Water Margin Sequel

Shui Hu Hou Zhuan / 水滸後傳: The First English Translation of Chen Chen's Historical Classic

by Chen ChenTranslated by Valentin Sarić

For the first time in history, the 17th-century classic sequel to Water Margin is available in a complete English edition.

The story of the 108 outlaws of Liangshan Marsh did not end with their tragedy. In Shui Hu Hou Zhuan (水滸後傳), author Chen Chen picks up the threads of loyalty, rebellion, and brotherhood to tell the definitive fate of the survivors.

A World in Turmoil

As the Song Dynasty faces internal corruption and the looming threat of the Jin invasion, the surviving heroes find themselves at a crossroads. Led by the defiant Ruan Xiaoqi, the remnants of the Liangshan band must choose between a life of quiet submission or one final stand for justice.

What Awaits You Inside:

  • The Return of Legends: See the journey of beloved characters as they navigate a world that has forgotten their sacrifices.
  • Historical Grandeur: A vivid portrayal of the transition between the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties.
  • A New Frontier: Follow the heroes beyond the borders of China in a quest to establish a land where the "Way of Heaven" truly prevails.
  • Martial Brilliance: Classic Wuxia action blended with deep political and philosophical insights.

The Definitive English Edition

This edition brings Chen Chen's late-Ming/early-Qing masterpiece to life for the modern reader. It bridges the gap in one of the "Four Great Classical Novels" of Chinese literature, offering the closure and catharsis that fans of the original Water Margin (All Men Are Brothers) have sought for centuries.
