The male protagonist Xiao Feng in Jin Yong's martial arts novel "Tianlong Babu" died of suicide for the country. The Khitan wanted to invade the Great Song Dynasty, and he wanted to stop the war, because the two countries were at war, and the victims were the people, and he had experienced the cruelty of war, and he did not want too many people to die.
Xiao Feng was the king of the Southern Courtyard of the Great Liao, holding half of the military power of the Great Liao, and it was reasonable to say that as a great king of the Great Liao, he should contribute to the expansion ambitions of the Great Liao, but Xiao Feng did not do so, because he believed that he was the king of the Southern Courtyard to work hard for the well-being of the people, not to mention that he had been growing up in the Great Song Dynasty, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty were raised by the Qiao family of the Great Song Dynasty, and the enlightened master was the Master of The Shaolin Temple, and then he was deeply favored by the Zhongyuan Gang, although his blood flowed with the blood of the Khitans. But his mind was filled with Han Chinese thought, with a loving, generous Confucian thought.
If he led the Khitan soldiers to attack the Great Song, it would be filial piety; if he went against the will of the Emperor of the Liao State and prevented the Khitan from invading the Great Song, it would be disloyalty. Xiao Feng fell into a situation where loyalty and filial piety were difficult to complete. For the benefit of the two peoples, he first prevented the Liao Emperor from invading the Great Song, reflecting his filial piety to the Great Song, and when the Liao Emperor promised not to invade the Great Song in his reign, he then committed suicide and apologized, reflecting Xiao Feng's loyalty to the Great Liao Emperor, so that he could be loyal and filial.
When Xiao Feng faced the three armies of the Great Liao and the face of the great Song hero Hao Jie, taking an arrow through his chest, everyone was shocked, Xiao Feng died for the nation, died for the well-being of the people of the two countries, and was the proper performance of the hero Hao Jie.
As Duan Yu said: "Although Big Brother Xiao has gone, he will always live in the hearts of each of us."
As the saying goes: "There are three major tragedies in life: the loss of a young mother, the widow of middle age, and the loss of a child in old age." "The three major tragedies Xiao Feng encountered, when he was a child, his mother was mistakenly killed by Zhongyuan Haojie, when he was middle-aged, he accidentally killed his girlfriend Aju, and he committed suicide for the sake of the people before he got married and had children.
Xiao Feng is a completely tragic figure. What is a tragedy? Mr. Lu Xun once said: "Tragedy is to destroy valuable things for people to see, so as to arouse the audience's grief and reverence, and achieve the purpose of improving ideological sentiment." A reader once wrote to the author Jin Yong, asking Jin Yong's men to be merciful and let Xiao Feng survive and have a happy ending. Jin Yong asked rhetorically, "If Xiao Feng didn't die, would you still be so moved?" So Xiao Feng must die. ”
Mr. Jin Yong said it well, Xiao Feng must die, this is the need of literature and art. But Chinese audiences are looking forward to a perfect ending to the story and achieving the effect of a reunion. I also hope that Xiao Feng will not die, whenever I see Xiao Feng's suicide scene, I will be very sad, even tears, such a good character I really do not want him to die, keep his life, let him and Ah Zi combine, because Ah Zi loves him very much, at the same time the two are combined, Xiao Feng can also better take care of Ah Zi, which is also his fiancée Arjun's last wish.
So I made up my own mind and changed the ending for Xiao Feng, please see the humble work:
Tianlong Eight
Outside the Yanmen Gate, the three armies stood solemnly.
At this time, Xiao Feng was holding the Khitan Emperor Yelü Hongji hostage, forcing him to retract his orders, and ordering the three armies to return to the Khitan and never invade the territory of the Great Song. Yelü Hongji was forced to be helpless. Reluctantly agreed: "Good! Grant your request! The three armies of the Great Liao obeyed the order, and in the year of their death, they would never invade the Great Song, and if they violated their oaths, there would be such arrows! Withdrawal! ”
Hearing only a click, a long arrow broke in response, and Yelü Hongji threw off his robe and strode back to the barracks.
The soldiers of the Great Liao, hearing the emperor's oath not to attack the Great Song again, cheered and rejoiced, this unjust battle they did not want to fight, but because of the emperor's order, there was no objection, all the soldiers seemed to kneel, shouted in unison: "The emperor is wise, long live, long live, long live." ”
Seeing that the soldiers had no intention of fighting, Emperor Liao had mixed feelings and shouted at Xiao Feng: "Xiao Feng, you have helped the Great Song this time, and in the future in the Great Song, the high-ranking official Houlu is just around the corner." ”
Xiao Feng said, "Emperor, you misunderstood, I am only thinking about the people of the two countries, once the two countries go to war, it is only the people of the two countries who suffer, for the sake of the world, Xiao Mou only made this decision, please forgive the emperor, in the future, the emperor will understand Xiao Mou's bitterness, Xiao Moujie is reckless, I don't want to covet any high-ranking official Houlu, glory and wealth, I don't even want to be the king of the Southern Liaoning Academy, do I still covet the Great Song or anything?" ”
At this time, the three armies of the Great Liao slowly retreated to the northwest, and after half an hour, only a piece of dust remained at Yanmen Pass, and the tense scene of the sword-rattling just now was gone.
Zhongyuan Qunhao, fortunate and happy, some cheered long live, some were moved to tears, some whispered, all talked about Xiao Feng's righteousness, in exchange for the peace between Song and Liao.
Elder Wu hugged his fist and saluted, "Helper, before I was deceived and deceived by the adulterers and offended the Gang Lord, before the Gang was under your rule, it prospered and developed, and all the brothers united as one." Since you left, the gang has been scattered, and the gang needs your governance, help the Lord! Please go back and stay with us again! Xiao Feng said, "Eh! Elder Wu, Xiao Mou, after so many tortuous experiences, has long seen through the world's cold, this gang of the main position has resigned, and then when it is impossible, I believe that the gang under the care of all the elders, will definitely elect a good helper, revitalize the gang! At this time, the gang listened to Xiao Feng's heartfelt words, and it was not good to speak out again.
Mr. Jin Yong
At this time, the elders of the Shaolin Temple, such as Xuan Zi, bid farewell to Xiao Feng: "Amitabha, Lord Xiao is really a man of great benevolence and righteousness, and the Great Song entrusts you to be able to make Hongfu peaceful, and Lao Gong is here to thank you on behalf of the great Song soldiers and civilians. Xiao Feng said, "The master is polite, please help yourself." After that, wudang, Emei, and Kuntong factions bid farewell to Xiao Feng and went back.
At this time, only a few roars were heard from miles away: "Ah Zi, where are you?" Ah Zi, I'm looking for you so hard! Why are you ignoring me? ”
Qunxiong was astonished, who is this person? Good deep internal force. Soon it was already a person, and everyone saw that this person was wearing an iron cover on his head, blind in both eyes, and extremely ugly.
Did the disciples already recognize that this was not their puppet gang leader You Tanzhi? Because I like Ah Zi to gouge out all her eyes to her, but she has become blind, such an infatuated person, it is really unbelievable.
At this time, Ah Zi strode out and scolded, "Iron Ugly, didn't you say that you willingly gouge out your eyeballs and give them to me?" Why are you now entangled again, and you have repented again? ”
You Tan said, "No, no, no, Azi Girl, I want to be with you for the rest of my life, to serve you, to protect you!" ”
Ah Zi said, "Hum! You are like this now, others serve you, protect you is still almost the same, you do not leave, I am going to be angry, big deal I will return the eyeballs to you, no one will owe anyone in the future! ”
Ah Zi was about to dig out his eyes with his fingers, at this time Xiao Feng's eyes were fast, grabbed Ah Zi's arm and said, "Ah Zi, what stupid thing are you doing?" Knowing gratitude is not a gentleman, people dig out their most precious eyeballs for you, and it is natural for you to take care of him. ”
Ah Zi said, "Brother-in-law, do you know?" How painful is it to be with someone you don't like? Don't push me, as for his diet, I will send someone to take care of him. ”
You Tanzhi heard that here the heart is dead, since loving someone can not bring her happiness, but makes him disgusted, as the saying goes, 'a twisted melon is not sweet' Why force it? ”
The virtual bamboo next to him listened a little unbearable, so he said to You Tanzhi, "Come to our Spirit Vulture Palace, I believe that the medical skills of our Spirit Vulture Palace can cure your eye disease." You Tan's way: "Thank you Mr. Xuanzhu, I am willing to go with you". Everyone thinks that this is the best destination for You Tan. Since then, You Tanzhi has lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, cultivating and cultivating.
All the heroes returned to their hometowns, only Xiao Feng and A Zi Ce ma raised their whips, drove to the desert outside Sai, and went to the grasslands of Saibei to herd sheep and horses, and from then on, they lived like gods and goddesses.
