Did the descendants of Ruan Xiaoer, Xiaowu and Xiaoqisan in Liangshan escape to Vietnam today?

Aside from the fictional elements of Water Margin itself, according to the records of Water Margin, only Ruan Xiaoer among Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan got married.

Among Ruan Sanxia, Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu eventually died in the battle of Fang La, while Ruan was recruited by the imperial court and later demoted as a civilian for wearing a dragon robe privately. Finally, he and Ruan's mother returned to the water margin and made a living by fishing until he was lonely.

Even if Ruan Xiaoer's descendants can survive after their father's death, their chances of successfully escaping to distant Vietnam are slim, let alone spreading branches and leaves in Vietnam.

So does Ruan Jinyong have anything to do with China? Yes, Ruan Jinyong first moved here from China.

According to relevant local records, Nguyen in Vietnam is basically a descendant of Nguyen in Chenliu (Kaifeng, Henan).

Historically, Chen Liuruan had three experiences of moving south to Vietnam. The first time happened after the Western Wei Dynasty destroyed the Liang Dynasty. Chen Liuruan first moved to Hunan and Hubei respectively, then this Hunan continued to move to Guangxi and finally entered Vietnam. The Hubei branch finally moved to Fujian and Guangdong, becoming the first generation of Ruan family in Fujian and Guangdong, and their descendants will move to Vietnam later.

The second time happened in the Chen dynasty, and this time the main force was the Ruan family in Fujian and Guangdong. The first generation of Ruan people in Fujian and Guangdong settled down and gradually started maritime trade, so they had contact with the first batch of Ruan people who arrived in Vietnam.

After the first batch of Chen Liuruan arrived in Vietnam, with the advanced brains and production technology of Central Plains people, its influence gradually developed and expanded in Vietnam. Ruan's family in Fujian and Guangdong took a fancy to the strength of Ruan's family in Vietnam and decided to move to Vietnam. At this time, Nguyen Tan Dung in Vietnam also urgently needed labor to consolidate his power and territory, and the two hit it off. Therefore, the Ruan family began to move to Vietnam on a large scale in Fujian and Guangdong.

The third time happened around 1 127, when the minority regime Jin invaded the Song Dynasty. For security reasons, Chen Liuruan had to move south again. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Mongolian fighters went deep into the south of the Yangtze River. Chen Liuruan, who had previously moved to Hangzhou and Nanjing, had to flee again and finally fled to Vietnam, becoming the third batch of Chen Liuruan who entered Vietnam.

Ruan, who moved to Vietnam, brought the advanced production technology and experience of the central dynasty to the local area, thus flourishing in the local area and gradually establishing his own sphere of influence. The Ruan clan in the Central Plains first developed in southern Vietnam, and finally its territory expanded to the northern region, until the Ruan regime was established nationwide. With rapid development and strong strength, Nguyen gradually became the first local surname in Vietnam.
