I myself like Mr. Jin Yong's novels very much, and since I was in school, I must read a Jin Yong novel as long as I have a vacation.
When I was studying at Yale, as long as it was winter and summer vacations, all the Jin Yong novels in the major libraries of American colleges and universities were borrowed by Chinese students long ago.
Sometimes when I get a book, many of the corners are broken and the spines are scattered, but it does not affect me from looking at it over and over again as a treasure.
In fact, not only me, for our generation of people who studied abroad, Jin Yong's novel is a common memory, and it is a rare sweetness in the most bitter study time of that generation of international students.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="12" >01 Read and cry bitterly</h1>
During the time when I was studying in the United States, Jin Yong's novel accompanied me through many difficult times, and I am still moved by it.
I remember that it was a winter vacation, it was snowing heavily outside, the homework report was handed in, and I didn't know how many points the tutor gave, and I was anxious.
The students all went home, and I was the only one in the dormitory, so I went to the library to borrow a set of Jin Yong novels, "The Legend of the Eagle Shooting Hero".
I saw the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan make a bet with Qiu Chuji, and after 18 years, let the next generation who teaches each other compete to see who is stronger.
Qiu taught Yang Kang, and the Seven Heroes taught Guo Jing.
Yang Kang was in the Six King's Mansion and was easy to find, but Guo Jing had long since disappeared because his mother had run away with the Mongol army. So what to do?
Because of this sentence, the Seven Heroes have been looking for 13 years, a full 13 years.
When I saw this paragraph, I couldn't help but cry.
Who does not have a life, who has no feelings, who can not be free from all kinds of entanglements in the world?
But how many people can do it for the sake of a word, leaving everything behind to find the whole lake?
When the Seven Heroes travel all over the country and finally find Guo Jing, as a reader, can you be indifferent?
At that time, I immediately stood up and cried for 30 minutes.
After crying, I felt very relaxed and happy.
Because I can still cry.
When a man can't cry, his life is no longer interesting.
Not being able to sincerely face everything you touch means that there is no sense of communication with people.
It was Jin Yong's novel that allowed me to briefly get out of my boring to almost numb reading life and find the strength to persevere.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="108" >02 The hero in my mind</h1>
I was touched by Jin Yong's novels, and the person I admired the most was not the person with the highest martial arts in the world.
If I had to choose a hero in my mind, I would choose a small person who was not noticed.
It is Ping Ah Si in "Flying Fox Story".
What does Flying Fox write about?
Miao Renfeng fought invincible hands all over the world and dueled with the Kwantung hero Hu Yidao.
At the time of the duel, Hu Yidao's son had just been born, named Hu Fei, who had just been born and was still in his infancy, and his mother was still holding him.
As a result, Hu Yidao was framed by the adulterer, his mother was martyred, and Hu Fei,the little baby was going to die, who would save him?
It's Ping'a Four.
Why did Ping Ah Si save Xiao Hu Fei?
Because hu yidao came to live in the store in the past, he saw that their family was crying, saying that the money borrowed from others could not be repaid, and people wanted debts and committed suicide.
When Hu Yidao heard about it, he actually had such a thing, and immediately took out money to let them pay off their debts. The family's difficulties were over, and Ping Asi was very touched to see it, thinking that I must repay him.
People are Kanto heroes, what kind of character are you? At that time, Ping'a Si was only 15 years old, and he couldn't do martial arts, but he said I wanted to repay him.
As a result, there was a real chance, little Hu Fei, who was about to be killed by the adulterers in his swaddling, and Ping'a Si escaped with him in his arms.
The enemy chased after him, slashed down with a knife, and Ping Asi almost died, floating in the river, being rescued by others, and unconscious for several days and nights before waking up.
This is Jin Yong's little character Ping Asi.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="109" >03 Be a real-life hero</h1>
Every time I see this, I feel that Mr. Jin Yong's writing is really good, and people feel that human nature is really beautiful.
You will feel that even without martial arts, people can still be heroes. How to say?
The so-called "grace of dripping water, gushing springs to repay each other", everyone will say, how many can really do this?
And if this is really done, this person is a person with compassion, a real person!
From Ping Asi, I saw that the real hero was by no means a martial arts master, but a kind of person who could not do martial arts but had a compassionate heart, and knew how to "the grace of dripping water, the fountain of retribution".
Therefore, when I read Jin Yong's novels, what I am often moved by is not the love and hatred of the hero and heroine, but the love and affection of ordinary characters.
From them, you can feel the brilliance from human nature.
In fact, isn't that also the case in our real life?
The martial artists who have achieved great feats and are always in the limelight are always only a few. The vast majority of us will live as ordinary people in this lifetime.
But it does not affect us to be a "hero", to complete ourselves, so that ordinary life shines with the glory of "humanity".
As long as you have confidence, serve the society with a sincere heart for yourself, others, fulfill your responsibilities, and exert your talents, everyone can be the "hero" in their lives.
