Sitting on a Mountain Carving is a character in the novel, formerly known as Zhang Leshan, who is the bandit leader of Hu Weishan! Mountain carving is a typical representative of bandit leaders in that era and a representative image of a class of people! In other words, Zhang Leshan was not the only one who carved mountains. He is a figure dominated by many bandit leaders such as Zhang Leshan and Xie Wendong.

In real history, the mountain carving was not killed by Yang Zirong, but was taken to Mudanjiang prison to serve his sentence. Zhang Leshan is a tall and thin old man, ugly ... but his eyes are shining and his energy is very good. Later, it was said that Zuo Shandiao killed many devils during the Anti-Japanese War, so there was no public trial. He was a heavy smoker and caused other diseases. A year later, he died in prison.

Qu Bo, the original author, went to the prison to talk with the person in charge of Zuoshan carver when he was writing Lin Yuan. Part of the material in the book also comes from the communication with Zuoshan Carver himself. Zhang Leshan is a native of Miao Zhuang Village, Long Ting Township, xintai city. He was born in 1882. He had seven brothers, and he was the third, so he was later called "Third Master".

Zhang Leshan, a mountain carving, was not a big bandit in Northeast China at that time, but his family was a habitual bandit for three generations. He has been a bandit for decades and has rich experience. It is not easy to catch him.

At that time, the biggest bandit leader in Northeast China was Xie Wendong, the commander-in-chief of the 18th Army appointed by the Kuomintang. Xie Wendong joined the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance. During the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, he defeated the Japanese army repeatedly and even killed a colonel, which was very prestigious. Later, after surrendering to Japan, he refused to be a traitor and just became an ordinary worker. After Japan surrendered, he accepted the appointment of the Kuomintang and became an anti-GC bandit. Later, he was captured alive and executed after a public trial. Including "Tiger Mountain to Go", are all mountain carving stories that combine the events of these two people.

According to a passage in the postscript of Lin Yuan written by Qu Bo himself, a mountain carving lamented that he had been captured alive by * * * army investigators, calling himself "Cui Mou". But there is no relevant information to confirm his surname Cui. Let's get this straight.
