Sun Erniang's life is full of challenges and pain, and her life is even more poignant compared to the other two female characters in "Water Margin", Gu Sister-in-law and Hu Sanniang.

She was born in a poor family, lost her mother's love at a very young age, and only her seriously ill father depended on her for her life, which was an unbearable pressure for her and the impermanence of society.

In the prime of her youth, a terrible tragedy struck her. She and her father inadvertently helped a few beggars, but they were ungrateful and sold her innocent to a dark green house. This sudden disaster had a great blow to the spirit of this weak woman.

Luckily, the god of fate threw a compassionate look at her. In a place called Cross Slope, she meets a partner who is willing to shelter her from the elements. I thought that a new chapter would open in her life, but the trauma of the past made her more determined and decisive.

Here, she interprets the robbery of the rich and the help of the poor in her own way, although the means seem a little cruel, but invisibly reveals an inviolable justice.

In the eyes of outsiders, Sun Erniang, who is known as "Dominatrix", is awe-inspiring, but she always has a chivalrous heart in her heart. For those cunning villains, she will never be soft and give severe punishments; But to those kind ordinary people, she showed infinite love and warmth. Such a character shows her deep understanding of the world and her unwavering pursuit.

However, fate always seems to like to joke around when people least expect it. Thinking that she had escaped the misfortune, she was finally unable to escape the arrangement of fate.

She joined Liangshan and bravely threw herself into the fierce battle against Fang La. In this long and brutal war, he first lost his beloved partner, and then he was seriously injured in the bloody storm and died due to a poisoned arrow.

Although Sun Erniang's life is full of twists and turns and tribulations, this shows a woman's tenacious will to survive and indomitable spiritual quality in that turbulent era.

Her tragic story not only reveals the chaos and darkness of society in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, but also reflects the injustices and helplessness experienced by ordinary women in the feudal society at that time.

In our eyes, Sun Erniang is not only a microcosm of women in an era, but also a manifestation of the unremitting pursuit of happiness, self-esteem and equality.

When we look back at Sun Erniang's life, we can't help but feel emotional. However, this seemingly savage woman, who is actually full of tenderness and justice in her heart, has taught us how to hold on to our faith in the face of adversity, and how to maintain tenacity and courage in the face of difficulties. She left a unique figure in "Water Margin" and has become a female image worthy of our eternal remembrance in the long river of history.
