We all know that Mr. Jin Yong likes to make changes to his works for many reasons. It may be that with the difference of age, the view of some things has changed, or it may be that the original ghostwriter has changed his own settings for the development of the novel. However, all the modifications have only one purpose, that is, to make the novel more perfect and reasonable.
However, although the purpose of the revision is good, the readers have long been preconceived and accepted the previous version without modification, so it is inevitable that some of the revised story settings are not easy to accept, and even reject. For example, the ending of Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan in "Tianlong Eight Parts", Wang Yuyan before the modification finally saw through Murong Fu and came together with Duan Yu.
It can be said that it is the end of the reunion, after all, Duan Yu has been deeply in love with Wang Yuyan since he first saw her, and throughout the book, he has discussed the degree of tiangou, except for You Tan's Duan Yu. Originally, the readers were very satisfied with this ending, but Jin Yong let Wang Yuyan leave Duan Yu and be with the crazy Murong Fu in the newly revised edition.
Many readers are difficult to accept that this ending is set. In fact, at the beginning of the same thoughts as everyone, I also thought that this ending was not good. However, with re-reading the adapted version of "Tianlong Babu", I found that it was much smoother. I feel that this setting is also good, and more reasonable, I have to say that Mr. Jin Yong is still powerful.
Many people see this modification, in fact, there is a misunderstanding, that is, to blame the fault on Wang Yuyan. Because most people felt that Duan Yu was obsessed and had been pursuing Wang Yuyan for so long, Wang Yuyan left to choose Murong Fu, so he was very sympathetic to Duan Yu. However, everyone did not think about it, why did Wang Yuyan choose the crazy Murong Fu after agreeing to Duan Yu to be together?
The answer is that Duan Yu has never loved Wang Yuyan from beginning to end, and many readers may not approve of this answer, thinking that it is nonsense. Looking back carefully, when did Duan Yu like Wang Yuyan? The first time they met, he didn't even know Wang Yuyan's character, and the two of them had already been seduced by Wang Yuyan's soul without any getting along.
In an accurate description, she was attracted by Wang Yuyan's appearance because she was too much like a fairy sister. Duan Yu has been deceiving himself subconsciously, thinking that Wang Yuyan is the immortal sister Xia Fan, after all, Duan Yu likes to read Buddhist allusions, and there is no shortage of such stories. In the end, what Duan Yu had always liked was the statue, not Wang Yuyan.
Where did this statue come from? It was carved by Wuyazi according to Li Qiushui's appearance, but although it was exactly the same as Li Qiushui, the statue was not Li Qiushui, but Li Xiaomei, who was very similar to her. After the statue was carved, Wuyazi stared at the statue all day long, and no longer paid attention to Li Qiushui, who was also unbearable, so he intersected with Ding Chunqiu.
It is also possible to use Ye Gonghaolong to describe Duan Yu, Duan Yu has liked statues from the beginning, not Wang Yuyan. Post a paragraph of the original text, the confession of duan yu:
Before, as soon as I saw Yu Yan, I was fascinated by her, and my whole heart was tied to her, completely unable to help herself. Whether people make fun of me or ridicule them, I don't feel ashamed at all. Only because I regarded her as a 'fairy sister' in the cave. It wasn't that Yu Yan had any magic that charmed me, it was all my own 'heart demon' that fascinated me. ”
This passage is very clear, Duan Yu does not love Wang Yuyan at all, and before he got it, he may still be able to imagine that he regarded Wang Yuyan as a fairy sister, but after getting it, he found out that she was just an ordinary woman, not the immortal sister in his heart. This makes the author can't help but think that the story of Li Ao and Hu Yinmeng can be understood by yourself if you are interested.
With Wang Yuyan's cleverness, it was natural to see that Duan Yu no longer loved her, in fact, he had never liked her at all. The fairy only exists in the fantasy, Wang Yuyan is only a mortal after all, Duan Yu will be the lord of Dali after that, and there are groups of beautiful women around him, Wang Yuyan does not want to be another Li Qiushui. When Wang Yuyan saw the statue that looked the same as herself, she deliberately smashed the statue to vent her dissatisfaction.
After all, he had lost to this statue, and Wang Yuyan at this time was even more impatient, even ugly. Wang Yuyan was proud, and she was also vulnerable, so he would rather choose to return to Murong Fu's side and take care of the crazy Murong Fu than follow Duan Yu. It seems that Wang Yuyan abandoned Duan Yu, but in fact, it was only Duan Yu who later understood his own heart.
