Yang Lin (Water Margin) - Joining Liangshan

Joining Liangshan

Yang Lin becomes a wandering outlaw and befriends Gongsun Sheng. Dai Zong goes to find Gongsun Sheng. Dai Zong meets Yang Lin by coincidence and they travel together. They pass by Yinma River and meet the bandits there led by Pei Xuan, Deng Fei and Meng Kang. Dai Zong invites them to join Liangshan and they agree. Yang Lin follows Dai Zong back to Liangshan later after they got acquainted with Shi Xiu at Jizhou (present-day Ji County, Tianjin).

When the Liangshan outlaws attack the Zhu Family Village, Yang Lin volunteers to work as a spy for Liangshan. He disguises himself as a priest and starts marking the roads in the village. He is discovered by an enemy patrol and captured. He is only released after the village falls to the outlaws.

Famous quotes containing the word joining:

    Women will not advance except by joining together in cooperative action.... Unlike other groups, women do not need to set affiliation and strength in opposition one against the other. We can readily integrate the two, search for more and better ways to use affiliation to enhance strength—and strength to enhance affiliation.
    Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
