Friday's speech: More than half a century ago, at the beginning of the founding of New China, a pro-democracy figure with lofty political ambitions traveled north from Hong Kong, carrying a letter of opinion written to the above in his pocket and beginning his short "creation" trip. Of course, it didn't take long for him to return home.
Not to mention not touching a nose of ash, but at least I think this experience had a crucial impact on the later creations of this brother, and these works had a crucial impact on the later generations... This opinion, who was called a "hot-headed intellectual" by a certain professor, was called Zha Liangyong, yes, the later martial arts master "Jin Yong"!
Back in the early nineties, when I was still a middle school student, one thing is still fresh in my memory— that is, in history class, when the teacher talked about the Northern Song Dynasty chapter, the class was particularly quiet, and the students seemed to listen to the lecture very carefully. I remember that the teacher talked about Yue Fei, about Yang Jiajian, and about Genghis Khan, but...
Seeing that class was about to end, someone finally couldn't hold back, risking being slapped and screwed his ear without raising his hand, he asked the podium:
"Teacher, where are Guo Jing and Yang Kang?"
Do you know that the question raised by this classmate represents the question that almost the whole class of our class wants to raise, which shows the popularity and influence of martial arts novels and TV dramas on people in that area (this is probably one of the values of history to that generation).
One more thing, my mother told me: it was the early 1980s, when the Hong Kong version of "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter" was just released. At that time, Hong Kong and Taiwan TV dramas and foreign TV dramas were purchased by local stations, and my small city, at eight o'clock every night, after the "news network", "local news network" and "advertising", the small city was almost empty, according to parents, it was at home to watch the "shooting eagle"!
As we all know, the 83rd edition of "The Legend of the Archery Hero" is divided into three parts, a total of more than fifty episodes, however, our small town broadcast until the second part was discontinued. Why was the broadcast stopped? According to the family, it was reported by school teachers and unit leaders. Why report? It's simple - everyone stays up late to watch the archery, which seriously affects the learning and work of children and adults the next day. According to the rumors of the trail, many plots that have been broadcast and gathered have also been deleted, such as the plot of Mei Chaofeng practicing nine yin white bone claws, because the plot is too scary and it is not easy for minors to be physically and mentally healthy. (This reason is not unreasonable, when I was in school, there were indeed classmates who attacked others with nine yin white bone claws)
Fortunately, within a few years, the shooting eagle was replayed again (I don't know if this is a kind of "hunger promotion" of the TV station), and at that time, I could also read some "jianghu things", and the fun of watching the drama was not a problem.
Not only archery, in my childhood, from Duan Yu to Wei Xiaobao, from the Snow Mountain Flying Fox to the Top of The Light, even if it is the lyrics and tune of the opening credits of each play, even if it is a gesture of descending dragons and eighteen palms, which is not memorized in the heart, and it is still remembered. You say that these things are nutrition or dregs, it is there, and you will never forget it for a lifetime.
To this day, every festive season, I will always find a few old Hong Kong films with my family to see, and suddenly look back, ah, "jianghu", this word that Jin Yong used in literature and movies, I did not want to be so close to reality. Whether society is reminiscing and simulating works, or whether works are reflecting and warning reality, is unknown. Fortunately, the joy is still there.
"Friday Literature and Art" borrowed martial arts films on the first day of the Chinese New Year and brought all the martial arts characters (including the Eastern Evil and Western Poisoning southern emperor And The Northern Emperor Beiqi Zhongshen) to everyone to pay their respects. But to remind everyone: if Jin Yong Wuxia represents the serious Confucian side of Hong Kong films, then there is no doubt that it also has its hippie and crazy side (don't ignore Jin Yong's influence by Shakespeare), tomorrow, the second day of the Chinese New Year, let's talk about "Journey to the West".
