In Mr. Jin Yong's classic martial arts novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the love story of the protagonists Guo Jing and Huang Rong deeply attracted readers. However, behind this twists and turns in the story, we can't help but think about a question: why is Huang Rong, who is also extremely beautiful, ignored by Yang Kang?
What we need to understand is that the character settings in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" are not static, and each character has their own unique personality traits and background experiences. And these factors tend to influence how one person perceives another.
For Yang Kang, he was taught by his father to be a wise and martial hero since he was a child, and his ideal was to make a great career for the country and the people. Such a concept of life made him feel at a loss when facing Huang Rong.
Although Huang Rong is smart, witty, lively and cute, she does not conform to the image of "virtuous and virtuous" in Yang Kang's heart. Huang Rong's family background also makes her seem out of place in some ways. As the daughter of a wealthy family, her lifestyle clashed with the unpretentious lifestyle pursued by Yang Kang.
Yang Kang also has a deep sense of inferiority. Because of his experience of being abandoned by his parents, his longing for his relatives and his recognition of his identity are higher than ordinary people. Therefore, when he saw those people with prominent backgrounds around Huang Rong, he would feel his status humble. This mentality undoubtedly made it more difficult for him to accept Huang Rong's feelings.
Huang Rong is not a woman who can be easily impressed. She has her own persistence and principles, and she is also very rational about feelings. Even if Yang Kang showed her favor many times, she did not agree immediately, but chose to observe and understand the other party. This made Yang Kang feel frustrated, and began to wonder if his charm was enough to attract Huang Rong.
We must take into account the development of the plot of the novel. Under the plot arrangement of the novel, the love between Huang Rong and Guo Jing gradually warms up, and Yang Kang chooses to betray them. This ending made many people puzzled by Yang Kang's behavior.
But if we think about it from another perspective, we may understand that his decision was not impulsive. Because he loves his country and nation deeply, he is willing to pay any price, even his emotions, in order to realize his ideals.
Despite Huang Rong's beautiful appearance and intelligence, she did not occupy an important place in Yang Kang's heart. The reasons may include many factors such as differences in their values, low self-esteem, attitudes towards feelings, and the need for the development of the plot of the novel. Of course, this is just my personal understanding, and you can also find other angles to interpret this issue. In any case, we should respect the choices of each character, as they all have their own life trajectories and values.
