Taste the stories in the shadows and see the history of today.
According to Hong Kong's Ming Pao newspaper, on October 30, 2018, Mr. Jin Yong, a master of martial arts novels, passed away at the age of 94. When the media reporter asked the old man's son, Cha Chuanqian, for verification, the reply was "Gone in the afternoon, very peaceful!" "However, in our hearts, we all know that this old man who left peacefully left us with a river of ups and downs.
Jin Yong (March 10, 1924 – October 30, 2018), real name Zha Liangyong, male, born in Haining, Zhejiang Province, moved to Hong Kong in 1948. Contemporary wuxia novel writers, journalists, entrepreneurs, political commentators, and social activists, known as one of the "Four Talents of Hong Kong", together with Gu Long, Liang Yusheng and Wen Rui'an, are known as the four masters of Chinese martial arts novels.
From the basic information of Baidu Encyclopedia, we can review some basic information of the old man, such as the date of birth and death, and the simple life. But if you understand it carefully, the old man's life may not be as pale as the words in Baidu Encyclopedia. The readers of Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts works span more than 50 years, and it can be said that in the mainstream population of our current society, the post-50s, post-60s, post-70s, post-80s and some post-90s are all readers of Mr. Jin Yong. There are even statistics that show that Mr. Jin Yong's works are the most read Chinese literary works.
Jin Yong's novels have saved him from a newspaper in crisis and have also won countless stars. In his novels "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter" and "The Hero of the Condor", the two most impressive are the two heroines, one is Huang Rong and the other is the little dragon girl. One is brilliant, one is immortal, and two women are equally beautiful. Later, I learned that such a fairy-like woman had an archetype in life.
How beautiful is the prototype of Huang Rong and the Little Dragon Girl? She is The Hong Kong actress Xia Meng, one of the Three Princesses of the Great Wall.
Xia Meng was once the most beautiful woman in Jin Yong's heart, and he once said: "No one has ever seen how beautiful Xi Shi is, and I think she should look like Xia Meng to be worthy of her name." He also said: "The summer dream in life is really beautiful, and its bright light makes me dazzled; the summer dream on the screen is even more beautiful, and the style of the star makes me speed up my heartbeat, and the soul is hooked." ”
In order to get close to Xia Meng, Jin Yong is very obsessed. At that time, he was already a great talent in Xiangjiang, and he had a lot of things to do, but he was wronged to join the Great Wall Film Company as a screenwriter, and he did not want to see the same company's Xia Meng every day.
Jin Yong is 33 years old and is still young, and he is unforgettable in those days. Talking with Xia Meng about movies and scripts, his talent also made Xia Meng appreciate, but Xia Meng was already engaged to businessman Lin Baocheng when he met Jin Yong. Xia Meng is a woman who is loyal to her feelings, although there are many suitors around her, she coldly refuses. Unique to Jin Yong, she maintains a respect and can't bear to hurt him.
The more this happens, the more Jin Yong is obsessed with Xia Meng, and when they work together, they will be happy to see Xia Meng smile. 24-year-old Xia Meng, with a beautiful appearance and a height of 170 centimeters, in addition to filming, he also likes to sing Peking Opera, and is also an excellent Hua Dan. She is a good actor and has a high cultural quality, and is a very rare all-round actor in Chinese films. How could such a talented and beautiful woman not make the originally amorous master fall in love?
Unfortunately, the relationship between the two sides has long been irrevocable, and they have met only once in the coffee house. Jin Yong hesitated again about the emotions buried in his heart, or told Xia Meng. Xia Meng only said, "It is difficult to fulfill this wish in this life and this life, and perhaps there will be opportunities in the next life." After this confession, the relationship between the two people was determined to be less than love and more than friendship. Although Jin Yong had infinite regrets in his heart, he still respected Xia Meng's choice.
Later, Jin Yong left the Great Wall and ran a newspaper independently, but in his heart he could not forget his feelings for Xia Meng. He opened a travel column for Xia Meng in his newspaper, tracking her footsteps. Later, when Xia Meng left Canada and immigrated abroad, Jin Yong was still a little sad, and he posted news about Xia Meng's immigration in his newspaper for more than ten days.
Although Jin Yong's career is becoming more and more brilliant, it is difficult to realize the dream of love. I can only sigh: even if the flowing water has feelings, it will flow east after all - he has turned his inner love for Xia Meng into a chivalrous woman in his pen, Huang Rong's cleverness and cleverness, and the unattainable distance of Xiaolongnü, all of which do not contain his feelings for Xia Meng. Xia Meng's figure, under his pen, flowed in his dreams.
The female writer Sanmao once said: The special feature of Jin Yong's novel is that it writes a 'love' word that is still elusive to human beings, which can make people go to heaven and go to hell. If you don't understand this love between Jin Yong and Xia Meng, you won't understand his description of the 'love affair' in the novel.
Although Jin Yong lost Xia Meng, the feelings buried in his heart became the most emotional words, making so many readers intoxicated in his world and unable to bear to leave.
