Jin Yong's weirdest work: The hero and heroine are both villains, but the final winner is the enemy of the protagonist!
Do you think that in Jin Yong's martial arts, there will always be two opposing forces of good and evil, and the righteous side in the ending will always defeat or influence the ** side. But the short story "Yue Nu Sword" broke this tradition.
The background of the story is set in the late Spring and Autumn period when Wu and Yue fought for hegemony, and the Yue Kingdom was besieged on Huiji Mountain by Wu Wangfucha. In order to protect himself and his soldiers, Goujian, the king of Yue, surrendered to Fucha and became a prisoner of war of King Wu. However, Gou Jian was not sincere, and he and his adviser Fan Li jointly planned how to defeat the Wu State.
Fan Li bribed the ministers of King Wu and sent the beauty Xi Shi to coax the husband to be happy and ignore government affairs. At the same time, Fan Li secretly fought hard, waiting for the opportunity to turn over. However, Yue was inferior to Wu in making weapons, so Fan Li began to look for a master who could forge swords.
In the process, A-Qing appeared. She is a shepherdesss girl in the village, and by chance she met a white ape with a swordsmanship, and through practicing with the white ape, Ah Qing realized the unfathomable swordsmanship.
After Fan Li saw Ah Qing's ability, he invited her to guide the swordsmen of Yue to practice swords. Ah Qing agreed to Fan Li's request and made great achievements in swordsmanship. However, in getting along with Fan Li, Ah Qing gradually realized his feelings for him, but Fan Li only had the beauty Xi Shi in his heart.
Although Fan Li had a deep affection for Xi Shi, for the great cause of Yue Guo, he still sent Xi Shi to Wu State. Ah Qing regarded Xi Shi as an enemy and had murderous intentions, but when she saw Xi Shi, she was deeply moved by her beauty and gave up her killing intent. However, the sword was already pointed at Xi Shi, and the sword qi hurt her heart, making her feel unbearable pain. In the end, Xi Shi held his heart and passed away with the most beautiful posture.
After Ah Qing left, Fan Li also resigned from the official position of King Yue and lived an ordinary life with Xi Shi. They were boating on Taihu Lake and enjoying their happiness.
This story allows us to see the strangest scene in Jin Yong**: the hero and heroine are both villains, but the final winner is the protagonist's enemy. Ah Qing could have had a peaceful and leisurely life, but because she met Fan Li, she couldn't love it. Fan Li's appearance doomed Ah Qing to a bleak end, but Xi Shi, who was regarded as an enemy by Ah Qing, could spend the rest of his life with Fan Li.
This story teaches us that love and fate are not always treated fairly. Sometimes, even if you try your best, you can't change the end result. This also makes us think, should we give up everything, including our own feelings, for the sake of the great cause?
Mr. Jin Yong has created such a thought-provoking story with his unique brushstrokes, which makes readers fall into contemplation. In this story, Mr. Jin Yong skillfully depicts the complexity of human nature and the impermanence of fate, showing the conflict and choice between love and sacrifice.
At the same time, this story also expresses Jin Yong's unique understanding of the image of women. Ah Qing is a female figure with tenacity and brave qualities, and she has gained respect and recognition through her efforts and talents. However, in the entanglement of love and fate, she finally chose to let go, showing a noble sentiment that transcends personal desires.
On the other hand, Xi Shi as a female image also presents a soft and charming image, her beauty is moving, the country is captivating, but it is doomed to her tragic ending. This kind of shaping of women's images not only shows Jin Yong's praise and understanding of women, but also reflects his concern and thinking about the fate of women.
