In the long river of history, many heroes shine like stars, and Wu Song is undoubtedly one of the most brilliant and colorful characters in "Water Margin". People's impression of Wu Song often stays in his heroic deeds, such as killing the tiger in Jingyanggang with his bare hands, killing Ximen Qing in the lion tower, drunkenly beating Jiang Menshen, etc., and his image of infinite scenery and happiness and enmity is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. However, what few people know is that Wu Song's life is actually full of endless misery and vicissitudes.
In the original book, there is no explicit mention of Wu Song's parents, but from his very different appearance from Wu Dalang, it seems that the difference in their childhood experiences can be glimpsed. Wu Song is tall and burly, about 1.8 meters long, with a strong physique, aggressive nature and amazing strength; However, Wu Dalang is short in stature, only about one meter four, short and fat and ugly, with a cowardly personality, and is nicknamed "three-inch Dinggu bark". With such a huge difference between the brothers, it may be speculated that Wu Dalang shouldered the burden of the family prematurely when he was a teenager. In order to make a living, he may have to carry the burden of steamed buns on his shoulders every day, and sometimes even carry the young Wu Song on his back. The heavy pressures of life all weighed on his young shoulders, and his malnutrition led to him finally growing into such a short appearance. And Wu Song can have such a tall and strong physique, perhaps because Wu Dalang left all the delicious food to his younger brother, and he is willing to eat bran vegetables. In this way, the two are nominally brothers, but in fact, Wu Dalang plays the role of a father. The ancients often said that "the eldest brother is like a father", which has been most truly reflected in this pair of brothers.
Even though Wu Dalang worked hard to make up for Wu Song's lack of fatherly and maternal love, this still failed to change Wu Song's gradually developed violent character. Once, Wu Song directly killed someone in a fight, and in desperation, he had to go away and take refuge in Chai Jinzhuang. However, Wu Song's temper during the refuge period was still not restrained, and he loved to beat people and frighten people when he drank a little alcohol, and if someone did not serve him well, he would also be beaten violently. Wu Song, who was supposed to act according to people's faces, made the whole Zhuang people disgusted with him, so that he fell into the situation of taking charcoal and burning the fire by himself. Coincidentally, he met Song Jiang again at this time, Wu Song accidentally knocked over the charcoal basin, and wanted to kill Song Jiang with one punch, but fortunately he was persuaded by others, otherwise the story of "Water Margin" may end early. At this time, Wu Song was tantamount to a "stupid white sweet" without a city government, and when he met an old and sophisticated person like Song Jiang, he was quickly taken care of. Under the influence of Song Jiang, Wu Song was quickly subdued, and it didn't take long for him to call "brother, brother" non-stop.
Subsequently, it was the famous Jingyanggang tiger fight, which achieved Wu Song's reputation as a "tiger hero". At this point, Wu Song had the opportunity to return to his hometown to reunite with his brother, and thus met Pan Jinlian, a key figure who affected his fate. At that time, Wu Song was undoubtedly happy, he finally had a decent appearance in front of everyone, killed a tiger, became the head of the capital, and became half of the people in the system, not only got the care of the county lord, but also married a sister-in-law who was like a flower. For Wu Song, whose parents died when he was a child, this is tantamount to having a pair of parents again. And the beginning of the story often seems extremely gentle, Wu Dalang treats Wu Song as much as ever, and Pan Jinlian also cares for Wu Song at first. For Wu Song, although Pan Jinlian is nominally a sister-in-law, she makes up for the role of a mother to some extent. However, Pan Jinlian didn't know about this, she only knew that Wu Song, who fought the tiger, was a big hero in Yanggu County, and a woman's natural love for the strong made her love for Wu Song even more, and when she looked at the dark, short and ugly Wu Dalang at night, this love became more and more difficult to suppress. After that, she and Wu Song launched a series of extreme pulls. Wu Song, who treated his sister-in-law as a mother, was grateful verbally, and bought a delicate red silk, in his opinion, this is a manifestation of filial piety to his elders, and it is a human morality. But Pan Jinlian doesn't understand this, she has seen a lot of scoundrels who tease her, she only thinks that Wu Song is interesting to herself, she thinks that she looks like a moon, and her eyes can charm people's hearts when she turns around, which man can not be moved when he sees it?
Finally, on an afternoon when no one was around, Pan Jinlian dressed up carefully, prepared a table of sumptuous wine and food, and launched her love offensive against Wu Song. This time Wu Song was stunned, he thought: "I treat you as my mother's filial piety, you actually want to be good with me?" This huge contrast has created a series of famous scenes after Wu Song. Pan Jinlian was also stunned, why didn't her charm work? Under all kinds of doubts and troubles, Pan Jinlian was angry, first beat a rake, and had a big quarrel with Wu Song, saying that Wu Song bullied women, and the two had a very unpleasant quarrel. It wasn't until the appearance of Ximenqing that Pan Jinlian regained her self-confidence, however, this also rehearsed a tragedy for Wu Dalang and Wu Song.
When Wu Song returned from a business trip, his life came to an important watershed. The people in the entire Yanggu County don't know that the tiger fighting hero in front of him has actually gradually turned into a humanoid demon, and he is the Tai Sui God in the world. The only person who can make him understand etiquette and reason is the "three-inch Dinggu bark" Wu Dalang, but this Wu Dalang died tragically. At first, Wu Song also considered using legal means to seek justice for his brother, but whether it was Wang Po or Ximen Qing, all legal channels were blocked from the beginning, and the entire judicial system of Yanggu County was controlled by Ximen officials. Even if Wu Song is upright and has outstanding ability, it is difficult to shake Ximenqing by half a point, and this is precisely where Wang Po and Ximenqing's confidence lies, and it is also the conventional thinking of most normal people. Could it be that Wu Erlang really dared to kill people? That killing people is illegal, how dare he do illegal things? But the problem is that Wu Song really dares. He went crazy, and as a result, he did it in broad daylight, and he did it without concealing it afterwards, and surrendered directly. At this time, there was another disgusting scene in the judicial system of Yanggu County, if it weren't for their inaction, it would not have been Wu Song's turn to kill people on the street. But if you kill, you will kill, and if you break the law, you will break the law, but Wu Song has also won the general sympathy and support of the people, and the officials can only push the boat down the river, and after commuting his sentence many times, he will be assassinated in Mengzhou. At this time, Wu Song no longer cared whether he was a civilian or a criminal, the only brother who could keep him in peace had passed away, and he was alone, simply living as he wanted.
Since then, whether it is drunkenly beating Jiang Menshen, or meeting Zhang Dujian, or making trouble in Feiyunpu, Wu Song has shown the image of the Tai Sui God in the world who has no scruples. Especially in Feiyunpu, Wu Song not only showed the powerful combat power of the first martial arts master in "Water Margin", but also interpreted his demonic temperament to the extreme. Not to mention whether other heroes can escape death in Feiyunpu, even if they survive, who would dare to turn around and kill a horse pistol? In the Mandarin Duck Tower, Wu Song killed 19 people in a row, and even left his name on the wall afterwards. From this moment on, Wu Song gradually became the god of killing in the world. Every time he killed someone after that, he had no scruples, and even fell into it and couldn't extricate himself. At this time, only a year has passed since he fought the tiger in Jingyanggang. In just one year, Wu Song has experienced from a civilian to a hero who fights tigers, from the head of the system to a reckless man who fights and kills Ximenqing, and finally becomes a demon who kills countless people. Perhaps Wu Song before this was really living in this world, with the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of ordinary people. But after that, Wu Song was nothing more than making up the numbers in the world, whether he was talking or doing things or killing people, he just did what he wanted. He didn't look down on fame and fortune, but he captured Fang La alive; He had all the strength, but in the end he ended up with a broken arm. He could kill the tiger of Jingyanggang, but he could not defeat the even greater "black tiger" of the Great Song Dynasty. In the end, on the way back, Wu Song left the team alone and continued to live a lonely and bleak life.
Wu Song's fate is so tragic, his life is full of ups and downs and twists and turns. He struggles in a dark society, torn between the good and evil of human nature. His story is not only a heroic legend, but also a profound critique of that era and a deep reflection on human nature. His experience allows us to see the injustice and darkness of society, and also makes us feel the complexity and helplessness of human nature. His story will forever be remembered in the long river of history and become a classic for people to constantly discuss and think about. While lamenting Wu Song's fate, we should also learn from his story, cherish our current life, and strive to create a more fair, just and harmonious society. Let us remember Wu Song's story and let his spirit always inspire us to keep moving forward. #头条创作挑战赛##爆料##水浒传##水浒传人物探讨#
