Spanning 30 years, the six actors have interpreted Xia Xueyi, the stunning prodigal son, into completely different images, showing the colorful interpretation charm of the actors, and also showing the multiple possibilities of the same character in different eras. Shi Tian in 1976 is regarded as the most failed adaptation with the appearance of a weak scholar. In 1980, Ling Yun used supernatural martial arts to interpret Xia Xueyi's chivalrous courage. 
In 1981, Long Tianxiang's play was stunning and dazzling, but the shape was strange and wrong. In 1985, Miao Qiaowei portrayed Xia Xueyi more plump and three-dimensional with his veteran acting skills. In 2000, Jiang Hua's handsome appearance and outstanding acting skills perfectly fit the role of this young hero. In 2007, Jiao Enjun interpreted Xia Xueyi's movements into an elegant dance. The six can be said to have their own talents, and they all interpret this role with strong personal characteristics, with very different faces and styles, but each actor does his best to interpret it and keep the audience's eyes peeled. This shows the charm of excellent actors, superb acting skills can break through the limitations of appearance, and deduce the three-dimensional charm of classic roles with heart. 
The same role, six actors, bring six completely different experiences. This also confirms the plasticity of classic characters in different eras, and will present new possibilities because of the integration of the characteristics of the times and the style of the actors. While appreciating the role of Xia Xueyi, the audience also saw the infinite charm of the actors' creativity. It is this kind of innovative interpretation that makes the classic characters continue to shine in the passage of time. We look forward to more brilliant adaptations of Golden Snake Langjun, a stunning and romantic hero, to bring new surprises to the audience. Times are changing, actors are changing, but the charm of classic characters is eternal. In the TV series "Blue Blood Sword" launched by Jiashi in 1976, Shi Tian's Xia Xueyi's appearance was really shocking. Xia Xueyi, who is well known to the audience, was originally a peerless and uninhibited young talent, which made countless women in the rivers and lakes fascinated by him. 
But Shi Tian interpreted him as a weak, thin, well-dressed scholar, which was very different from the image in the original book, and did not restore Xia Xueyi's aura at all. Shi Tian looked lazy, and seemed to be blown away by the wind of the rivers and lakes at any time. His sad face didn't look like a character who could gallop the rivers and lakes at all. How could this weak image of a literati become a peerless stunner that women dream of? It's hard to imagine how ruthless and insidious he is. Not only is the appearance distorted, but Shi Tian's Xia Xueyi also has a bridge section that is not in the original book. He had a marriage with the heroine He Hongyao in the play, and later brutally betrayed her. This is undoubtedly adding a gratuitous stain on an already negative character. 
It can be said that regardless of the character design or plot arrangement, this version of Xia Xueyi deviates from the tone of the original work and is portrayed too thin and weak. Not only did it not reflect the charm of this character, but it also failed to show his ruthless side. Although Shi Tian's acting skills are outstanding, his appearance is too far from the character's aura. This is undoubtedly the most failed attempt to adapt Xia Xueyi's classic character in all versions. In 1980, the popular martial arts star Ling Yun played the role of Xia Xueyi in the Shaw Brothers film version, interpreting this suave prodigal son into a middle-aged chivalrous man who has experienced vicissitudes of life without losing his heroic appearance. Although he is no longer in his prime, Ling Yun is still scorching and agile. He interpreted Xia Xueyi as a middle-aged hero who was spicy and generous, fighting for righteousness and squandering money, and exuded an uninhibited chivalrous temperament in every gesture. 
Ling Yun has experienced a hundred battles, and each action is just right, showing Xia Xueyi's profound martial arts to the fullest. He is like flying and shooting like electricity, even if it is no longer the style of the year, but Varies is still as vigorous as ever, revealing Xia Xueyi's amazing martial arts. Ling Yun's face was full of pride, his eyes were bright, and he interpreted Xia Xueyi as a middle-aged chivalrous warrior with boiling blood and chivalrous bones. His wonderful martial arts performance perfectly interprets the uninhibited and unruly personality of this prodigal son of the rivers and lakes. Although he is a little old, Ling Yun's outstanding acting skills and action design have successfully restored Xia Xueyi's heroic posture. He played this role with great blood and skill, which impressed the audience. It can be said that Ling Yun used his middle-aged charm to interpret this prodigal son of the rivers and lakes vividly and vividly. His amazing acting skills and amazing movements have made this version of Xia Xueyi's classic. 
In the movie "Blue Blood Sword" released in 1981, Long Tianxiang's body shape is somewhat inconsistent with Xia Xueyi in the original book. In the book, Xia Xueyi is a thin young man, but Long Tianxiang's body is strong and thick, more like a Qiao Feng-style martial arts master. But this regret was quickly covered up by Long Tianxiang's excellent martial arts performance. He vividly displayed Xia Xueyi's unfathomable martial arts, and his fast and sharp fighting scenes were stunning. As Zhang Che's high-footed **, Long Tianxiang has a super-first-class foundation. The skills he showed on the screen were fast, sharp, and explosive, and every move was hearty and neat. Long Tianxiang's Xia Xueyi is skilled, fierce and restrained. Every move of his reveals a profound understanding of martial arts, and fully interprets Xia Xueyi's strong martial arts. 
This kind of fighting performance with a strong sense of picture largely makes up for Long Tianxiang's inconsistency in body type, and has become the most eye-catching highlight of this version of "Blue Blood Sword". However, it is a pity that in order to emphasize Xia Xueyi's serpentine martial arts, the crew designed a weird hairstyle for Long Tianxiang, which is a little incompatible with the image of this merry man. This gives the viewer a slight visual distortion. In short, Long Tianxiang's superb martial arts are impressive, but the mistakes in the modeling slightly weaken the perfection of the image. But his excellent martial arts performance still made this version of Xia Xueyi's unique skills and domineering. 
In 1985, Miao Qiaowei played the role of Xia Xueyi in the TVB version of "Blue Blood Sword". Unlike many previous versions, he is no longer a young talent, but incarnated as a middle-aged man with a high level of morality. Miao Qiaowei not only has a thick long beard, but also has a wife who is 20 years older than him, which is somewhat inconsistent with Xia Xueyi, a young man who should be amorous. But his excellent acting skills quickly dissolved this layer of concealment and interpreted Xia Xueyi into a richer connotation. His interpretation of Xia Xueyi is old and introverted, the city is quite deep, smiling, but his eyes are full of elusive depth and treachery. Miao Qiaowei used subtle expression changes to portray Xia Xueyi's character as mysterious and chilling. 
Although his appearance has aged, his eyes that seem to be smiling but not smiling, and they are still as sharp as electricity, exuding a dangerous aura. Miao Qiaowei interprets Xia Xueyi as a master with a deep city and a transcendent realm, and his amazing performance breaks through the shackles of age and shows the maturity of this character. It is his super acting strength that deduces this otherwise charming character into a more restrained and unfathomable charm through external transformation. Miao Qiaowei not only resolved the incongruity in styling, but also excavated Xia Xueyi's richer inner qualities. It can be said that Miao Qiaowei broke through the external restrictions with his excellent acting skills, and interpreted this classic role as three-dimensional and plump, both inside and outside. He successfully evolved Xia Xueyi, a prodigal son in the rivers and lakes, into a detached master, showing the powerful charm of the actor who gives a new life to the classics through mental sharpening. 
In the new version of TVB's "Blue Blood Sword" in 2000, Jiang Hua's Xia Xueyi can be said to have vividly interpreted this peerless romantic knight in Yushu Linfeng, which is deeply loved by the audience. Jiang Hua is not only handsome and upright, but also perfectly fits the character of Xia Xueyi, a young talent; His performance also brings out the multiple qualities of this character just right. He was at times suave and courteous; Sometimes wild and uninhibited, three points evil and seven points arrogant. Jiang Hua skillfully captured the fusion of multiple traits in Xia Xueyi's personality, portraying a complex and contradictory character vividly. When he smiled, he was like a literati who was as gentle as jade; When his eyes are gloomy, it makes people feel chills. Jiang Hua's rich facial expressions perfectly interpret Xia Xueyi's complex heart that fluctuates between good and evil.
He is sometimes suave and generous; Sometimes wild and uninhibited, swaying freely. Jiang Hua interprets Xia Xueyi as a charming character that the audience loves and hates, and perfectly captures the appeal of this character. It can be said that whether it is appearance or connotation, Jiang Hua has perfectly interpreted the role of Xia Xueyi. He drew a three-dimensional image of this classic character, blending light and shadow, which made the audience refreshing and impressive. Jianghua's version of Xia Xueyi can be described as charming, and has written the most eye-catching stroke for this merry man. He successfully gave a classic role a new life through his own interpretation, showing the infinite charm of the actor who rejuvenated the classic through painstaking efforts. In the 2007 mainland drama "Blue Blood Sword", Jiao Enjun interpreted Xia Xueyi's martial arts into a smart and light dance, presenting a visual feast for the audience.
He performed Xia Xueyi's movements softly and circuitously, like a spiritual snake dancing on the screen. This rhythmic approach is perfectly combined with the art design of the scene, drawing a flowing and elegant picture on the screen. Jiao Enjun fully interpreted Xia Xueyi's martial arts connotation through the fluidity of his limbs, and vividly showed the elegant, light, and agile characteristics of this character. The perfect rivalry between him and the heroine He Qing adds to the visual beauty. The two danced on the screen, and the wonderful action design and editing techniques brought a beautiful enjoyment to the audience. It's a pity that as a version that faithfully restores the original work, Xia Xueyi is destined to be only a supporting role. Despite his superb and vivid acting, Jiao Enjun's role is still a little lacking, and he fails to dig deeper into the richer inner qualities of this character.
But his unique way of interpreting the action does offer new possibilities for this classic character. Jiao Enjun opens up Xia Xueyi's new look as a dancer, showing the infinite space that actors can continue to enrich the charm of classic roles by exploring different aspects. From 1976 to 2007, the six actors interpreted the complex classic role of Xia Xueyi in their own ways, adding rich possibilities to this prodigal son. They transcended the times and deduced six completely different Xia Xueyi. Shi Tian is weak, Lingyun is uninhibited, Long Tianxiang is fierce, Miao Qiaowei is old, Jiang Hua is romantic, and Jiao Enjun is smart. The six actors imprint their own understanding on this character, presenting a multifaceted blend.
They are both inspired by the original book and do not stick to the original appearance, and carefully interpret the rich inner qualities of this character. Six people and six flavors, each with its own merits, lights up the smart heart of this classic character. Times are changing, actors are changing, but the role of Xia Xueyi will always be alive in their hands and continue to shine in time. It also shows the unlimited potential of good actors, who can provide continuous motivation and possibilities for classic roles. We look forward to seeing more brilliant versions of Xia Xueyi, a stunning hero, and continue to bloom under the interpretation of different actors. This is just like the scriptures themselves, which are constantly given new life under the baptism of time.
It's a fantastic chemistry between an actor and a classic character.
