When we mention Jin Yong's martial arts world, different people will have their own interpretations and preferences. In 2018, Mr. Jin Yong left us, but his works are like an eternal light, shining in the palace of Chinese martial arts culture, leaving endless nostalgia and admiration for future generations.
If you want to ask which Jin Yong's work you like the most, it is estimated that everyone's answers are different. Some people are obsessed with the thrilling of "The Condor Trilogy", some people are keen on the fantasy and magnificence of "Dragon Babu", and some people are deeply resonant with the twists and turns of "Smiling Proud Jianghu".
However, which of Jin Yong's works do you think feels the most mysterious and strange?
First of all, let's take a look at "Dragon Babu", which was once regarded as Jin Yong's arrogant work in the martial arts world. ** Such as "Eight Desolations and Six Combinations of Solitary Martial Arts", "Six Veins Divine Sword", "Flame Knife" and other magical and masterful martial arts, seem to subvert the traditional idea of martial arts.
Moreover, the protagonist setting of "Dragon Babu" also breaks through the convention. Duan Yu, Xu Zhu, and Xiao Feng, the three protagonists have their own story lines, but they are intertwined with each other to form a whole. As for who is the real protagonist, it is difficult to generalize, and people have different opinions.
Some people may think that "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" is more unique. When Jin Yong tells a lot of descriptions of Guo Xiang at the beginning of the book, making readers mistakenly think that Guo Xiang is the protagonist, he abruptly ends Guo Xiang's career.
Later, Zhang Cuishan became the main narrator of Jin Yong's story. Jin Yong told how Zhang Cuishan met Yin Susu, his encounter with the golden lion king Xie Xun and his legendary experience on ** Island. However, when Zhang Cuishan killed himself in Wudang Mountain, the reader realized that Zhang Cuishan was not the protagonist.
However, "Yue Nu Sword" may be Jin Yong's most "wonderful" work. Although its characters are not numerous, they are attractive in a unique way. There are only a few characters, such as A Qing, Bai Gonggong, Fan Li, Xi Shi, King Yue, and King Wu, and the whole work seems to be more like history than martial arts.
In the book, only Ah Qing and Bai Gonggong are real martial arts masters. And Ah Qing's image is so unique, she does not seem to be a "decent" character who conforms to the traditional definition, but more like a "villain" with selfishness.
The Sword of the Yue Girl is the most distinctive part of Jin Yong's creative world. Whether it is in the short length, the small number of characters, or the evil protagonist, they are all very different in the "Golden Book". For those who have seen this work, what do you think?
