Gu Long, this thunderous name, is not only a master of martial arts novels, but also a bright star in the Chinese world. With his outstanding talent and unique creative style, he led the new trend of martial arts novels and was known as the master of the new school of martial arts novels.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes
On June 7, 1938, Gu Long was born in Hong Kong, his real name is Xiong Yaohua. His hometown is Nanchang, Jiangxi, Han nationality. Although the meteor is short-lived, his light is dazzling enough, Gu Long's life is short, only 47 years, but his works have influenced generations of readers. Together with Jin Yong, Liang Yusheng, and Wen Ruian, he is known as the four great masters of Chinese martial arts novels, and their works are widely read and celebrated.
Gu Long's creative style is unique, and he is good at integrating elements such as drama, reasoning, and poetry into traditional martial arts novels, making his works not only have the charm of traditional martial arts novels, but also have the depth and breadth of modern literature. His characters are distinctive, the plot twists and turns, and the language is beautiful and moving. His masterpieces include "The Ruthless Sword of the Amorous Swordsman", "The Peerless Twins", "Heroes Without Tears", etc., which are not only popular in the Chinese-speaking world, but also translated into many languages, influencing readers all over the world.
The pen walks the dragon and snake, and the chic drinker
Gu Long was not only an outstanding writer, but his philosophy of life also deeply influenced his creation. He integrates his own life experience and thinking into his works, so that readers can understand the true meaning of life while reading the story. His works are full of deep insights into human nature and a unique understanding of life, a depth and breadth that no other martial arts novelist can match.
Among the characters created by Gu Long, my personal favorite is Xiao Li Feidao Li Xunhuan in the work "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword". Li Xunhuan is a dashing prodigal son who has fallen into the world's amorous faces, and he is also a tragic hero who values love and righteousness. His whole life has been tormented by physical and mental pain, but he does not easily show joy, anger and sorrow, and his complex inner emotions are all expressed by his eyes. He came from a scholarly family, and was a Tanhualang during the Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen Chenghua period, and later resigned because he was impeached by Hu Yunji. After that, he threw himself into the rivers and lakes, and ranked third in Bai Xiaosheng's weapon spectrum with his flying knife skills.
Li Xunhuan's little Li flying knife dominates the world, but he is not satisfactory in his love life. Li Xunhuan tasted all the love in the world but couldn't, which we can even think that Gu Long is writing an autobiography. Gu Long has had many girlfriends in his life, but he has never found an ideal partner. His first wife was Zheng Yuexia, but this relationship also ended without a problem. Since then, Gu Long has had emotional entanglements with Ye Xue and Mei Baozhu, but they all broke up in the end.
After Gu Long became famous, he had romances with many female stars and celebrities, among which the love affair with Chiyoko (whose real name is Mrs. Jinhua) was even more stormy in the city, and everyone knew about it. However, Gu Long and Li Xunhuan resonated emotionally, so in the face of multiple choices, they swayed left and right, and their relationship ended in tragedy.
The life course of the ancient dragon has not been smooth sailing. He has experienced hardships and setbacks in life, but he has always adhered to his beliefs and pursuits. This tenacity and perseverance are also reflected in his works, which make his works have a strong appeal and vitality.
The fate of different paths
On September 21, 1985, Gu Long died in Taiwan due to liver cirrhosis and venous bleeding at the age of 47. This news is undoubtedly a huge blow to the majority of readers, but his work and spirit will remain in people's hearts forever.
Overall, Gu Long is a great martial arts novelist. He led the new trend of martial arts novels with his outstanding talent and unique creative style. His works not only have literary value, but also have a philosophy of life. His life course is also full of perseverance and perseverance. Although he is no longer with us, his work and spirit will live on forever, influencing generations of readers.
