Background
The Water Margin describes Wang Ying as a short man with sparkling eyes. He is rough, impatient, lecherous, highly skilled in martial arts and capable of taking on 100 opponents at the same time. He is nicknamed "Stumpy Tiger" for his short stature.
Wang Ying was initially a carriage driver. He met a group of rich men and was overcome by greed and robbed them. He was arrested later and imprisoned, but managed to escape and had become an outlaw since then. He goes to Mount Qingfeng and leads a bandit gang there together with Yan Shun and Zheng Tianshou.
