The fragment of Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian in the Water Margin has always been talked about by everyone. Many people really have doubts about how Wu Dalang, who is ugly, married a beautiful Pan Jinlian. When it comes to this place, we need to correct it. In ancient times, there were indeed a couple like Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian, but they were not as described in the Water Margin.

In the Water Margin, Wu Dalang and Ximen Qing were completely vilified. In the prototype of the story, Pan Jinlian was originally a servant girl of a rich man's family. Because of her beautiful appearance, the rich man always coveted Pan Jinlian and wanted to take him as his concubine. But the old lady of the rich man's family is a very strong woman. She is afraid that one day Pan Jinlian will enter the room, so when the rich man is not at home, she will marry Pan Jinlian to others casually.

And Wu Dalang didn't take too much silver, so he redeemed Pan Jinlian and married him at home. So for this layer of doomed love, Pan Jinlian is always a victim, because he can't even control his own destiny and let others buy and sell. In fact, Pan Jinlian would have been happy if he hadn't met Ximen Qing, because although Wu Dalang was ugly and short, he had certain life skills, and he had a two-story house facing the street, which was a middle-class family.

Blame only Pan Jinlian's beauty. When she met such a handsome prodigal son as Ximen Qing, she was deceived by Ximen Qing and made a mistake. If placed in today's society, perhaps Pan Jinlian is not a sinful woman, because her life experience is relatively poor. In my opinion, everyone has the right to choose happiness, but Pan Jinlian was born in the wrong era, and Pan Jinlian deserves more pity than some women in the entertainment circle now.
