Main Opnions

Bao Pengshan said that he likes "Water Margin" better than "Three Kingdoms". Not only because the heroes in "Shuihu" are different from the princes and generals in the "Three Kingdoms", but also the common people around us. More importantly, the water margin is about justice, right and wrong; the "Three Kingdoms" is about intrigue, cleverness and treachery. "Heaven must be made up of these simple characters in the water margin. People in the Three Kingdoms make up hell." He believes that a healthy society and a happy life need more justice than intrigue and cleverness.

Controversy

Bao Pengshan, friends jokingly called "baozi". Bao Zi's writing style is uninhibited, bloody, humorous and affectionate. In the 1990s, Jia Pingwa opened a column of "Rereading sages" in his 《Beautiful Literature》, which lasted for three years and gained great reputation. After Ji Xianlin and Yu Qiuyu, Bao Zi's academic prose is the leader of the new generation of scholars' prose, which shows the personality, interest and critical spirit of the new generation of Chinese intellectuals.

Mr. Bao is one of the few scholars who dare to tell the truth and speak angrily.
