The heroes are gone, and the rivers and lakes are still - mourning Mr. Jin Yong

I remember when I was a teenager, I didn't like this kind of thing very much. Although I like to read essays and "Science Fiction World", they are limited to short texts. Once the article is more than twenty pages long, I can't keep reading it, and I feel a sense of boredom. Because I always feel that if a story is too long, the pleasure of reading is lost. After reading a story in a short period of time, it is better to have a short number of words but more content.

However, when I was in the second year of junior high school, I accidentally turned to a martial arts book called "Snow and Frost", which changed my prejudice against long stories. I still remember that this book was born by Taiwanese martial arts writer Wo Longsheng, and it was also the first martial arts book I came into contact with. At that time, I didn't know Jin Yong, or what I knew about Jin Yong was limited to a few words occasionally mentioned on TV. Knowing that many of him have been adapted into movies and TV series, everyone has watched various martial arts dramas on TV countless times.

To be honest, I was bored with the name Jin Yong at that time, because he had too many martial arts dramas. When I was very young, I watched "The Deer and Ding" starring Tony Leung and Stephen Chow's movie version of "The Deer and Ding", and then within two years, Chen Xiaochun's "The Deer and Ding" and Zhang Weijian's "Xiaobao and Kangxi" were also released one after another. It feels like I've watched several different versions of "The Legend of Deer and Ding" in about five years. And in the later version of Huang Xiaoming and Han Dong, there is no need to mention it, I heard that Zhang Yishan is going to take over the new version of "The Legend of Deer and Ding" recently, the so-called feeling of aesthetic fatigue, I believe that the officials here all understand. At that time, I thought to myself: Are these guys who are filming TV series empty-headed? Can they not shoot a story over and over again? I can memorize the story in it.

Limited to the content I was exposed to on TV, I didn't have a good impression of the name Jin Yong. On the contrary, I am aesthetically tired because of the continuous TV series adaptation, and I feel that the story is not enough. It wasn't as shocking enough as the short sci-fi stories I read in Science Fiction World magazine. "One Day of Prisoner", "Tianhuo Incident", "Chinese Sun" and "The Wandering Earth", these stories greatly stimulated my nerves at that time, and also built a basic prototype for my current worldview.

The first time I really watched Jin Yong was because I watched the martial arts "Snow and Frost" for the first time and couldn't find the last volume. This set at home belongs to my father, but I have searched through the house, and there are only two volumes in the upper middle school and no second volume. This feeling is the most uncomfortable, I know that there is an ending, but I can't see it.

In order to follow the end of Ben, I had to go to the rented bookstores that were everywhere in the streets at that time, and people after 2000 probably had a familiar but unfamiliar feeling about this kind of store. But for most people born in the mid-seventies to early nineties, renting a bookstore is perhaps one of the most memorable places of the entire teenage years.

Because here you can rent your favorite books at cheap rent (most of the rent is a dime a day, and the deposit ranges from 10 to 20 yuan) to pass the time. In the era when the Internet is not developed, and you have to wait for pirated discs to watch new movies instead of going to the cinema (in fact, there were not too many good movies in the cinema at that time), renting a bookstore is undoubtedly a place for everyone to pursue spiritual food.

Originally, I just wanted to find the next volume of "Snow Frost", and Wolong's was also popular at the time. With Wen Ruian, Gu Long, Jin Yong, Liang Yusheng and other martial arts, everyone is a must-have book in a bookstore. But unfortunately I pounced.

"Rented. "I still remember the shopkeeper in his thirties with a scruffy beard saying this to me with a copy of "The Legend of Qin" in his hand that was about to be turned off, and he didn't even lift his eyelids. However, he pointed to a set of "Dragon Babu" that had just returned and said to me: "Do you see this? This one is better than "Snow Falling". You know the eighteen palms of the dragon, which comes out of this. It's better than the TV series. ”

So under the flickering of the owner of the rental bookstore, I stupidly rented back a complete set of triptych versions of "Dragon Babu". It's really stupid to think about it, a set of four books of "Dragon Babu". It takes me five days to read a book, and I have to pay the rent of four books to rent four books together, which is far from being cost-effective for renting one book after reading one. After watching a set of "Dragon Babu", I put all my pocket money for a month into it, which is a very unpleasant thing to think about.

But I didn't feel much when I read the book, because I was already fascinated by Jin Yong's words when I read it for the first time. Regarding the interpretation of "Tianlong Babu", the meaning and implication of the Tianlong Babu and the Buddhist reincarnation in it, I don't need to list it here, there are already a lot of them on the Internet. Just to talk about some of my personal thoughts on Tenryu Babu.

When I was a teenager, I thought that the protagonist was Duan Yu, but he was an infatuated child and had constant adventures. When I was a teenager, I wanted to be the same person as Duan Yu. And when I was a little older, I read it again, and I felt that Qiao Feng was the person he wanted to be. Affectionate and righteous, heroic and uninhibited, and dignified. I don't want to damage the Great Song Dynasty, which has raised me for thirty years, nor do I want to damage the Khitan, where my blood originates. When it is a little older, many people may find that they may not even be able to do it.

If Duan Yu is rich and handsome, and Qiao Feng is a rich generation, then Xuzhu may only be regarded as an honest farmer who won the jackpot by accident. In the end, he still misses the life of meditating and chanting scriptures every day, without desires and desires. Maybe never winning this jackpot is what Xuzhu thinks. These may be the three different stages of thinking in life.

And after "Dragon Babu", I began to read a lot of various martial arts, and at the same time, my academic performance fell off a cliff :).

In addition to watching the really boring "Book of Swords and Enmity", I read all of Jin Yong's long martial arts. Many watched it even more than once, especially "Smiling Proud Jianghu". The political metaphors are brilliantly written. Young and ignorant young people can only see the happiness and hatred of the rivers and lakes from it, and only adults who understand the cruelty of society can see the inconspicuous political metaphors inside.

What I particularly like is the "Condor Shooting" trilogy, in which Guo Jing's "chivalrous man" probably exhausts the hero's heart of the Chinese.

If the heroes in the ancient dragon are more in line with the records of "Ren Xia" in history, those people are a group of capable underworlds, at most some Ren Xia has a sense of justice, and some Ren Xia does not. Then Jin Yong portrayed another path for the knight, no longer personal grievances and hatreds, but more of a family and country. Those who have the world in mind have the courage to accept all rivers, this is the hero.

Jin Yong's had a great influence on my teenage years, and his words made me develop an infinite yearning for a martial arts era.

Mr. Jin Yong died of illness yesterday, and some people said that the hero was dead and the rivers and lakes were not there.

In my humble opinion, martial arts rivers and lakes are innovative, and [martial arts] is not only set in ancient time and space Those who rely on swordsmanship and boxing to fight grievances. I like Jin Yong, it's never simple, because a group of people are fighting around in ancient costumes. It's something more profound, the kind of portrayal of chivalry.

Light life and death, heavy commitment. Throw your head and shed blood for the country, and set up a banner monument for the nation and society to be admired. Their [chivalry] is to establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for all sentient beings, continue to learn for the saints, and open a peaceful path for all generations. It's just that unlike the literati who write books and speak up, they just use the means of [martial arts]. Just as there are many theorists in this world, but there is also a need for many doers who promote these theories.

People who can sacrifice themselves for the sake of justice may seem stupid today. But how many "smart" people are there who are heroes? Clever and clever, in the end, maybe it's just Murong Fu. There are too many "smart" people and too few "stupid" people in this world.

But it is enough for people to be 'smart' in society. Let your mind fly in the book and be a fool for once. Only care about right and wrong, be a childlike child, only care about justice and not interests. If a person does not dare to let go of his mind when reading a book, then his life is too sad. Because he can't think of another way of life that is completely different from his current life, he doesn't even dare to think about it, he is afraid, he is hesitating.

Jin Yong's let me open my mind when I was young, at least follow the words in the book, I can follow the protagonists to be a "stupid hero".

Jin Yong died, but martial arts did not die.

Because Jin Yong's has ignited the seed of martial arts hearts in the hearts of countless Chinese. Even in today's society, there are still people who shout the phrase "the great man of chivalry, for the country and the people". Even though the Internet is uneven today, there are still many people who portray the chivalrous people in their own books.

It is no longer limited to the corners of ancient China. Now the knights in the book can live high above the temple, or they can crisscross the universe, or they can travel through the heavens and worlds. As long as there is a "chivalrous" in his heart, then he is a "chivalrous world"!

Mr. Jin Yong has ignited countless fires, and the recent prosperity of online literature is more or less due to Mr. Jin Yong's contributions.

Before Mr. Jin Yong, Chinese martial arts could only be regarded as in an immature market stage. After Mr. Jin Yong, Chinese martial arts officially entered the 1.0 stage. Subsequently, Mr. Huang Yi's new martial arts created various genres such as fantasy and historical overhead, and Chinese martial arts entered the 2.0 beta version. The Internet has risen together, although there have been a lot of scolding in the past ten years, but it is also growing stubbornly, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it has entered the official version of martial arts 2.0.

Last year, Mr. Huang Yi left, and Mr. Jin Yong passed away yesterday. But their legacy continues to nourish posterity.

The heroes are gone, but the rivers and lakes are still the same.
