Among the 36 Tiangang stars in Liangshan, there are three well-known heroes, Lin Chong, Wu Song, and Zhu Tong. However, are their deeds really as glorious as the legend says?Let's uncover them one by one and find out if they are real heroes or hypocrites.
Lin Chong: A wife who fell out of favor and a friend who betrayed her.
Lin Chong is known as a good man, but his attitude towards his wife Lin Niangzi is thought-provoking. When Lin Niangzi was molested by Gao Yanei, Lin Chong chose to remain silent and did nothing about this matter. In the end, Lin Niangzi couldn't stand the harassment in Gao Yanei and chose to commit suicide.
In the wild boar forest, Lu Zhishen saved Lin Chong's life, but Lin Chong betrayally told Lu Zhishen's address to the messenger. This betrayal caused Lu Zhi to fall into a deep predicament and almost lost his life. Although Wang Lun finally took in Lin Chong, Lin Chong ruthlessly killed Wang Lun under the provocation of Wu Yong. A person who is ruthless to his wife, unjust to his friends, and unfaithful to his master, how to call him a good man, can only be a hypocrite at best!
Wu Song: Indiscriminate killing of innocent drunken heroes?
Wu Song killed the tiger on impulse and became the focus of people's praise as a hero. However, Wu Song's actions were not out of chivalrous spirit, but drunken impulsiveness. On the contrary, Wu Song repeatedly killed innocent people. In Happy Forest, he drunkenly beat Jiang Menshen for the turf of the gang leader, and killed fifteen people in a row in Yuanyang Tower, most of them innocent women.
In Centipede Ridge, Wu Song killed a little Taoist boy for no reason. knew that Sun Erniang was the owner of the black shop, but he became friends with him and let go of the person who should be killed. How can a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong and only has his own selfish desires in his eyes be called a real hero?
Zhu Tong: Righteous people or fools?
Zhu Tong has a good reputation, but his actions are also questionable. He did not have an obvious stain like Lin Chong, nor did he kill innocents indiscriminately like Wu Song. However, Zhu Tong's actions are mainly to help sinful friends. He was ordered to arrest the criminal Chao Gai and others, but he let go of the gang of criminals privately. When Song Jiang was arrested, he was released again.
Zhu Tong talks about righteousness, but the people he helps are really guilty, and he has never done chivalrous things for strangers. Whether he is truly a good man, rather than a fool who does not distinguish between right and wrong, is worth pondering.
Epilogue. These three heroes of Liangshan seem to be heroic and martial, but there are many unknown truths hidden in their deeds. Whether it is a hero or a hypocrite requires us to think deeply and not be blinded by the superficial aura. Perhaps, they are not as perfect as the legend says, but hide the dark side of humanity under the cloak of brilliance.
This article profoundly reveals the dark side of the three heroes of Liangshan—Lin Chong, Wu Song, and Zhu Tong—and makes people re-examine the heroic images praised in these traditional literature from another perspective. Through detailed examples and solid arguments, the author succeeded in presenting the actions of these characters in front of the reader, which caused me to think deeply.
First of all, for Lin Chong, the author reveals his indifference to his wife, Lin Niangzi, and even his indifferent behavior at critical moments. This indifference to family affection makes people question his status as a hero. And the treachery with his friend Lu Zhishen is even more impressive, showing that he can not hesitate to betray his friends for his own selfish interests, which is far from the quality that a traditional hero should have.
Secondly, Wu Song is portrayed in the article as a person who kills innocents indiscriminately and only cares about his own selfish desires. Although he was hailed as a hero for killing a tiger, the author points out that his actions were not motivated by a righteous act of doing harm to the people. Wu Song's deeds in Happy Forest and Mandarin Duck Tower, as well as the plot of killing children in Centipede Ridge, all show that he is a pseudo-hero who does not distinguish between right and wrong and only cares about his own selfish desires. This point has led me to reflect on the traditional image of heroes, whether heroes should truly represent justice and fairness in action
In the end, although Zhu Tong has a relatively good reputation, the author positions him as a fool who does not distinguish between right and wrong by revealing his connivance with his guilty friends and his avoidance of real righteous deeds. This choice of righteousness and justice not only calls into question his actions, but also calls into question the moral level of the entire Liangshan heroic group.
Overall, this article challenges people's stereotypes of traditional heroes through an in-depth analysis of the three heroes of Liangshan, forcing us to re-examine these heroes who have been celebrated. The structure of the article is compact and the argument is strong, which makes the reader fall into the quagmire of speculation. Perhaps, this kind of cold-eyed observation of traditional heroes is a precious intellectual wealth given to us by literary works.
