In that year, a "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" successfully won the Oscar and won numerous awards, making Wang Dulu's name a household name and a great reputation. In fact, Wang Dulu is not a nameless person, when he and the "Fantasy Immortal Sect" returned the Pearl House Lord, the "Social Irony Faction" Gong Baiyu, the "Gang Technique Strike Faction" Zheng Zhengyin, and the "Strange Reasoning Faction" Zhu Zhenmu collectively called the "Five Greats of the Northern Sect". Wang Dulu's works were all the rage in the 1930s and 1940s, and they were very popular, but later when the new school of works came out, he almost disappeared, and if it were not for the big director Ang Lee who made his works, he might have been silent for a longer time. And his representative work "Crane Iron Five" in the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is the most successful work.
In the book, Yu Jiaolong, as the daughter of the Nine Gate Admiral, although she loved Luo Xiaohu, but in order to protect the reputation of her father and brother, she had to marry the ugly Hanlin Lu Junpei, when Yu Jiaolong and Lu Junpei were on the day of the great joy, Luo Xiaohu came to get married, so Yu Jiaolong ran away, and then Yu Jiaolong ran rampant with the stolen "Qing Hao Sword", and later was subject to Geng Liuniang for stealing the "Jiuhua Secret Book", for which she was besieged by Li Mubai, Yu Xiulian and other "chivalrous righteousness", and later met with Luo Xiaohu, hindered by the concept of feudal mendi, thinking that the daughter of Houmen could not commit herself to thieves after all, and survived overnight So a man rode alone with a sword and walked away from the desert.
It can be said that the content of the story is very rich, the character of Yu Jiaolong is extremely successful, dares to love and dare to hate, a heroic jianghu woman, a rebellious character who is competitive and competitive, and does not accept defeat, which is very pitiful. However, they could not break through the shackles of the traditional concept of famous religions, did not dare to "corrupt the door style", and could only leave with a broken heart. This feudal concept of mendi exposes the scourge of the world. And The mangy Man Luo Xiaohu is also really liked, since childhood, muddy, do not know the world, but the obsession with Yu Jiaolong, but it is touching, putting life and death aside, even in the face of the abuse of the enemy, it does not lose the good man and hero nature of the iron Zhengzheng. However, Li Mubai's description may not be so pleasing, the personality is indecisive, can not be lifted, can not be put down, stubborn and rigid, Yu Xiulian is also involved in it, although the martial arts are basically invincible, but there are indeed too many shortcomings. It's really less likable relative to the protagonist.
As a representative work of tragic martial arts works, the "Crane Iron Five" is very successful, although the most impressive is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but the other works are inseparable from each other. Wang Dulu created a new world of martial arts novels with the style of romance novels. Be able to fully grasp the inner contradictions of the children of the jianghu, the struggle of human nature, and the complex situation of love and hate, and deepen the love of enmity and hatred into the soul of the martial arts novel. The simple and simple description is also the characteristic of Wang Dulu's works, using the simplest and most simple language to reveal a profound human nature, for the idea of tragedy, more is the manipulation of fate and the helplessness of the world, not the kind of blind sacrifice, but to the reader is the reality and ruthlessness of the human world.
At that time, the film version of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" came out, and now the memory is still fresh, and the filming is really good, although from the current point of view, Wang Dulu's depiction skills may not be popular, but Wang Dulu's works, whether it is on the martial arts community at that time, or on the development of later martial arts novels, its influence can not be ignored.
