest brother Guan Sheng to surrender, and the two arrived at Liangshan.
I thought that when I arrived here, there might be a place for the brothers to live, in the subsequent Southern Expedition and The Northern War, Hao Siwen did play a little famous, who knew that it was not long after the comfort, the boss Song Jiang, who had recruited them, was about to be recruited by the imperial court, which made the two people who had been in the imperial court appear even more embarrassed.
But embarrassment returned to embarrassment, and the days still had to pass, but the only uncomfortable thing was that after being recruited by the imperial court, the brotherly combination of Guan Sheng and Hao Siwen was also broken up.
After recruiting the heroes of Liangshan, the imperial court began to eagerly begin to use them as swords, and when ordered to conquer Fang La, Hao Siwen accompanied the army to Hangzhou, but unfortunately, Hao Siwen was ill-prepared, and with the enemy's large army raiding, Hao Siwen was captured again.
This time with Hao Siwen is Xu Ning, the relationship between the two is not bad, Xu Ning lectured on righteousness, naturally did not want to see his brother so arrested, immediately turned around and planned to save Hao Siwen.
But the other side is crowded, Xu Ning has not had time to go to Hao Siwen's side, he was shot by the poison arrow in the air, the top ten golden gunners in the hall, just say that it is gone, just from the perspective of force value, this wave of one for one, indeed some losses.
And Hao Siwen was also unlucky to the extreme this time, this time the person who caught Hao Siwen was Fang La's son, and he had some understanding of Hao Siwen's name, but it was precisely because of this that the enemy army also hated Hao Siwen even more, and what could have been fatal was to let Hao Siwen suffer and die.
The name dictates
For the process of Hao Siwen's death, it was not described in detail at that time, but in a transition shot, Song Jiang saw that several people were delayed in returning, and sent someone to inquire to know that Hao Siwen was chopped. This is not a general word, Hao Siwen was indeed stabbed by the enemy with one knife and the flesh on his body, and eventually tortured to death, and his head was also hung on the wall by the enemy, which was extremely humiliating.
Looking around, the hero of the entire Water Margin legend, there is no such ending as he is miserable, and at the moment after Hao Siwen's death, people inexplicably think of a magical story about Hao Siwen's birth in the mouth of Guan Sheng at the beginning.
It is rumored that Hao Siwen's mother dreamed of a well-wood tile star before giving birth to Hao Siwen, and felt that this was related to Hao Siwen, which is why Hao Siwen would later have a well-wood nickname.
The three words of Hiroshi Igi sound good, but they are really a fierce appearance, the constellation looks like a dense spider web, giving people a sense of doom, and the word 犴, is a direct reference to the fierce dog, no matter which meaning, is not a good symbol.
And the well timber wolf in the 28 stars also has a name called Kui Timber Wolf, has also appeared in the Journey to the West, is a big god in the heavens, this time suffering in the human world, perhaps also because of the mistakes in the heavens.
epilogue
Perhaps it is precisely because of this fierce appearance that Hao Siwen will be lonely in the first half of his life, even later, whenever he encounters a war, he is obviously good, but he is always caught by others.
It seems to be just a nickname, but from the moment he appeared, in fact, he had already laid his life, like the characters in the dream of the Red Chamber, at first he did not realize it, and when the characters completely disappeared from the play, they found that his ending had already been written in the name.
