Regarding the controversy of "Zhao Yun", explain a few words.
Seeing everyone's image and shaping of Zhao Yun is extremely controversial.
A few words to explain.
The reason why the Three Kingdoms are easy to dispute is that each character has a unique opinion in everyone's heart, and there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people.
So among the five tiger generals, Zhao Yun, I have never dared to write.
It's because Zhao Yun was portrayed too perfectly in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms... He has been rendered too perfectly in generations of film and television works. The reader's eyes can't tolerate him making a little mistake and a little flaw, which is a completely different character creation from Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.
When I wrote the last chapter, I was also hesitating, should I write a white moonlight in the reader's mind?
In the end, I still didn't choose so, because Zhao Yun in history was imperfect, imperfect in his insistence on principles, Zhao Yun voted for Liu Bei when Liu Bei joined Yuan Shao's command, because Zhao Yun pursued the lord of benevolence.
When Liu Bei conquered Chengdu, he rewarded the people and distributed the people's fields to the heroes, but Zhao Yun also resisted it. The final result was not good, and the field was still divided.. But it was not given to Zhao Yun.
Liu Bei's avenging of Guan Yu's expedition to the west was also Zhao Yun's sharp-tongued opposition. Liu Bei was very unhappy.
From these perspectives, I probably know why Zhao Yun has done a lot of credit, but his official rank has rarely risen, at first he was a tooth keeper, and later he was a miscellaneous general... In that era when feudal marquis was very common, he was only made a marquis by Adou six years after his death, and he was the only one among the five tiger generals who was not made a marquis.
It's weird, but it's not unexpected.
So what I saw was a brave and invincible general, but also a general who was excluded from the inner circle because of his adherence to principles, and finally died of depression.
Let's talk about intercepting the river to save Adou. Before writing this paragraph, I watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and I also read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and I referred to a lot of materials, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhao Yun directly cut off Zhou Tai's head, if you want to write like this, you must be very cool.
But in history, Zhou Tai died fourteen years later, and Luo Guanzhong's Romance of the Three Kingdoms was to create Zhao Yun, the protagonist of "Intercepting the River to Save Adou", so this fact was exaggerated.
In fact, what is recorded in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms is that Sun Shangxiang sneaked away with Adou, and Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei stopped them together (yes, in no order), and there was nothing to throw Zhou Tai's head in front of Sun Shangxiang to scare him.
Zhao Yun is such a principled person, under the alliance, it is absolutely impossible to really kill the people of Eastern Wu, at that time, Bashu was undecided, Zhao Yun could not find this trouble for Liu Bei, really killed, it was cool to watch, but there was endless trouble.
Let's talk about the book.
Isn't what Guan Lin has been doing is to change the tragedy of these "heroes"? Guan Yu is like this, Zhang Fei is like this, Ma Chao is like this, and Huang Zhong is like this.
The difference is only that the reader can accept the imperfections of Guan, Zhang, Ma, and Huang, but not the imperfections of Zhao Yun, who is too perfect in the reader's inherent impression... Perfection that cannot be blasphemed.
But such a perfect person? Have you been with Liu Bei for so long? I won't talk about the miscellaneous general, and I haven't even sealed a worthless Hou, so it's a bit too much to say, right? Therefore, I thought about it for a long time, and finally decided that when shaping Zhao Yun, I started from his imperfection, because of Guan Lin's factors, he went from imperfect to perfect, from a miscellaneous general in history to the first general of Shu Han, so that he deserved his name.
But I was exactly what I expected... I've just shown him a little bit of imperfection and tried to shape his sticking principles... It sparked a huge controversy.
Last night it was my fault that the reader raised the bar, but it's like doing anything, and you're bound to get a lot of blame and controversy before you do it.
But recently I was in the mountains, among the mountain springs, and I had some new insights.
There will be many people around me in this life, and as long as I continue to write books, there will definitely be more readers, but can I please every reader?
Impossible.
Readers, you must be able to see this because there is something that arouses your emotions. I can also accept that I have some bad habits and unbearable pen skills in writing.
Again, I can't please every reader, and I may not be able to please most readers like "selling newspapers" and "elbows" in my life, but as far as I'm concerned, I just need to find a small wave of readers who can have an MRI with me.
As long as I have their support, I can continue on this path and stick to my own writing and ideas.
Finally, I would like to thank those readers who have given me opinions, and even controversy, who love deeply and hate deeply... I can relate to your feelings.
I also thank those who read silently and didn't say a word... Readers who vote silently. From the first chapter of this book to the present, the core has never changed, and it is not the protagonist who pretends to be forced.. It's about change.
change those historical figures who can sing and cry;
Change the regrettable and deplorable fate of those three countries.
I will continue to write along these lines.
Thank you!
