Small talk about "Dangkozhi"

Many years ago, I found the novel "Dangkozhi" in the bookstore, so I did not hesitate to buy it. Because I've known about it for a long time, I just haven't seen it.

When I got home, I couldn't wait to take out the novel and enjoy it. Who knows, just a few pages, I frowned. I thought that the book about sweeping up thieves must be full of justice and heroism, and it would feel refreshing and wonderful to read. But I didn't expect that this novel actually wrote the good men of Liangshan as villains and swept them up as thieves. Watching the good men of Liangshan in the book die one by one, I became more and more angry and more and more angry. About a third of it, I couldn't stand it anymore, I couldn't stand it. I stood up suddenly, with both hands, trying to tear the book off. But as soon as I saw the exquisite cover, my heart softened again. With a long sigh, I tucked the novel into the bottom of the bookcase, vowing never to look at it again.

To this day, the feeling of "Dangkozhi" still makes me sad and discouraged. Why has this novel survived to this day and continues to be published? I don't understand!
