"Crossing the Guandong" has attracted wide attention with its profound character descriptions and emotional portrayals.
In the novel, the marriage between Zhu Chuanwu and Xiu'er has become a major focus, but the real reason for it has never been clear to Xiu'er.
01 Chuanwu and Xiu'er's marriage
The day before the wedding, Chuanwu and Xian'er were bathed in the warm twilight light. They chose to spend this special night together in the mountains and forests, away from the hustle and bustle.
The faint starlight through the trees adds a touch of mystery to the moment. Xian'er's eyes flashed with happiness, and her soft smile revealed her expectations for her future life.
The affection between the two gradually sublimated, surpassing the former comradeship. In this quiet night, Chuanwu felt a closeness that he had never felt before.
They share visions for the future, open their hearts to each other, and share their innermost secrets.
This experience not only laid the groundwork for the follow-up story, but also ignited a spark of special feelings for Xian'er in the depths of Chuanwu's heart.
However, the joy of the newlywed left a brief mark on Chuan Wu's life. In order to solve the water source problem, Zhu Kaishan and Han Laohai had no choice but to marry Chuanwu and Xiu'er, and this sudden marriage arrangement made Chuanwu's heart churn.
Chuanwu originally thought that he would live a happy married life and spend his life with Xian'er. However, reality unexpectedly plunged him into an uncontrollable emotional vortex.
This forced marriage became a huge obstacle in his life, making him feel emotional and helpless in life.
For Chuanwu, marriage is no longer a symbol of his happy future with his beloved, but a game of fate in which he has no choice.
This forced marriage made Chuan Wu dissatisfied, and he expressed strong disgust and resistance to this marriage in his heart.
In the face of this sudden situation, Chuanwu even chose to go on a hunger strike to resist marriage, trying to get rid of this unfortunate fate through extreme means.
His decision is a strong counterattack to the family arrangement, and an insistence on his pursuit of true love and freedom.
This forced marriage becomes the beginning of an emotional dilemma, and Chuanwu finds himself trapped in a quagmire from which he cannot escape, and his heart is full of struggle and pain.
In this story, marriage changes from the initial vision of happiness to a heavy burden in Chuanwu's life, casting a shadow on his life.
Xiu'er has a deep affection for Chuanwu, and she will do anything to cater to Chuanwu in order to get his approval. However, this effort was not reciprocated by Chuanwu.
Chuanwu is immersed in his antipathy to marriage, and it is difficult to release his true emotions. Xiu'er's affection is in stark contrast to Chuanwu's deep struggle, making the whole story full of dramatic tension.
02 Xian'er and Chuanwu's past
The experience in Yamabazi became the emotional meeting point between Xian'er and Chuanwu. These two people who married on the battlefield can't get out of the whirlpool of feelings.
Chuanwu's feelings for Xian'er are complex and profound, containing not only the feelings of comrades-in-arms, but also the gratitude for her life-saving grace.
On that barren mountain field, Chuanwu and Xian'er faced the war together, depended on each other, and survived the test of life and death together. This special experience has strengthened the bond between the two.
However, despite their marriage, Chuanwu's love for Xian'er has never really come true. Xian'er's feelings for Chuanwu have long gone beyond the simple friendship of comrades-in-arms, but Chuanwu has never been able to get out of the shadow of this emotion.
Xian'er became one of the causes of the martial arts knot. Chuanwu is deeply grateful for her courage on the battlefield and the grace of salvation, but this gratitude does not translate into deep love for her.
This makes Chuanwu fall into an emotional dilemma in his marriage to Xiu'er. He tried to develop real feelings for Xiu'er, but Xian'er in his heart followed him like a shadow, so he couldn't fully devote himself.
What's more complicated is that Chuanwu's feelings for Xian'er are not simple admiration, but a complex emotional interweaving.
The bond between them is not only the tacit understanding between comrades-in-arms, but also affected by Xian'er's life-saving grace at the moment of life and death.
This mixed emotion makes it difficult for Chuanwu to walk on the road of emotion, and his real devotion to Xiu'er has always been restricted.
Chuanwu's heart knot is not only incomprehensible to Xian'er's feelings, but also responsibility and guilt for Xiu'er.
The whole story unfolds in this emotional bond, and Chuanwu's inner entanglement and emotional distress will bury the suspense of the subsequent plot, making this emotional dispute an important and complex emotional clue in the novel.
03 Xiu'er's humility and loss
Xiu'er put in hard work and effort in order to pass on martial arts, but the final marriage ended in failure. Her dedication and persistence become a harrowing part of the novel, revealing the uncertainty and cruelty of love.
Chuanwu's heart wall makes Xiu'er unable to be truly accepted by him, and her humility and dedication become a painful footnote, outlining an image full of loss and contradictory emotions in her heart.
Zhu Kaishan and Han Laohai carried out a water source exchange marriage transaction for the benefit of their respective families, and this transaction involved Xiu'er's sacrifice behind it.
This is not only a personal injury to Xiu'er, but also a deep reflection on morality and humanity in the whole story.
Xiu'er becomes a victim of interest in this marriage, and her inner conflict and helplessness become a heart-wrenching picture in the novel.
As the marriage ends in failure, Xiu'er falls into inner loss and deep conflict. She made great efforts to get Chuanwu's recognition and love, but in the end she failed to break the inherent wall in Chuanwu's heart.
The failure of this marriage became part of Xiu'er's fate, and it also made readers think more deeply about the complexity and cruelty of love.
Eventually, Xiu'er and Ichiro came together, and Chuanwu also agreed to divorce. This plot shows Xiu'er's relief and loss after losing her martial arts.
She found a new reliance in her new life, and it also drew a full end to the whole story.
This episode reflects Xiu'er's tenacity and courage, and also draws a happy end to the complex emotional threads in the story.
Chuanwu's heart for Xian'er has always been unshakable, making his feelings for Xiu'er unable to really sprout.
This unrealizable heartbeat makes Chuanwu fall into deep emotional distress, adds a layer of heavy emotional color to the whole story, and also presents readers with a picture of love full of struggle and helplessness.
