People are going to die. But reading Guo Jing's death does not make people too sad.
In "The Book of the Dragon Slaughtering in the Heavens", Jin Yong borrowed the mouth of the exterminator Taizhi to say that the day when the city of Xiangyang was broken, and Guo Jing and his wife were martyred at the same time as Guo Shaoyu.
For Guo Jing's death, everyone will give an eight-word comment: die as you want, no complaints, no regrets.
Because, from childhood to see the old, we can foresee Guo Jing's fate.
Guo Jing, Jin Yong's only protagonist from birth to death, in the Yangyang Shooting Eagle Trilogy, he is like an old friend of ours, his character, his life, from beginning to end frankly placed there.
Jin Yong said that his favorite male protagonists are Guo Jing, Yang Guo, Ling Huchong, and Xiao Feng. However, I guess he loves Guo Jing the most.
Honesty, integrity, fortitude, bravery, great wisdom and foolishness, and acting in spite of difficulties, Guo Jing was given the ideal personality of Confucianism by Jin Yong. In fact, Mr. Jin Yong himself also has the shadow of Guo Jing, with a humble and thick personality, and is sensitive to words and deeds.
For Guo Jing's life, Jin Yong poured countless ink into it.
The desert gives birth to children, so meticulous that Li Ping bites off the umbilical cord with her teeth, shepherds sheep to learn martial arts, and a silly boy grows up bit by bit, and no second protagonist in Jin Yong's novel writes such a heart. It's a deep affection equivalent to one's own child.
Regarding Guo Jing, there have been many misinterpretations.
Guo Jing is smart. His super attention and comprehension ability when practicing martial arts is actually a proper talent. In the vast sea of people, Guo Jing can see the most important woman in his life at a glance, and from then on, the hand of his son will live and die, what a wise eye.
Guo Jing is rebellious. He chose Huang Rong, a little demon girl who was rejected by decent people, and would rather offend the seven masters with her head held high than offend Genghis Khan. He guarded Xiangyang for the sake of the people, but rebelled against the imperial court and denounced the emperor as a emperor.
Guo Jing is wise. At the end of "Shooting Eagles", he has a conversation with Genghis Khan. "I just want to ask you: After death, how much land do people occupy when they are buried underground?" Genghis Khan froze, whipped the horse in a circle, and said, "That's only this size." Guo Jing said, "Yes, then you killed so many people, shed so much blood, and occupied so much land, what is the use in the end?" Genghis Khan was silent.
From a shepherd who sheltered under the tent of the Great Khan to a great hero who could ask questions about the Khan's dumb mouth, we followed his footsteps, shared his joys and sorrows, and witnessed his growth.
How many journeys does a person have to go through to become a man? "Shooting Eagle Trilogy" is the history of a man's growth, the stubbornness of youth, the struggle of youth, the thickness of middle age, the persistence of old age, Guo Jing's life, although he died without regrets.
