This book tells the legendary story of Wang Mang usurping the Han Dynasty and Liu Xiu uprising and destroying the Xin Dynasty in the late Western Han Dynasty.

This book tells the legendary story of Xu Liang, Bai Yunrui and other chivalrous swordsmen during the Northern Song Dynasty, who wiped out the evil forces in the world and protected the country of the Song Dynasty. This book is a follow-up to Shan Tianfang's "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" series of chivalrous storytelling, which contains almost all the characteristics of short-playing books. In terms of influence, this book is no less than Yuan Kuocheng's "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and Liu Lanfang's "The Story of Yue Fei"; in terms of artistic achievement, this book can be regarded as the first choice for short-term storytelling. "White Eyebrow Hero" has become the most famous signature of Shan Tianfang's storytelling. "The White Eyebrow Hero" made Shan Tianfang a success, and Shan Tianfang also made "The White Eyebrow Hero" a success.

13 Yuan Kuocheng's "Water Margin": a short book.

This book tells the legendary story of the struggle between the heroes of Shuibo Liangshan and the government in the late Northern Song Dynasty.

15 Liu Lanfang's "The Biography of Yue Fei": Book on the robe.

This book tells the story of the legendary life of the loyal commander Yue Fei and Yue Pengju in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, as well as the story of Yue Lei's sweep of the north. Liu Lanfang broadcast this book in the late 1970s, which caused crowds to empty out and radios to sell out. It was more influential than Yuan Kuocheng's "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". But after all, the book itself, although it has certain artistic features and achievements, is more name than reality. The social environment and cultural atmosphere at that time were important factors in the success of this book. It is precisely "the times create heroes." Many storytelling works originate from novels and are higher than novels, but this "Yue Fei Biography" does not achieve this achievement. In general, this book is Liu Lanfang's famous work and has unprecedented influence, but it is not his highest artistic achievement. In addition, the script of this book was selected into the top ten traditional storytelling by Chunfeng Publishing House.

This book is a chivalrous storytelling adapted by Liu Lanfang based on the first two (to eight) original works by Feng Jiawen. The plot is tortuous and fascinating; the flashes of swords and the love between children are comparable to the world written by the martial arts master Jin Yong. Liu Lanfang's performance of this book is faithful to the original work and portrays the characters well, especially the love between children and children. It makes people think deeply and cannot stop listening. This book is Liu Lanfang's proud work of short-form storytelling.
