水浒传英文演讲稿五分钟 Here is a 5-minute English speech about Water Margin: Dear teachers and fellow students, Today I'd like to talk about one of the four great classical novels of Chinese literature - Water Margin, also known as Outlaws of the Marsh or All Men Are Brothers. Water Margin was written in the 14th century during the Yuan Dynasty. It depicts the life of 108 commoners and outlaws in the Song dynasty, how they stand up against corrupt officials and fight for justice. The main storyline follows how Song Jiang gathers the 108 heroes on Liangshan Marsh, turning them from a motley crew into an honorable band of warriors. They form alliances with anti-government forces and eventually receive amnesty from the emperor. Water Margin examines how power corrupts and the harsh realities faced by commoners. But it also shows the friendship and loyalty among the outlaws. The characters may be outlaws but they live by their own code of brotherhood and righteousness. They represent a sense of justice from the perspective of ordinary people. Many stories and characters in Water Margin have become household names. For example, Lin Chong the martial artist forced into exile, Lu Zhishen the monk nicknamed Flowery Monk for his skills with a staff, and the 108 Stars of Destiny - each hero with his own personality and skills. These characters symbolize a spirit of resistance against corruption. In conclusion, Water Margin is one of the most influential classic novels of China. It vividly reflects social conditions in ancient China, especially the fate of commoners. Its emphasis on brotherhood, loyalty and justice has inspired many generations of readers. I hope my brief introduction today can bring this great novel closer to you. Thank you. 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/78ddeda887254b35eefdc8d376eeaeaad0f3161d.html
