1. Introduction: The dream of the brilliant and magnificent martial arts of the rivers and lakes
The world of rivers and lakes is like this, whoever has the faster knife will have the truth" This passionate dialogue has undoubtedly become an unforgettable classic for many audiences.
Back then, we waited in front of the TV screen like crazy, and couldn't wait to look forward to the wonderful presentation of each episode of "Xiao Li Flying Knife", as if waiting for the opening of a feast of rivers and lakes.
Lin Shiyin in the play is dressed in a light veil, and although her delicate face is covered, it adds a little mysterious and charming atmosphere. However, Li Xunhuan, a heroic man with both wisdom and bravery, failed to immediately recognize her identity, which made the audience anxious and eager to cross the screen, give him a stern lesson, and let him understand what it means to learn endlessly.
Whenever the melodious melody of the ending song "What Would You Do Without Me" sounds, people can't help but sing a few words along regardless of whether they are proficient in music or not. The deep emotions contained in the lyrics seem to be the true portrayal of the affectionate confession of the characters in the play to their lovers, which makes people intoxicated, unable to extricate themselves, immersed in the plot of grievances in the rivers and lakes, and forgetting the passage of time.
Looking back on the past, at that time, we were in the prime of our youth, full of vitality and vigor, and Li Xunhuan and other heroes and heroes pursued the dream of the rivers and lakes, acted chivalrous and righteous, and were happy to enmity and revenge. However, that fantastic world of rivers and lakes is only an illusory existence after all, and it is far away from us.
However, what is sad is that the actors who play these roles today have gone through 23 years of baptism, and their style is no longer what it used to be. Their once enthusiastic and heart-wrenching heroic images can only stay in the depths of memory and turn into eternal traces of time.
2. Interlude: 23 years have passed, where are the children of the rivers and lakes now?
23 years have passed in a hurry, and those gods and goddesses who have left a deep impression in your heart, what ups and downs have they experienced in their lives?
Li Xunhuan portrayed by Jiao Enjun was once a personable and heroic martial arts legend. However, in real life, he did not enjoy such brilliant achievements. The failure of two marriages hit him hard, and he gradually fell from a hot star to a situation where there was no drama to play.
Now, at the age of more than half a hundred, although his appearance is aging and unrecognizable, as long as he sees the photo of his daughter Jiao Manting, he will still be ecstatic, canvassing for her votes, likes, and messages on social media, and his love is beyond words.
Lin Liyang, the character we were once familiar with - righteous Bo Yuntian, the brave and fearless Long Xiaoyun, is now a 55-year-old uncle of vicissitudes, because of the compulsion of life, he had to stand in front of the high stove and become a waiter who worked hard day and night.
However, he is full of love for life and hopes to find the sincere emotions in this vast sea of peopleNow, he has just finished a marriage journey and hopes to find his own happiness on the road in the future.
In comparison, Ah Fei played by Wu Jing is undoubtedly much luckier. His image in the play is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, valuing love and righteousness, and outside the play, he is also an iron-clad man, with a thriving career, a happy marriage, and an enviable life.
Alyssa Jia's life experience is even more impressive at the magic of fate. She used to be an unknown "ugly duckling" in the play, but now she has transformed into a beautiful and moving flower, with a happy family and a successful career, and has become a big winner in life.
However, it is a pity that Xiao Qiang, who once fought side by side with Jia Jingwen and was known as "the first beauty in the world", is now 53 years old and is still alone, plagued by plastic surgery and scandals, and her former style has long been gone.
However, the anecdotes of life she shares on social media, as well as her laid-back attitude to life, still make people admire.

She has been controversial for plastic surgery and scandals, but she still shares the bits and pieces of her life on social media, trying to live a leisurely life, this optimistic attitude to life is really admirable.
Zheng Jiaxin, the actor who once played the role of the enchanting and charming Lin Xian'er in the play, showed her graceful posture and soul-stirring eyes on the screen back then, which made the audience fall in love with it.
Today, at the age of 47, she is no longer as passionate about her career as she was when she was younger, but has chosen to stay away from the spotlight and live a quiet and low-key life.
And Yu Feihong, known as the "Amazing Fairy", although she is 51 years old, her appearance still maintains youthful vitality. This peerless beauty, who once wore a light veil and smiled in the play, attracted countless attention, has now transformed into a director and started a new life journey behind the camera.
The contrast between the present and the past of the three of them clearly shows a colorful mirror picture, and the peerless beauties who were once dazzling in the drama series now only reveal a tranquility that has gone through vicissitudes in their eyes as time passes.

This kind of contrast of fate, full of ups and downs, can't help but make people feel emotional and poignant.

Whenever the melody that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people rings in their ears, people are always irresistibly immersed in the ups and downs of the storyline and the ups and downs of the fate of many characters.
In this drama, we witness the stumbling paths that many characters experience in their pursuit of their personal careers. For example, Jiao Enjun, the former youth idol, has gone from being a child to having no drama for various reasons, and has experienced several major setbacks in his life.
It is also amazing that Lin Liyang has also experienced a baptism of sweetness and bitterness in the emotional world, and his two marriages ended in divorce In addition, some people choose to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city, spend their old age peacefully, and live a calm and low-key life, such as Zheng Jiaxin.
However, no matter what situation these characters are currently in, in the minds of the audience, they will always stay in that once sensational era, and they will always be high-spirited, heroic, and beautiful children.
As portrayed in the play – they give us endless passion and romance.
Those sunny days have now been permanently sealed in the long river of history, only the wisps of lingering fragrance are still lingering in the heart, making people feel that time is rushing and cannot be reversed.
Those youthful dreams have long since dissipated in the wind with the passage of time, turning into illusory memories, which can only be found in reminiscences, but can never be recreated.
