The endings of the characters in Water Margins varied from one work to another, but generally speaking, it was difficult to determine who had a good ending because many characters had very tragic endings. For example, Lin Chong was forced to surrender after being recruited at Liangshan Lake. Hu Sanniang married Wang Ying at Liangshan Lake, but she was killed by the good men of Liangshan Lake soon after marriage. Zhu Tong was framed by Marshal Gao and sentenced to death after going to Liangshan Lake with the good men of Liangshan Lake. Lu Zhishen was subdued by Song Jiang and others at Liangshan Lake. He took many risks to save Song Jiang, but unfortunately, he died in the end. Therefore, the characters in Water Margins had tragic endings and it was difficult to determine who had a good ending.
