In today's online literature circle, the works of Xiao Riding School can always leave a deep and indelible impression.
At least there are three novels written by him that are recognized by online readers, namely "Warriors of the Kingdom", "The Age of Orange and Red" and "The Counterattack of the Horseman" that we are going to talk about today.
When I read "Piff's Counterattack", I mainly went for the fame of the Xiao Riding School. Because I watched "Warriors of the Kingdom" in the early stage, I deeply felt that the protagonist Chen Zikun was galloping in the Republic of China era, happy and tenacious. Later, I watched "The Orange Red Age", the background of the story came to the modern city, and the protagonist Liu Ziguang is a fierce dragon crossing the river, and he is extremely fierce.
After watching the two super cool works of Xiao Riding School, I will have an inexplicable sense of aggrieved when I read "The Counterattack of the Horseman", the protagonist Liu Handong was born as a veteran, and he is super skilled but he can also beat and collect, and he can bend and stretch. It's just that Liu Handong is more helpless in reality, because the challenges and pressures he faces, even Chen Zikun and Liu Ziguang may not be easy to deal with.
Just as in the book, the author Xiao Riding School wrote a paragraph: The so-called counterattack is just an attitude, the counterattack may not be successful, but the counterattack will not necessarily fail, some people fall on the road of counterattack, some people rush to the end, the focus is on the face of the injustice of fate, the difficulty of the world, and the courage to never bow down and admit defeat.
It is this sentence that sums up the experience of the protagonist Liu Handong, his appearance is in the iron slag street that everyone dislikes, like the protagonist in martial arts novels, the starting point of his appearance is very low, but he has Xi a skill in the army, this kind of person is not named, one must be amazing.
In order to survive, Liu Handong's first job after retiring from the army was to be a black car driver, and it was this profession that involved him in the whirlpool of modern cities one after another, and it was these experiences that made this veteran start round after round of counterattacks, including gangster gangsters, big brother. There are even more corrupt officials' yamen and cronies, who use their own strength and resources to do some things that are contrary to justice, ruthlessly provoking Liu Handong's righteous heart.
In the face of these, ordinary people may be indifferent, or they may be insensitive, and some may even grab melon seeds and become melon eaters, most of these people are not personal experiencers, so their choice is understandable. But for Liu Handong, he will not sit idly by, and his choice is that even if he dies in battle, he cannot be a person who is a bag.
Liu Handong thinks so and acts like this. Just as Wang Yangming said "the unity of knowledge and action", Liu Handong learns by doing, and then does it from learning, anyway, action is the medicine to solve all problems, and it is also the only means for ordinary people to counterattack.
Of course, Liu Handong is not counterattacking alone, he has his friends and lovers, like him and the policewoman Ma Ling also fell in love from misunderstanding, and they can also share the same hatred. He also collaborates with private investigators and terminally ill veteran police officers to fight crime.
If "Warriors of the Kingdom" is written about cattle people, they can make contributions in the context of the great era. "The Age of Orange" is about ruthless people who can run rampant in the modern city. Then "The Counterattack of the Horseman" writes about the struggle and resistance of the grassroots in a more complex world.
Although the protagonist Liu Handong was sentenced to ten years in prison for manslaughter at the end of the story, when he was released from prison, his lover Ma Ling and their son Ma Xiaoxi were waiting for him outside, which can be regarded as the biggest counterattack he exchanged for the courage of his husband.
Although Xiao Riding School is good at writing urban or era novels, his writing style and writing can bring people a crisp feeling like reading martial arts novels back then, which is why Xiao Riding School can always be strong in the circle of online writers who are full of masters.
Although "Warriors of the Kingdom" and "The Age of Orange and Red" are both very good-looking, if one of all the works of Xiao Riding School is selected as his masterpiece, I think this "Counterattack of the Horseman" may have more of this temperament.
