Preface
Guo Jing and Huang Rong, this pair of martial arts heroes, their positive light, almost the entire "Legend of the Condor Heroes" shines with incomparable brilliance. However, Guo Fu, the eldest daughter of their first child, is rarely seen in writing. So, what is the end of this young lady from a famous family? Is her fate really just turning into a mist and disappearing in the long river of history?
1. The glory and sacrifice of Guo Jing and Huang Rong
In the Battle of Xiangyang, which resisted the siege of the Yuan army, Guo Jing and Huang Rong, who were close to old age, finally died on the battlefield. However, their sacrifice was by no means meaningless, it was with the decades of hard work of Guo Jing and his wife that Xiangyang City was able to repel strong enemies many times and become a strong fortress to resist the Yuan soldiers and defend the Song Dynasty.
Guo Jing and Huang Rong can be described as well-deserved models of martial arts. No matter where they go, they show the brilliance of chivalrous spirit. Huang Rong single-handedly broke through the top of the light, overwhelming the crowd, and made more than 100 martial arts masters bow down; Guo Jing helped Dali, stood up for Duan Yu, and rescued the suffering several times. The stories of their lives are respectful and uplifting.
Therefore, the sacrifice of Guo and Huang can be said to be heroic to the bone marrow, as if the fire burned out all the brilliant splendor in their lives. With a last stand, they defended Xiangyang City and bought precious respite for the Song Dynasty. This credit is enough to go down in history and be remembered for centuries.
2. The different fates of Guo Poyu and Guo Xiang
After Guo Jing and his wife died in the war against the Yuan, their son Guo Poyu also died in battle. However, her daughter Guo Xiang was in a different place and did not know about this catastrophe. She was still heartbroken for Yang Guo and angry about the loss of the family heirloom knife Dragon Slayer. When she finally let go of this obsession at the age of forty and founded the Emei faction, she could be regarded as really growing up.
Guo Xiang has had a complicated relationship with Guo Fu since he was a child. Guo Fu is always arrogant and arrogant, which makes it difficult for Guo Xiang to open up to her. So Guo Xiang turned to get very close to Yang Guo, who was both civil and military. She was deeply attracted by Yang Guo's personality, and once decided that he would not marry. So the news of losing Yang Guo is really a blow to Guo Xiang.
However, in the end, Guo Xiang still chose to let himself grow. She let go of her thoughts about Yang Guo, and also let go of the pain of losing the Dragon Slayer Knife. At the age of forty, she finally saw the path she should take. So she founded the Emei faction to inherit her parents' legacy and protect the justice of martial arts.
Third, it is possible that Guo Fu survived the Battle of Xiangyang
If Guo Xiang's ending is still to be commented on by future generations, then the fate of the eldest daughter Guo Fu has become a mystery. Some people say that Guo Fu died on the battlefield, and others say that she survived. It's impossible to know how she is.
Guo Fu is rebellious by nature, and he lost his parents, and the endless pain gathered in his heart is difficult for others to understand. She seems to have a domineering personality on the surface, but she is actually extremely sensitive and fragile inside. She uses strength to defend herself, but it often backfires. Many people, including her sister Guo Xiang, find it difficult to like her as an older sister.
However, judging from some clues, Guo Fu is very likely to be rescued by her married husband Yeluqi. Because in Hong Qigong's disclosure, Guo Fu's husband later served as the 21st generation leader of the beggar gang. Therefore, it is very likely that Guo Fu was rescued by Yeluqi when the city was broken in Xiangyang and went to the shore of Dongting Lake in Yuezhou.
Yeluqi is the only person besides her parents who loves her unconditionally and saves her from danger. He is deeply in love with Guo Fu, the cold flower of the martial arts world. Even if Guo Fu has 10,000 shortcomings, she is cute and moving in the eyes of Yeluqi. So when Guo Fu lost her parents and was tortured, Yeluqi did not hesitate to save her. He became a rare hope in Guo Fu's life.
Fourth, the reappearance of Wu Mu's suicide note indicates that Guo Fu is not dead
In addition, in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", Wu Mu's suicide note appeared on Peach Blossom Island. And Guo Jing would never easily hand over such an important relic to outsiders. So it is very likely that Guo Fu transferred it to his uncle Guo Jing.
Guo Xiang was looking for it at the time, Guo Poyu had died in battle, and only Guo Fu could complete this important mission. It can be inferred from this that Guo Fu most likely left Xiangyang with Yeluqi and went to Peach Blossom Island, completed the task assigned by his father, and handed over Wu Mu's suicide note to Zhang Wuji.
This also proves from the side that Guo Fu did not die on the battlefield, but successfully broke through in chaos. The handover of Wu Mu's suicide note is that she did her last bit of effort to complete her responsibilities to her parents. This sense of responsibility and responsibility also makes us admire Guo Fu even more. A woman who looks unruly also has the quality of perseverance in her bones.
Fifth, Jin Yong did not have the intention of saying it explicitly
In fact, Guo Fu's fate is actually full of drama. A martial arts daughter from a famous family, she had a bright future, but she was ruined by a catastrophe. Now, her ending is a mystery, and it seems that only a few words of empty rumors remain.
Mr. Jin Yong actually did it deliberately. He deliberately let Guo Fu's ending continue to be shrouded in fog, so as to stimulate the reader's association and make the vastness of the world of rivers and lakes more vivid and vivid. After all, no matter how big a famous pen is, it can't exhaust all kinds of possibilities between heaven and earth. Leaving a glimmer of life is a more beautiful arrangement.
If Guo Fu's life and death are written directly, it will make readers lose the fun of reverie. Leaving a trace of mystery and guessing her future experience will make readers more integrated into the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes. At the same time, this also gives Guo Fu a new possibility - she may start a new life in an unknown place.
Sixth, no matter what, Guo Fu has remained in people's hearts
Whether Guo Fu is alive or dead, her image has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of readers. A woman with a distinct personality and excellent martial arts, her spirit is always worth remembering.
Maybe she has disappeared in the world, but that proud and uninhibited temperament is still shrouded in the bits and pieces of her life, and everyone who has heard the legend of Guo Fu in the rivers and lakes silently blesses her in their hearts - no matter where you are now, may you be well.
epilogue
Guo Fu is like a bright contradictory star, she shines brightly, but also hides pain, and her complex personality makes her a three-dimensional character. No one will forget the shocking scene of her cutting off Yang Guo's arm, but equally, no one will forget her tragic fate.
In this way, she blended legend, pathos, and madness to become an unforgettable martial arts woman. Even if she lives, she will eventually be annihilated by the years. But as long as someone mentions "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", her name will be mentioned, circulated, and will never disappear.
