Classic Chinese tales, regarded as dating back to the 14th Century and deemed one of the 'Four Great Classical Chinese Novels', featuring 108 different characters, some of them Robin Hood-style outlaws, others less morally likable. Each usually has an animal associated with them.
A clear influence on Jia Zhangke's A Touch of Sin. It is also of course an influence whenever there are bandits in a Chinese film, e.g. The One and the Eight, Red Sorghum, etc.
