We all know that in Jin Yong's martial arts novels, the most essential content is "chivalry", but not everyone can bear the name of "big hero", and there are not many people who really deserve "big hero".
Hero has two meanings here: one is broad, that is, as long as there is a chivalrous spirit and fights for it, it belongs to the hero. Second, in addition to having a chivalrous spirit, it is also necessary to be strong in martial arts. After all, in a martial arts plane, the martial arts are not high, and it is not easy to perform heroic and righteous deeds. In Jin Yong's novel, there are many protagonists, in addition to the male protagonist, there is also a female protagonist. But the real chivalrous male protagonist, but 3 people.
One is the great hero Guo Jing.
It can be said that if only one hero is found in Jin Yong's book, then it is also Guo Jing. "The great hero is for the country and the people", only Guo Jing has spent his life interpreting these words.
Guo Jing's father, Guo Xiaotian, and his uncle Yang Tiexin, lived in seclusion in Niujia Village in Jiangnan because they could not see the darkness of the imperial court. They killed the Jin soldiers and killed the reactionary officers and soldiers who were fighting for the lives of the Prince of the Jin Dynasty. Guo Jing's mother, Li Ping, was pregnant and was held hostage by the traitor Duan Tiande and came to the desert of the northern country. At the age of six, Guo Jing saved the Mongolian sharpshooter Tetsubetsu, and by chance, became Genghis Khan Temujin's golden sword horse.
However, none of this can change Guo Jing's feelings for his homeland. Guo Jing has a great mother, in order to save Guo Jing from worries, Li Ping resolutely committed suicide, which is the most touching scene in Jin Yong's martial arts.
Guo Jing returned to the south not to be persecuted, nor because of personal feelings, not because of Huang Rong, but for the sake of the country, for the nation, for the people, such a talent can be called a hero.
For the sake of national righteousness, Guo Jing will give up his private morality to assassinate Tuolei, which is already much higher than those so-called chivalrous guests who sell their reputations. It can be said that Guo Jing is the well-deserved first hero in Jin Yong's novel.
The second is Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng's life had almost no selfish desires, no opening and hanging, and no adventures. In addition to looking for his own lineage, Xiao Feng is working hard for the beggar gang, for the jianghu, for the people, and for the peace between Song and Liao, this is Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng's only lover, Arjun, was killed by him without his knowledge, and although he was reluctant, he still insisted on fulfilling Aju's last wish to protect her sister Azi. In addition, Xiao Feng had almost no personal affairs.
Xiao Feng knew that he was a Khitan and knew that he was besieged by those Central Plains heroes, but he still did not kill a good person indiscriminately. He was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the Liao Emperor Yelü Hongji, and fully recognized the character of the other party, but he still would not become the pawn of the other party, and he was still unwilling to oppose the former sword soldiers of the homeland.
Xiao Feng committed suicide for the sake of the overall situation, in order not to make the feud between the two sides unable to be resolved because of himself. This is the unique fate of Jin Yong's male protagonist.
Xiao Feng is the first male protagonist in the eight parts of Tianlong, and he is also a hero who can be on a par with Guo Jing. Comparatively speaking, Er hang is just some lucky ordinary people, and has nothing to do with the hero.
The third is Di Yun.
Although his revenge was due to private affairs. However, the sinister nature of the rivers and lakes and the viciousness of the human heart never made Di Yun lose the glory of humanity. He has always been misunderstood, but he still protects Shui Sheng with his heart, not because he is as affectionate as Zhang Wuji, but because he knows that Shui Sheng is a good person.
Although Di Yun was not a hero under the background of Guo Jing and Xiao Feng. However, in the selfish "Lian cheng tips" where everyone is selfish, he never loses himself and maintains his authenticity, which can also be regarded as a generation of heroes.
The fourth is a chivalrous combination.
Speaking of the male protagonist, I also want to give an example of a chivalrous combination of Jiangnan Seven Monsters. The Seven Monsters of Jiangnan are actually the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan, although they were born in the city, they not only have fireworks, but also hatred and hatred for corrupt officials, local tycoons and inferior gentry, and the nobles of the Jin Dynasty. They uphold justice and keep their promises. It is precisely because of their education that there is a great hero Guo Jing in the future.
When the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan were in danger, they still maintained themselves. They hated the court of the Southern Song Dynasty, hated the invading Jin soldiers and horses, and they never compromised with the enemy. If they all lived to the Battle of Xiangyang, it is conceivable that they would all be the first soldiers and soldiers to fight the Mongol army to the death. Their martial arts may not be high, but there are really few people who can compare with them in chivalry.
