Hua Tie destroyed Shui Sheng's innocence, why didn't Di Yun kill it
Under Jin Yong's pen, "Liancheng Jue" is the last thing readers want to reread. Although this ** has an excellent performance in storytelling, character creation and meaning expression, it is not even inferior to "The Condor Trilogy", but because the world of rivers and lakes depicted in the book is too cruel, it makes people feel extremely chilled and chills down their backs after reading it.
For example, when I was a child, I saw Hua Tiegan eating meat in the snow mountain, and I was scared to eat meat for many years, and even left a psychological shadow. I have to sigh that the image of Teacher Liu's Hua Tiegan is very well shaped.
When I watched "Liancheng Jue" when I was a child, Hua Tiegan left the deepest impression on me, and even I never understood why Di Yun didn't kill him? After all, Hua Tie did a lot of bad things when he was in the snow mountain.
Hua Tiegan once poisoned Di Yun, and also robbed Di Yun and Shui Sheng's food. He was worried that Shui Sheng would reveal his secrets, so he preemptively struck. Hua Tiegan led others to slander Shui Sheng, causing her to lose her innocence and be spurned by the public, and even her cousin Wang Xiaofeng lost trust in her.
In the shadow of being slandered, Shui Sheng's heart was like ashes and he almost committed suicide. When I saw this paragraph when I was a child, I always felt that Wang Xiaofeng didn't believe that Shui Sheng was wrong, because he believed in Hua Tiegan's innocence.
However, now I understand, because Hua Tiegan has a lofty position in the rivers and lakes, and human nature is like this, he always tends to think badly, and is only willing to believe what he thinks, ignoring the truth.
So, Hua Tie has done so many bad things, why did Di Yun let him go? I didn't understand it when I was a child, but when I grew up, I realized that Hua Tiegan was not a heinous person in the strict sense.
In "Liancheng Jue", there are too many wicked people, and Hua Tiegan is not on the list.
Hua Tiegan changed from a high-spirited master of a sect to what he looked like later, all because he was alive. He was not greedy for life and afraid of death at first, but his state of mind was shattered step by step by the Blood Knife Ancestor, making him completely depraved.
He first killed his brother by mistake, and felt guilty and self-reproaching in his heart, a bad person would not have this kind of emotion. Then I saw my brothers die tragically one by one and completely collapsed. In his heart, the Blood Knife Ancestor was an invincible devil.
Even Shui Sheng, the third-rate strength of the rivers and lakes, sees that the Blood Knife Ancestor is the end of the strong crossbow.
Hua Tiegan is no longer the invincible Zhongping he once was, but a lamb to be slaughtered, and he no longer has the courage to resist the Blood Knife Ancestor. While his actions were hateful, what happened to him was equally pitiful.
He abandoned his former identity and became a beast in the wilderness for one goal: to live. Di Yun was a bystander, and he saw the process of Hua Tiegan's transformation from a generation of heroes to the walking dead.
Di Yun sympathized with Hua Tiegan's plight in his heart, because he had seen too many human distortions and evil deeds. Even if Hua Tiegan's actions were out of self-preservation, his crimes were insignificant compared to Ling Weisi, Qi Changfa, Wan Jia's father and son, and others.
Di Yun knew that Hua Tiegan was tormented by nightmares and was in pain, so he chose to forgive him and let him spend the rest of his life in nightmares, which was already the greatest punishment for him. However, in Jin Yong's writing, good people do not necessarily have a good ending, and bad people will never have a good ending.
Although Hua Tiegan did not die at the hands of Di Yun, because of his greed for treasures, he finally died in Tianning Temple and slept with the treasure. The storyline of "The Legend of the City" is fascinating, the meaning is profound, and the themes expressed are excellent.
It's a pity that this work has not attracted widespread attention, probably because its subject matter is more cruel and depressing, and one reading is enough to impress people, and they don't want to read it again.
