Since the Republic of China period to the present, his name has always been on the lips of many martial arts fans.
He sketched for the world a world of rivers and lakes with male arrogance, daughter affection, love and hate.
Writer Jin Yong once wrote a picture for him: his colleagues are the same age ancestors, and they are also crazy and heroic and good friends.
However, he is "crazy", but he is only crazy in the martial arts world.
He is "chivalrous", but he is always chivalrous and righteous in reality.
He is "literate", although he has a chivalrous spirit, but he is a real gentleman and literati.
This person is Liang Yusheng, a famous contemporary martial arts novelist in the mainland and opening up a new form of contemporary martial arts creation.
The novels he wrote such as "The Three Women of the Red Lake", "Seven Swords Under the Tianshan Mountain", and "The Legend of the White-haired Witch" were rushed to read by everyone at that time.
Some people also called him a "hero" because of this, calling him a "great fighter" in the Chinese martial arts novel industry.
As everyone knows, his life is also the same as the world of rivers and lakes he wrote.
It's just that in his personal rivers and lakes, there is not only a sword light and sword shadow, but also a gentle affection.

1 In May 1924, Liang Yu, formerly known as Chen Wentong, was born in Guangxi.
The Chen family is a well-known local family, sitting on 100 acres of good land, and has the reputation of "chivalrous heirloom".
It is said that the Chen family often entertained poor beggars with "three dishes and one soup", and sometimes even gave them whole loads of rice.
In addition, the Chen family is also a family of doctors and Taoists, often providing free medical consultations to their neighbors and giving medical classics to patients.
Growing up under such a fine family style, Liang Yusheng has been a righteous and affectionate person since he was a child, and the elders in the family, especially his grandfather, especially his grandfather, especially favor him.
However, in 1929, the Chen family invited a fortune teller, and after seeing Liang Yusheng's palm print, he said: "Life brings Yan back, smart and died early, this son Yang Shou, but thirty out of six." ”
As soon as the superstitious grandfather heard this, he loved Liang Yusheng even more, and taught him to play chess, poetry, and couplets every day, asking him to live a full and happy life.
Although Liang Yusheng has been weak since childhood, this skill is easy to learn.
In addition to the three things taught by his grandfather, he also loves to read.
At less than 12 years old, he finished reading the Four Books, the "Records of History" and other classics.
Of course, he loves to read chivalrous novels such as "Water Margin", and he can recite the stories backwards at a young age.
As he gets older, the chivalrous feelings in Liang Yusheng's bones are even heavier.
As a boarder, he often gave clothes and shoes to poor classmates, and wore torn shoes that exposed his toes.
For him, what others need is more important than himself.
Perhaps, everyone has a chivalrous dream in their hearts, but not everyone has a heroic spirit.
And Liang Yusheng is a real hero who dreams of becoming a chivalrous.
2
However, when life changes, even the chivalrous will be caught off guard.
In 1950, Liang Yusheng, who had graduated and worked for Ta Kung Pao for nearly a year, received news that his father Chen Xinyu was being sued.
The incident happened suddenly, Liang Yusheng didn't have time to think much, so he directly packed his luggage and rushed home.
In his heart, his father is the moral benchmark, doing things with affection and righteousness, and is Liang Yusheng's role model all along.
But now, the world says that his father is a bully and a traitor.
How could he believe that? How can you not rush home?
But before Liang Yusheng could arrive in Guangxi, his friend Peng Rongkang stopped him in time and shouted: "The rural areas are carrying out a mass action to suppress bandits and oppose hegemony. When you return to your hometown, not only will you not be able to save your father, but even your personal life and safety will not be guaranteed! ”
Friend's words, Liang Yusheng is not ignorant, he is just worried and afraid.
If he doesn't see his relatives at home and his father, his heart will only hang forever.
But it is true that if he just goes back, the possibility of rescuing people is not only very low, but also rides himself in.
In desperation, Liang Yusheng had to ask for help from his brother Chen Wenshan, telling him to take care of his family and rescue his father.
Unfortunately, the world is unequal and the society is unfair.
In 1951, Liang Yusheng's father and cousin Chen Wenqi were wrongfully killed and shot.
As soon as the top pillar of the Chen family fell, the rest of the relatives also left.
Liang Yusheng's younger brother died of diarrhea caused by eating soybeans raw due to unbearable hunger.
The Chen family was not safe, so his stepmother Li Yufang took her daughter around to find a way to live, and had no choice but to remarry a widower in a neighboring village.
The original high-ranking family is now scattered and dead.
Seeing his relatives dying one by one, walking away, Liang Yusheng could not bear the sadness and cried bitterly.
Over the years, he worked hard at the newspaper, writing about politics and society, in order to earn enough money to bring his family to live in Hong Kong.
But at that time, his father, his stepmother, and his cousin all declined their proposals.
Now that the man is dead and his home is broken, he is left alone to repent, why did he not force them to go with him in the first place?
"The old garden is deserted, the people are scattered, and the old traces are difficult to bury."
The poem was written by 16-year-old Liang Yusheng himself, and it is now a fitting description of himself.

3 Since then, Liang has never touched political matters again.
Returning to Ta Kung Pao, he began to focus his work on history and essays.
He is no longer the Chen Wentong who only talks about current affairs and only reads martial arts novels, but Liang Yusheng, who only engages in creation.
At that time, he was Feng Yuning in the column "Tea House Discussion"; is Liang Huiru of "One Day One Link"; It is Mrs. Li of the program "Mrs. Li's Mailbox".
In addition, he is also the leader of the "new" martial arts novels.
Since 1954, Liang Yusheng has been working hard and wrote dozens of martial arts novels such as "Dragon and Tiger Fighting Jinghua".
Among them, "Dragon and Tiger Fighting Jinghua" and "The Legend of the Grassy Dragon and Snake" are both stories of avenging their father.
It can be seen that Liang Yusheng still has not forgotten the unjust murder of his family back then.
It is precisely because of this that he has been immersed in creation and taking revenge in the world of words.
But it is not a proper thing to be busy with creation all the time, and Liang Yusheng buried his head and left his life events behind.
Until 1956, Liang Yusheng was 32 years old and was still a bachelor.
He was last in a relationship at the age of 18, with his cousin for four years.
In the past four years, Liang Yusheng has loved very humbly, and no matter what the other party wants, he will satisfy them one by one.
When he heard that his cousin liked "Dream of the Red Mansion", Liang Yusheng would watch it all night and recite it to her the next day.
However, this first love ended in a breakup.
However, when his cousin got married, Liang Yusheng still generously put on a suit to send blessings.
He said, "For the sake of those who love you, you must be happy and happy." ”
If Liang Yusheng is defined by the name of "chivalrous", then he must be an extremely gentle hero.

In fact, in Liang Yusheng's view, it doesn't matter if he becomes a family or not, just follow the fate.
But in the view of Li Zongxun, deputy editor-in-chief of the newspaper, only by starting a family can he untie the family knot in his early years.
Therefore, Li Zongxian discussed with his wife and arranged a blind date for Liang Yusheng, the object of which was his wife's niece - Lin Cuiru.
That year, Lin Cuiru was exactly 26 years old, half a round of age worse than Liang Yusheng.
It stands to reason that a 26-year-old woman is not married, which at the time seemed to be an older leftover woman, and will be laughed at by many people.
But after hearing this, Liang Yusheng laughed and said, "Am I worthy of her?" ”
It's not "why the other party is not married", but the worry that you are not worthy.
That being said, Liang Yusheng still accepted Li Zongying's kindness and agreed to meet with Lin Cuiru.
Lin Cuiru is also very happy about this matter. After all, she is also a fan of Liang Yusheng's books.
However, due to Liang Yusheng's heavy work, the two did not meet for a long time and did not see each other often.
Normally, girls want boys to spend more time with them, but Lin Cuiru is not.
Whenever she was free and Liang Yusheng was not available, Lin Cuiru would take the initiative to find each other, occasionally helping to do things, and occasionally simply accompanying her.
Seeing Lin Cuiru running to accompany him for three days, Liang Yusheng also slowly moved.
But since you want to be with each other, you have to look towards the farthest goal, and be together on the premise of marriage.
He once said: "
The wife is a lifetime and does not talk so much romance. How long can passion last? I want to have calmer and more stable feelings
。 ”
Therefore, Liang Yusheng slowly told Lin Cuiru everything about himself, big and small.
Once, he said: "For some reason, I have polyps in my nose, which is a benign lump that grows due to chronic inflammation stimulating the mucous membrane, which is very troublesome, and I often go to the hospital to cut it in the future, I don't know if you don't like it?" ”
"Don't think so!"
As soon as Liang Yusheng finished speaking, Lin Cuiru immediately blurted out these two words.
Just two words were enough to see Lin Cuiru's intentions, but Liang Yusheng continued to ask: "It's bitter and dirty, why don't you like it?" ”
Lin Cuiru replied: "Since my uncle and aunt introduced me to you, and I also like you, I will share weal and woe with you and rely on each other." ”
She has said a thousand words, not as good as a sentence, "share weal and woe with you, rely on each other for life", she is both sincere and sincere.
Hearing this, Liang Yusheng also responded movingly: "Cuiru, you are really a good girl with a kind heart, hard work and virtuousness, I have loved you all my life!" ”
Each other's intentions have been clarified, and the two are no longer polite to each other.
5 During the relationship, Liang Yusheng underwent another sinusitis surgery.
After the operation, his nose was often bleeding and pus, and he looked embarrassed.
But Lin Cuiru is indeed not disgusted at all, and every day after work, he will personally help Liang Yusheng wash the filth from his nose until he recovers.
When he recovers, it will be the time when the two become partners.
On the day he was discharged from the hospital, Liang Yusheng knelt down on one knee to Lin Cuiru and said, "I'm poor, but as long as I work hard, I can feed you." Marry me! ”
In this regard, Lin Cuiru naturally nodded in agreement.
On May 1, 1957, the two who had known each other for only 8 months tied the knot.
However, during their honeymoon, the couple had an awkward fight.
It turned out that when the two went to Beijing for their honeymoon, because they walked every day, Liang Yusheng was tired of shopping behind, so he said that he didn't want to go out again.
Lin Cuiru also understood this, after all, in the early years, Liang Yusheng only managed to create every day, rarely went out, and his physical strength was naturally not very good.
But one day, after lunch, Liang Yusheng said to her: "You rest in the hotel first, and I will go out for a walk." ”
This turn, turned to half past ten in the evening, and has not yet turned back.
Lin Cuiru was anxious, anxious to tears, worried that Liang Yusheng would have three long and two short.
And while she was crying, the missing person returned.
After seeing his wife's tears in her eyes, she immediately reviewed it and said, "I went to learn chess, I'm sorry for you, I won't do it next time." ”
When Lin Cuiru heard this, not only was he not angry, nor did he cry, but he smiled.
Listening to the person in front of her apologizing to herself aggrievedly, her stomach suddenly disappeared, leaving only pampering.
Speaking of which, this is also the only conflict between the two of them in decades of marriage.
Their married life has always been dull.
6 They are obviously newlyweds, but they are more like old husbands and wives.
In literature, Liang Yusheng is definitely better than Lin Cuiru.
But in life, he is basically a man with zero ability to live.
Not only can he not recognize his own door, he often walks to the wrong building, but he also never takes the initiative to change his clothes, and every time Lin Cuiru reminds him, he will take off his dirty clothes and wash them.
Later, in order to prevent Liang Yusheng from going to the wrong door again, Lin Cuiru would often run to the balcony to wait before he returned.
As soon as he saw the familiar figure, he shouted and told him that his home was here.
However, the biggest headache for Lin Cuiru is not that Liang Yusheng can't remember where his home is, but his diet.
Liang Yusheng is particularly voracious, especially for meat and sweets.
Earlier, Lin Cuiru would often prepare meat and sweets for him according to his wishes.
Gradually, she discovered that Liang Yusheng not only gained weight, but also suffered from various physical diseases.
Out of worry, Lin Cuiru ran to ask the doctor, and after learning that people who love sweets are prone to diabetes, Liang Yusheng's food became weak.
But at home, even if he doesn't want to, he definitely doesn't dare not listen to Lin Cuiru.
But once out, without Lin Cuiru's supervision, Liang Yusheng continued to eat meat and sweets.
Eating and eating, you really eat diabetes.
In 1985, Liang Yusheng went to the hospital to check out that there were four "+" diabetics!
When Lin Cuiru saw it, she couldn't help but feel anxious, but looking at Liang Yusheng's nervous appearance, she began to comfort: "Although your illness is serious. But don't be nervous in your mind, this disease can still be cured. ”
In order to make Liang Yusheng feel at ease as soon as possible, Lin Cuiru will not only accompany Liang Yusheng to the hospital for injections on weekdays, but also ask for medicine in private.
But one disease did not recover, and another disease recurred.
In June 1994, Liang Yusheng suffered from bladder cancer again, and not long after, his heart was also tested for problems.
Seeing that Liang Yusheng was tormented by the disease, Lin Cui was worried and had to pretend to be calm, and continued to comfort him: "It's not terrible to be sick, it's terrible to be mentally broken." Throughout the ages, there have been many people who miraculously come back to life on the death line. As long as you are not mentally broken and cooperate well with the doctor's treatment, you will definitely be able to overcome this great difficulty. ”
With his wife by his side to encourage and cheer every day, Liang Yusheng's mental state is still good.
He once said to Lin Cuiru: "
Don't worry, I have put life and death aside. I firmly believe that those who are afraid of death die quickly; Those who are not afraid of death must not die
。 ”
As he said, his illness improved after being treated.
But Lin Cuiru did not dare to take risks, like a nurse, taking care of Liang Yusheng meticulously.
Even when Liang Yu usually reads a book, Lin Cuiru will follow behind him and tell him which book is where.
In this regard, Liang Yusheng once recalled: "Whenever I walked into the study room to prepare for work, when I saw the books neat and clean, I felt a surge of gratitude to my wife. I always think: If I managed these books myself, they would never be so good. In my life, I have met a true confidant! ”
Later, Liang Yusheng decided to live in seclusion and moved to Australia with Lin Cuiru.
During this period, he was invited several times to participate in literary activities, but he also refused, saying that he only wanted to leave the rest of his life to his wife.
If there is an activity that must be attended, he will bring Lin Cuiru with him.
To describe the old age of the two in one word, it is "inseparable".
But at the end of his life, Liang Yusheng could not take Lin Cuiru to die with him.
On January 22, 2009, Liang Yusheng passed away at the age of 85.
Looking at Liang Yusheng's body, Lin Cuiru said: "My hero, I will follow you, in another world, we will still stay together." ”
You are there, I am the best thing.
