Once saw an interesting review online.
One day, when a literary circle was interviewed, he was asked: "You have such a status in the literary world, is your family proud of you?" ”
Unexpectedly, the writer was silent, not knowing how to answer.
The reporter pressed again, and the writer replied: "To tell the truth, my martial arts novels may be okay, but my brothers are better than me in writing poetry, and my niece's romance novels are also very popular." As for other aspects, engaging in architecture is not as good as my brother-in-law, engaging in scientific research is not as good as my brother-in-law, singing is not as good as my sister, where can I be proud? ”
Although it is an interesting fabrication and sounds like Versailles, what he says is all true.
Because this literary circle was originally named Zha Liangyong, and his pen name was Jin Yong.
His cousin was Xu Zhimo, the representative poet of the "Crescent Moon Sect".
His brother of the same ethnic group was the representative poet MuDan of the "Nine Leaf Poetry School".
His cousin niece is the famous writer Qiong Yao, who is known as the "godmother of romance".
Among his relatives were the famous educator Zha Liangzhao, the famous architect Cao Shizhong, and the famous soprano singer Jiang Ying. In addition, his cousin-in-law is Qian Xuesen, the founder of China's aerospace industry.
With such a luxurious group of relatives and friends, it is really difficult to do extraordinary Ersai.

The pen name Jin Yong is taken from the character "镛" in the real name Zha Liangyong, and is divided into two, that is, Jin Yong.
In 1924, Jin Yong was born in Haining, Zhejiang Province, to a family of scholars. When he was young, Jin Yong was a typical "school bully" + "school bully".
In junior high school, his grades were always among the best, and his mind was very smart. At that time, his writing skills began to be revealed, but the first book he wrote was not a novel, but a book he co-edited with his classmates, "Dedicated to Those Who Apply for Junior High School", which can be said to be the "xueba" notes of the Republic of China era.

Of course, his bully is not worrying.
In high school, because he was not accustomed to the behavior of the school's director of education, he wrote an article called "Alice's Wanderings", blatantly quoting the director's classic quote "I tell you never to oversize", published in the school's poster, and the money was directly left behind by his own name.
The director of discipline was very angry when he learned of this, and finally Jin Yong was ordered to withdraw from school and could only transfer to another school.
After graduating from high school, he was admitted to the Department of Foreign Affairs of the Central Chengchi University, but because he was not accustomed to the "fascist" atmosphere of the school, he clashed with the students and was expelled again.
Originally a proper school bully, stunned because of the just chivalrous spirit to become a school bully, the resume also added two "black material".
But this regret did not make him "long remember", but forged his fearless character.
In 1947, Jin Yong joined the Ta Kung Pao and successively served as an interpreter, reporter, and editor.

During this period, he was outspoken and published several editorials from the perspective of international law;
Later, he founded Ming Pao, and even more did not dare to say anything, and a small newspaper that almost survived by serializing his martial arts novels continued to grow and develop.
At that time, Jin Yong wrote editorials with one hand and novels with the other, with editorials of 2,000 words and novels of 5,000 words, with one hand splashing ink on the rivers and lakes, and the other hand writing into the people.
In this way, he persisted for more than 20 years.
Under Jin Yong's painstaking management and many attempts, Ming Pao became a first-class newspaper group, and later became known as the "Times" in Hong Kong.
Jin Yong also became "the first intellectual in China to get rich in five thousand years."
If it is said that the "chivalry" when he was young was a young and promising spirit; then the later "chivalry" was more of a righteous spirit of the people.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">03</h1>
Reading Mr. Jin Yong's works carefully, you will find that many of the male characters in his writing are all heroic bones, worried about the country and the people, in fact, what is revealed between the words is his own experience and shadow.
Guo Jing in "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter", upright and kind, no matter who he has good thoughts about, when the Jin soldiers invaded, he called on a group of loyal and sincere chivalrous people to die in Xiangyang, and finally died in battle;
Zhang Wujie in "The Book of the Slaughtering dragon in the Heavens", his parents died for the persecution of the six major factions, but when the six major factions besieged the Bright Peak and fought with the Ming Sect, they put down the blood sea of deep hatred and mediated from it, and even struggled to rescue the leaders of the six major factions when the imperial court imprisoned them.
The heroes at that time were selfless in their hearts, and only the court and the people.
Of course, not all heroes meet the definition of perfectionism in the world, such as Yang Guo in "The Condor Heroes".
Before the opening of the trick, Yang Guo's body was full of childishness, "Whoever is good to me, I will be good to whom."
When Guo Jing was good to him, he tried to perform, and even pleased; when Guo Jing sent him to the Quanzhen Sect, he felt that this was a disguised drive away from him, so he looked down on Guo Jing from his heart.
At that time, he did not have much family and country righteousness in his heart.
In 1960, Jin Yong took a photo with the protagonist of "Eagle Hero"
But after the opening of the trick, Yang Guo was completely different.
When Guo Fu cut off an arm, he turned around without complaint; separated from his aunt, he endured heartache and accompanied by the divine eagle, and practiced martial arts hard.
Yang Guo, who had faded into a childish body, understood how to serve the country for the family and truly became a hero of the divine eagle.
Of course, I have to say that there is also Wei Xiaobao in Mr. Jin Yong's sealed work "Deer DingJi".
When many people think of Wei Xiaobao, the first impression is his flow, seven flowers surrounded by beautiful people, which can be described as the bliss of life.
Of course, there will also be many people who are not accustomed to Wei Xiaobao's flattering posture, nod their heads, and kneel down to beg for forgiveness at every turn, without the slightest heroism.
But it was this kind of Wei Xiaobao who helped the Kangxi Emperor to make great achievements in defending foreign enemies, ping san fan, and capturing Ao bai.
When we grow up, we will find that the world is not as perfect as imagined, and the heroism of the imagination of the youth will be somewhat condescending in the face of reality.
We all have to learn to compromise with life, but this is not the loss of the hero, but the transformation and maturity of the hero.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">04</h1>
Although he has stepped on the rivers and lakes, the real-life Jin Daxia rarely admits that he is brave, and has always been humble, "During the entire Period of the War of Resistance, there was only one thing that felt a little courage. ”
It was 1941, the Japanese army dropped germ bombs in Quzhou, Quzhou broke out a serious plague, and at that time, Jin Yong was studying in Quzhou No. 1 Middle School.
His classmate Mao Liangkai was unfortunately infected with the plague, and the people in the city were panicked and fled, and even a person with a handle could not be found.
In desperation, the class teacher hired two farmers at a high price and carried Mao Liangkai to the isolation boat on a stretcher, while Jin Yong, as the squad leader, followed the stretcher on that frightening night until Mao Liangkai was sent to the river.
At that time, although Jin Yong was only 17 years old, his heart was full of love and fearlessness.
Later, whether he was a newspaper editor or a writer, he always maintained the integrity and enthusiasm of the beginning and the feeling of home and country for the country and the people.
But even if the hero is legendary, it is also indispensable to controversy.
Yang Guo was like this, Wei Xiaobao was like this, jin Yong was like this.
Wang Shuo once publicly wrote a criticism of Jin Yong's work, "The plot is repetitive, the writing is long-winded, it is always a fight when you meet, and the partial deviation that can be clearly said in a sentence is not clear..."
(Writer Wang Shuo)
Wang Shuo also listed Jin Yong's martial arts novels as one of the "Four Great Customs" in Hong Kong, the other three customs being the "Four Heavenly Kings", "Jackie Chan Movies" and "Qiong Yao Novels".
It should be known that Jin Yong was a school bully who wrote articles satirizing the director of teaching when he was a teenager, and many people thought that he would be very angry, or treat him in his own way, and write articles to honor Wang Shuo.
But what is surprising is that Jin Yong not only did not get angry, but praised Wang Shuo's humorous style and hoped to make friends.
In this controversy, Jin Yong seems to have lost, but more often, it is the informality of those who have become big things.

The ancients had clouds: "You can't be proud of yourself for a while, and you can't boast of your ability; you can't be frustrated by a moment and fall into your own ambitions." ”
Life is a long road, and ups and downs are common things.
You can't overestimate yourself because of a momentary triumph, and you can't lose the will to struggle because of a momentary frustration. Only by grasping the scale of progress and retreat can we navigate the road of life with ease.
In 1972, after completing the last chapter of "Deer Ding", Mr. Jin Yong announced that he would seal his pen from then on, so that Jin Yong's martial arts legend would completely stay in "flying snow and shooting white deer in the sky, laughing book god hero leaning on bi duck";
In 1989, at the tea party for the 30th anniversary of the founding of Ming Pao, Jin Yong announced his resignation as president, and at that time, Ming Pao was already a large newspaper group with a market value of about 1 billion.
Whether it is fame or profit, when it is time to put it down, he will leave calmly and calmly.
As he held honorary positions at several prestigious schools, he entered the school at the age of 81 and became a student again.
When you advance, you retreat, and when you retreat, this is the hero's frankness.
Mr. Once Famously Said: "Life is a big fight, and then turn around and leave." ”
Entering the rivers and lakes, retreating is safe, I think, this is the best life of a hero.
Looking back at the news of Mr. Mister's sudden death in 2018, I couldn't believe it, and after repeated confirmation, I believed it was true.
For a time, the information about Mr. Jin Yong on the Internet was overwhelming, and at that time, I even hated the Internet age, because even if I didn't want to see it or listen, I couldn't avoid it.
In the TV series "Little Joy", there is a scene of Fang Yuan getting drunk late at night.
Fang Yuan, who was holding his lover and crying and intermittently saying "Mr. Jin Yong is gone", is the epitome of many teenagers who once dreamed of fighting swords to go to the end of the world.
For this era, what we lose is a master, and for ourselves, what we lose is the memory of a few hours that we can never go back to.
March 10 is the birthday of Mr. Jin Yong, and I would like to commemorate this hero who quietly left.
Thanks to Him, we have placed our youth, which we have nowhere to stay.
