Preamble:
"Water Margin" is one of the four famous novels of ancient China, and it is also a well-known literary work, which has created a large number of heroes and heroes, among which Liangshanbo is one hundred and eight generals. Among the more than 100 characters, the most well-known are Song Jiang, Wu Yong, Chao Gai and other characters. Among these characters, Wu Yong's image has always been controversial, and his life experience is also confusing and elusive. And in the whole story of Liangshan, Wu Yong's role positioning is also very special, and he may be the real controller of Liangshan.
1. The boss of Liangshan is not Song Jiang, but Wu Yong
In many people's impressions, the boss of Liangshan should be Song Jiang, after all, Song Jiang's reputation is much greater than that of Wu Yong. In some versions of the Water Margin, Song Jiang is also portrayed as the leader of Liangshan, and his words and deeds can affect the fate of Liangshan. But if you savor the story of Liangshan, you will find that the boss of Liangshan is not Song Jiang, but Wu Yong.
Wu Yong's life experience is also very legendary, he was originally a scholar, but for some special reasons, he was forced to leave his hometown, and finally came to Liangshan and became a member of Liangshan. And it is precisely because of Wu Yong's wisdom and courage that he was able to swim in Liangshan with ease, give full play to his talents, and become an indispensable figure on Liangshan.
In contrast, Song Jiang's IQ is obviously inferior, and he is not particularly rational in some of Liangshan's decisions, and he is often deceived by others. Therefore, although the heroes of Liangshan are very powerful, if you want to talk about the real controller, it must be Wu Yong, it is his existence that makes everything in Liangshan orderly.
Second, not all the heroes of Liangshan were forced to go up the mountain
In the perception of many people, most of the more than 100 heroes in Liangshan were forced to go to Liangshan, and they were not willing to become robbers, but were only forced to do so for their livelihood. But if you carefully taste the story of Liangshan, you will find that this is not necessarily the case, in fact, most of the heroes of Liangshan did it themselves with a heart of greed for wealth, and they were not forced to go to Liangshan.
For example, Chao Gai, he was originally a rich son with a lot of family background, living a life of stretching out his hands in clothes and opening his mouth for food, but because he broke the law, he was forced to flee and finally came to Liangshan. In addition to Chao Gai, people like Lu Zhishen, Wu Song and others also came to Liangshan with a heart of greed for wealth and nobility, and they are not simple poor people.
This also means that not all the heroes of Liangshan are innocent people, and they themselves have unshirkable responsibilities, but they are confused by the statement that Liangshan is forced. In fact, most of the heroes in Liangshan are suspicious, so they will do some radical behaviors on Liangshan.
3. Wu Yong's suicide may be to save the heroes of Liangshan
In the whole Liangshan story, Wu Yong's ending is also very embarrassing, he did not die as heroically as other heroes, but chose to commit suicide and end his life. And for Wu Yong's move, it is also very incomprehensible to future generations, everyone doesn't understand why Wu Yong made such a decision, what he was thinking.
But if you think carefully about what happened to Wu Yong, you may be able to find some clues, the reason why Wu Yong chose to commit suicide is probably to save the heroes of Liangshan and prevent them from falling into a deeper crisis. After Wu Yong left Liangshan, everything in Liangshan became precarious, and the heroes gradually lost their way, not knowing what to do.
And Wu Yong may have realized something, he clearly knows that not everyone in Liangshan can see the situation clearly and make the right choice, and some people will even go astray and end up with their lives. Therefore, in order to avoid such a tragedy from happening again, Wu Yong can only choose to leave by himself and awaken those lost souls by martyrdom, so that they can re-examine their choices and find the exit of life.
Fourth, the story of Liangshan enlightens people
Although the story of Liangshan happened a long time ago, it has left a lot of inspiration for future generations, and people have benefited a lot from it. The image of more than 100 heroes in Liangshan is like a mirror, reflecting the ugliest side of human nature, who will do whatever it takes for power and profit, and can even turn their backs on their conscience and do some things that hurt nature and reason.
This is like some phenomena in today's society, which are full of temptations of profit, making it easy for people to lose themselves and make some wrong choices. Therefore, the story of Liangshan is also a reminder to people to be vigilant against the risks and consequences that may be brought about by the drive of interests, not to be confused by the immediate interests, and to always keep in mind their original intention and mission, so as to be able to embark on the right path in life.
The story of Liangshan also sets some examples for people to know what kind of talent is a real hero. In the entire story of Liangshan, although there are many characters, there are very few people who can retreat bravely, see the situation clearly, and make the right choice, and only a very few people can do it.
And these people may be the real heroes in history, they don't care about what the outside world says about themselves, they can be armed with justice and courage, do something meaningful, and influence the people around them, and even the whole society. Therefore, the story of Liangshan also tells people what kind of talents are truly worthy of respect and learning, and they must shine in ordinary positions and make their own contributions to the development of society.
Epilogue:
There are many characters in Liangshan's story, and each character has his own rich life experience, which leaves a deep impression. And Wu Yong's image is also a very prominent one, his life experience is full of legends, and it also makes people think a lot about life.
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Wu Yong is not an admirable person, he has done a lot of hurtful things, and he has also brought great trouble to the heroes of Liangshan. But if you look at it from another angle, Wu Yong may be the real controller of Liangshan, and his life experience is also influencing the people around him, letting them know what kind of choice is the right one.
The story of Liangshan has also left a deep inspiration for people, letting people know what kind of talents are truly worthy of respect and learning, and also telling people to be wary of the risks and consequences that may be brought about by profit-driven.
Only after recognizing these truths can we go further and further on the road of life and live the way we want.
