Although Yan Po in The Water Margin had clever mind and a flexible tongue with blandishments,she did not do anything harmful.Among elderly women in old time,her prominent characteristics were shrewdness,competence,and secularity.Her indulgence and lack of education towards her daughter Yan Poxi had laid the foundation for subsequent tragedies.She had no relatives to rely on,wandering in strange places as an aged widow,and her daughter died tragically without receiving justice.Her tragic situation was truly pitiful.
