Summary "水滸後傳" by Chen Chen is a historical novel likely written in the late 20th century. This work serves as a continuation of the famous "Water Margin," focusing on themes of loyalty, justice, and the struggles against corruption within the Song Dynasty. Key characters include阮小七, who represents the ideals of brotherhood and loyalty displayed by the original band of outlaws. At the start of the novel,阮小七 reflects on his past, revealing his frustration after serving as a military officer and returning to find his comrades from the Liangshan Outlaws dead or scattered. Following the death of his brothers and the subsequent betrayal by the ruling class, he decides to mourn his fallen comrades by visiting their former stronghold. While grappling with feelings of loss, he becomes embroiled in a conflict with local officials, which leads to a violent confrontation where he defends himself against an officer, setting the tone for the struggles that follow. The opening establishes阮小七's character as a figure of resilience and loyalty to his fallen brothers, foreshadowing his journey through turmoil within an unjust society.
