In the 1980s, the entertainment life of ordinary people was relatively monotonous. Watching martial arts novels should be a more affordable way of entertainment.
I think how many people saved money in order to read martial arts novels, and even saved money directly for breakfast, and then went to buy martial arts novels or buy magazines to read.
There are also martial arts fans who have no money to buy martial arts novels, and can only find others to borrow books everywhere. At that time, holding a volume of martial arts novels was full of happiness.
Time flies, and now that martial arts novels have cooled, only old martial arts fans still miss the days when they happily read martial arts novels.
I'm a real swimmer, an old bookworm who has been watching martial arts for 23 years. Friends who like martial arts, remember to follow me.
Today I talk to you about 3 martial arts novels in the 1980s, people who have read them are old, revisit and turn the books, so nostalgic!
Friends who like martial arts novels, may wish to revisit these novels.
The first book, Liang Yusheng's "Flying Red Turban" ("The Legend of Saiwai Qixia").
"Flying Red Turban" is actually "The Legend of Saiwai". However, when it was serialized in magazines in the 1980s, it was not called "The Legend of Saiwai Qi", but "Flying Red Turban".
By the way, at that time, "Flying Red Turban" was serialized in the magazine "Special Zone Literature", and later there was a single line, and then there was a single line of "The Legend of Saiwai".
In comparison, I personally prefer the title of "Flying Red Turban", and I feel that this title has more memories.
Liang Yusheng's martial arts novels have many advantages, one of which is that they are good at portraying female characters, so that female characters have real personalities, rather than simply relying on the male protagonist.
In many third-rate martial arts novels, there are a large number of beautiful women. However, these beautiful women basically revolve around the handsome male protagonist, there is nothing particularly brilliant, purely to satisfy the reader's fantasy.
Liang Yusheng's "Flying Red Turban" is different, the heroine Fei Hong turban is cheerful, generous, vicious as a vendetta, and talented, is an outstanding child of the grassland, which is very admired by readers.
Fei Hong turban's emotional road is relatively bumpy, her former lover is a traitor, and fei hong turban's righteousness is awe-inspiring, putting the interests of the common people first, and cutting off the traitor.
Later, Fei Hong turban fought side by side with Yang Yunqiao and developed a feeling of affection. Unfortunately, what Yang Yunxiao really liked was the Qing court's Gegnalan Minghui.
Therefore, the flying red scarf is also like the practice of the neon dress of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", a night of whiteheads.
In ancient times, the young woman's white head symbolized a kind of tragedy of life, and it was obvious that the flying red scarf was a loser in love.
However, Fei Hong Turban did not become depressed, she still lived for the people of the grassland, contributed her strength, and impressed martial arts fans.
The second book, Xiao Yi's "Drinking Horse Flowing Flower River".
Xiao Yi was really a very popular martial arts author in the 1980s.
At that time, there was a saying called "North Jin Yong, South Xiao Yi", that is, Xiao Yi and Jin Yong were equally famous.
If you look at it from the current point of view, Xiao Yi's novels are much worse than Jin Yong's, but in the eighties, Xiao Yi was really so popular.
For example, this book "Drinking Horse Flowing Flower River", it was really good to read at that time.
Xiao Yi is best at writing love, writing the delicate and moving emotional drama of the male and female protagonists, which is somewhat similar to the romance novel in martial arts.
When we look at the story of "Drinking Horse Flowing Flower River", it basically revolves around the emotional drama.
During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, the male protagonist Jun Wuji appeared on the banks of the Liuhua River, which attracted the attention of the female protagonist Chun Ruoshui. The two came and went and developed feelings.
In fact, Jun Wuji was the son of the Yongle Emperor, who faked his death and came to the people. Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, sent Ji Gang and others to cut the grass and remove the roots.
On the other hand, Jun Wuji injured the disciples of the "Shaken Light Hall", and the lord of the Shaken Light Hall sent the righteous daughter Shen Yaoxian to seek revenge. Shen Yaoxian fell in love with Jun Wujie, and instead of killing Jun Wujie, he saved Jun Wujie's life.
The more sad plot begins. The King of Han learned that Chun Ruoshui was a great beauty, and used the lives of Chun Ruoshui's father and his entire family to threaten Chun Ruoshui to marry him.
Although Chun Ruoshui liked Jun Wujie, he was forced to be helpless and could only marry the King of Han.
Jun Wuji was naturally very sad, and later after some twists and turns, he began to like Shen Yaoxian. Later, the two got married and had children, and the love was sweeter.
However, Chun Ruoshui was very tragic, becoming a widow, and the grief could not be resolved, so he could only angrily beat the tomb of the King of Han: "A person just looked at the grave and was dazed, and later seemed to cry again, and also used the horse whip in his hand to smoke straight to the grave..."
In fact, most martial arts fans who have read the novel prefer Chun Ruoshui. Unfortunately, fate has fooled people, and Chun Ruoshui finally has no connection with Jun Wujie, leaving behind infinite tragedies...
The 3rd book, Zhang Xueqian's "The Legend of the Wandering Stranger".
The novel, originally titled "Fighting The Arhats", is based on a folk commentary.
In the 1980s, martial arts novels such as "The Legend of wandering heroes" that favored storytelling were still relatively popular.
In the 1990s, Hong Kong and Taiwan martial arts novels basically squeezed the market for book critics, just like online novels now crowded out the market for martial arts novels.
The story of "The Legend of the Wandering Strange Hero" is set in the Ming Dynasty Zhengde period, the soldier shilang Wang Shouren (that is, Wang Yangming), as the official Qingzheng, was given the title of "Three Treasures" Chincha.
The so-called "Three Treasures" are the holy will given by the Emperor, the Sword of Shangfang Tianzi, and the gold medal of "Hunting on behalf of the Heavenly Patrol".
King Ning recruited troops and horses at the Nine Palaces Mountain, and was very jealous of Wang Shouren, and colluded with the thieves of the Lotus Gate of the Five Peaks to steal the Three Treasures.
The male protagonist of this book, Cai Fang, is known as Sai Kongming, and is also nicknamed "Funny Road Chief Wanderer". He joined forces with a group of decent heroes, assisted Wang Shouren, fought against many thieves, and finally regained the "Three Treasures".
However, there were still nine thousand years old Liu Jin and others in the imperial court who harmed the country and the people and plotted to kill Wang Shouren. Cai Fang also designed to expose Liu Jin's plot and help Wang Shouren clear the charges.
In fact, the routine of this novel is somewhat similar to "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" ("Bao Qingtian") or "Seven Swords and Thirteen Heroes", which is the story of a group of chivalrous people who help the Qing officials deal with the traitors and villains.
But the special thing about this novel is that the male protagonist Cai Fang's personality is more special, which makes people shine.
The protagonists of general martial arts novels are the young heroes of Yushu Linfeng, but the protagonist of this book is an old Taoist, which is really special.
And the protagonist is not proud of his appearance, speaks funny, is optimistic and positive, likes to use his brain in everything, is clever and calculating, never suffers losses and is deceived, and is really "Sai Kongming".
This kind of clever and funny protagonist, still an old man, is indeed relatively rare in martial arts novels. So after many years, I still have an impression of this novel.
Friends, have you read these novels? What other old martial arts novels do you know of? Welcome to leave a message.
