Lin Chong, the leader of the 800,000 Forbidden Army, originally had a happy marriage and lived a stable life, but all this was ruined by a dangerous encounter.
If gao yunei flirted with Lin Niangzi when the temple was still willing, and Lin Chong could make a timely move, he might not be forced to Liangshan, but according to the plot afterwards, there would be no better result.
The most significant feature of Lin Chong's personality, one word can be summed up, is "forbearance". A leader of the 800,000 Forbidden Army, who has status, status, and family background, still needs to endure?
But all people with social attributes have weaknesses in the world, Lin Chong's identity status is the handle of arrogance within Gao Ya, and it is also a stumbling block to the decline of his life, but it is the hardships he has experienced that make his life belief more firm and more prominent of the glorious side of other people's humanity.
"Water Margin" is different from the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the heroes in the Three Kingdoms are a hero who pulls the wind as soon as they appear, such as Zhuge Liang, who is born a wise man, who understands astronomy and geography; Guan Yu was born the embodiment of righteousness, and Cao Cao's treachery is also innate. As for their cultivation process, the author does not pay attention to it.
Water Margin characters are different, for important roles, the author has an account of their life experience, especially for the elaboration of the character's social background, different social backgrounds create different character personalities, so as to make this character more plump.
Lin Chong is a character born under such a concept, he comes from life, carries ideological pressure, social pressure, falls into difficulties, and desperately survives, and finally disappears in life, seemingly in the novel, but in fact outside the novel.
He appeared in a battle robe, and in the talented capital, he could also be regarded as a small and accomplished officer. Life must be full of joy, do not let the golden bottle empty to the moon, when he is still immersed in a comfortable life, a thunder has been waiting for an opportunity to fall from the sky.
One day, he and his wife went to the temple to burn incense and make a wish, and it was also coincidental that after a while, Lady Lin was teased by Gao Yanei. Lin Chong heard that his wife had been teased, and rushed over very angrily.
His anger came from his own confidence, an eight hundred thousand forbidden army leader, his wife was flirted with in broad daylight, this is a great shame, he must be immediately settled.
However, when he ran over and pulled the man over to take a look, "he recognized that it was Honkan Takahata, and he first softened himself." His movements and demeanor reflect his inner world.
This person is the adopted son of his boss Gao Taiwei, the famous local "Flower Flower Is Too Old", but in view of the official prestige of the boss, Lin Chong is soft on himself, and this action well conveys what he is afraid of, that is, the complex social relations between people.
Facing Gao Yanei, he dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, dared to be angry and did not dare to fight, endured a breath, and let Gao Yanei go. At this time, the newly acquainted Jieyi brother Lu Zhishen came and came with a bunch of pimps to help him beat up the flirts.
At this time, Lin Chong seemed to be trying to save some of his own face, but he excused Gao Yunei, saying that he "did not recognize Jing Woman", which was a pure misunderstanding, and also expressed his helplessness in front of his friends, "Lin Chong did not eat his invitation, and let him this time." ”
But Lu Zhishen didn't care so much, he said, "The Shang family is afraid of him!" "If you bump into the bird, and teach him to eat the three hundred Zen staffs of the sprinklers." Lu Zhishen's social background is relatively simple, no family, no one dares to manage, do things by themselves, and are not too subject to the pressure of social relations, it can be said that the red stripe comes and goes without concern, which also cultivates his jealous and hateful character, friends are oppressed, and he can't stand it.
On the other hand, Lin Chong is a performance of being afraid of humiliation, which looks very despised. However, the author did not show mercy to Lin Chong's insults, but immediately followed him with one humiliating incident after another to temper him.
Gao Yanei took a second shot, this time he sought the help of Lin Chong's brother Lu Qian. Under the bribe of Gao Yanei, Lu Qian tricked Lin Niangzi into going upstairs, and after Lin Chong knew about it, he rushed to the scene to save niangzi.
The main person behind the incident was Gao Yanei, but Lin Chong did not pursue Gao Yanei's responsibility at this moment, but first smashed Lu Qian's home and bought a wrist-breaking knife to find Lu Qian to seek revenge. In other words, he once again gave up with Takahata, and once again lost to his job, salary, and boss.
Lin Chong's forbearance was exchanged for gao Ya's intensification, and the third time he simply came to the bottom of the pot to draw salary. Under the conspiracy, Lin Chong mistakenly entered the White Tiger Hall, violated the taboo, and was arrested and sent to Cangzhou.
His life had undergone earth-shaking changes because of the encounter with Gao Yanei, and Lin Chong's forbearance had not bought any benefits for himself, so why did he fall into it and dare not resist?
To sum up in Lin Chong's own words, "if you are not afraid of officials, you are afraid of management", he is a person who lives in the system, in his ideological world, wrapped in layer after layer of shackles, he cannot suddenly break through the ideological baggage formed by mainstream society for a long time.
Therefore, Lin Chong is the one who brought the mainstream society to the end, and only after that ushered in his Jedi counterattack. Lin Chong, in line with the goodness advocated by the mainstream of society, divorced his wife in order not to drag his wife down, hoping not to delay her youth. There is nowhere to complain about their grievances, and if they admit it, it is just a sentence.
On the way to Cangzhou, he showed even some disgusting cowardice, which was also a manifestation of his fantasies about mainstream society and secular civilian life. Deep down, he refused to become a man who turned his back on the Path of Heaven.
For the sake of the so-called Heavenly Dao, in the wild boar forest, he did not bother with Dong Chao and Xue Ba, but instead said good things for them in front of Lu Zhishen, and tolerated those who oppressed him and insulted him. When he arrived at the hay field, others were going to kill him, and he thought that people had given him a good errand and wanted to live there quietly.
Until all the truths surfaced, on that stormy and windy night, in the dilapidated mountain temple, he finally understood that his goodness, the morality he admired, could not be exchanged for a peaceful life.
Lin Chong completely broke out, he killed all those people, and he was finally forced to rebel. He understood that he had come to an end in that so-called mainstream society, that there was no way out, and that if he still wanted to live in the world, he could only rebel.
Therefore, Lin Chong's forbearance is not very stupid and naïve, he just adheres to the human morality advocated by mainstream society, and for this morality, he does everything possible to become a submissive. The harsh reality, however, is that decadent bureaucracy has long since occupied that dynasty, and the most shallow ideals of life have become difficult to achieve.
Therefore, Lin Chong's rebellion in "Water Margin" is the most revolutionary, and in that decadent world, he has experienced a humility that men cannot bear, and that humility still cannot be exchanged for a little living space. The purpose of his going to Liangshan was not to drink wine in a big bowl and eat meat like Li Kui, he just wanted to find a living space where he could be a dignified person.
Not understanding the suffering of others, not laughing at the stupidity of others, the "forbearance" in Lin Chong's personality just shows the brightest and greatest side of human nature. Personally, I think that Lin Chong is the most successful one among the many characters in "Water Margin", extremely realistic in life, far more cute than Song Jiang.
