Lin Qingxuan (1953-2019), born in Kaohsiung, Taiwan Province of China, graduated from the World News College in Taiwan. Contemporary writer, essayist, poet, scholar. He is the author of the essay "The Cuckoo of Chataka". He once served as an overseas reporter of China Times in Taiwan, an economic reporter of Industry and Commerce Times, and the editor-in-chief of Times Magazine. His representative works include "Mahogany", "Ten Books of Bodhi", "Lotus of Purity" and so on.

Gu Long (1938~1985), formerly known as Xiong Yaohua, pen name Gu Long, born in Nanchang, Jiangxi, Han ethnicity, born in Hong Kong. Graduated from Tamkang University in Taiwan. A famous Chinese martial arts novelist, together with Jin Yong, Liang Yusheng and Wen Ruian, he is known as the four masters of Chinese martial arts novels. Representative works include "Little Li Flying Knife", "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword", "Peerless Double Pride", "Hero Without Tears" and so on. On September 21, 1985, he died in Taiwan at the age of 48 due to cirrhosis and venous hemorrhage.

When Lin was an editor in the supplement of China Times, he often went to Gu Daxia for a manuscript. Gu Long said, "If you don't drink with me, I won't write to you." At that time, when the two were young and happy to drink, they often simply poured Shaoxing yellow wine into two basins - "dry basin".

The two also often soaked in the hot springs together. Gu Daxia would strip naked, and at this time, Lin Writer saw Gu Daxia's body with knife scars - because he often slashed and killed people when he was young. Therefore, Gu Daxia's martial arts novels are actually his life, but he beautifies the protagonist - he himself is not handsome and tall, but writes a handsome male protagonist like Chu Liuxiang.

In the last week before Gu Daxia's death, Lin Writer went to see him, and he also wrote a picture to give to Lin Writer -- "Strange flowers and hair can slowly get drunk", and then he said: "I want to tell you an important thing, wine is not a good thing." At that time, he was all in the advanced stage of cirrhosis of the liver, which can also be regarded as the end of his life.

After his death, friends bought 48 bottles of XO for him to accompany him to the funeral. 4,000 Taiwan dollars a bottle, Lin writer is worried that this will be robbed of the tomb, suggested that the lid of the bottle be opened. In this way, even if the ancient hero lies in the tomb, he is drunk with fine wine!

Is the name of Gulongshui taken from the meaning of "Gulong-(Chu) Liuxiang"? Or did Xiong Yaohua's creativity come from Gulongshui when he named himself and named Chu Liuxiang?
