In the 21st century, our love for Jin Yong's martial arts has not diminished. Those complex and vivid characters, the exciting plot, and the theme of benevolence and righteousness of the family and country all make these martial arts ** will not be defeated by the years and become our lingering reading.

Most of us believe that the protagonist is full of righteousness, and even if he is in trouble, he can always absorb and accumulate the power of divine help through the adventures of many lucky stars, and defeat all the ** forces with this. And the values behind such a setting are that evil does not prevail over good. However, if you only stop at this level, then you will not have an in-depth analysis of Jin Yong's martial arts world.

Now let's take a look at those villains in Jin Yong's pen. The crimes they committed were not punished as they should be, and wicked people like Cheng Kun were still alive and well despite all the bad things they had done. is like Murong Fu, who even lived to the end, and even the heroine and supporting actress became his puppets.

1. The villain in Jin Yong's mind

When it comes to villains, who do you think of? Some readers may first think of Zhao Min, the heroine of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer". Don't look at Zhao Min's young age, but she is a thoughtful, smart and clever villain, and her goal is to sweep away all the major factions in the Central Plains.

In the story of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", Jin Yong made bold innovations, and Zhao Min's character was moved by the love of the male protagonist to complete the transformation from ** to kindness, which brought a unique impact to readers. On the other hand, another heroine, Zhou Zhiruo, has taken a big test in the rivers and lakes, from a gentle and kind woman, to the darkness step by step.

This means that, although on the surface, Jin Yong's works seem to adhere to the setting of "good can suppress evil", but there is a spicy irony of "good people live short, and evil people live forever".

Especially after Jin Yong completed "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", his other classic book "Dragon Babu" more profoundly shows the view that "good people live short, and evil people live forever".

2. Good people live a short life, and wicked people live forever

In "Dragon Babu", we see with admiration that the protagonist Xiao Feng's love, righteousness and honor are finally besieged because of a letter that reveals the truth.

Xiao Feng's tragedy did not end there, just as he made a vow to spend the rest of his life with his lover, but killed her due to a misunderstanding, and the shocking ending made him wander to the Liao Kingdom alone, bearing the title of Emperor of the Liao State.

Why did this hero, who has the world in mind and a genius, suffer such a difficult fate? On the other hand, the other villains, they have committed countless crimes, but how many have suffered the punishment they deserve?

Since they are villains, their actions should be punished, but in Jin Yong's pen, they live peacefully. Especially Murong Fu, an outright villain, had the last laugh and was even favored by the heroine and supporting actress.

3. The heroine and supporting actress who are held in the palm of the hand by the villain

At the end of Jin Yong's newly revised version of "Dragon Babu", Wang Yuyan, who was originally affectionate to Duan Yu, abandoned him because he couldn't find Shendi and threw herself into Murong Fu's arms.

When Wang Yuyan reappeared in front of the reader, she had already shared a leisurely life with Murong Fu. They play a variety of roles every day, like a perfect little world, full of evil and love, sorrow and joy.

As readers, it may be difficult for us to understand why Jin Yong rewrote her ending, but I see this as a deep reflection of Murong Fu's ambivalent feelings.

Jin Yong's public opinion is that he hates his cousin, but he behaves like his cousin. In other words, he made his cousin-like character emerge in the story through the rewriting of "Dragon Babu", and even made him laugh to the end.

Indeed, after watching Jin Yong's martial arts**, I would say this: The contradictions and complexities of human nature are the most gorgeous materials in our writers' pens.
