The martial arts in Mo Yan's "Late Blooming Man Fighter" is a fierce-looking evil person who dares to fight against the world around him alone.
Also a lonely, weak and poor man.
A lonely weakling
In that era, the martial arts family was not well born, ugly and poor, and the voice was not as good as that of a man or a woman, which was very unpleasant.
He was bare-chested, seemingly carefree, but in fact there was no one to accompany him, to take care of him, and no children to tie him up.
His creed is: A person lives a lifetime, and the fight is a breath!
However, from the world's point of view, his poverty and the beating of bare sticks, instead of fighting for a breath, had no wife and no queen, and was ashamed of his ancestors.
Because of this, he does things without scruples.
Everyone was afraid of him, hiding from him, and despising him in their hearts.
He was lonely, stubborn, and eager to be noticed.
So he did evil again and again to refresh his sense of existence.
As a result, it is hated and hated again and again.
He is not Quasimodo, the ugly on the outside and beautiful and kind on the inside of Notre Dame de Paris.
He was just a Wu BaoHu martial artist who was ugly, immoral in his mouth, and had done a lot of evil things.
A stubborn fighter
In this life of martial arts, he dares to challenge anyone who is above him, and dares to struggle with any form of strong man.
At the end of every struggle, he was the winner.
First, fight with the superior Fang Mingde - living through others in age is also a victory
Fang Mingde is not only the village chief, but also has a huge family behind him, which is higher than martial arts in terms of force, assistance, power, and intelligence.
Such an absolute advantage has made Wu Gong always in a weak position in the struggle against him on the surface.
However, martial arts are villains, and villains have their own methods of villains.
He soaked the poisonous steamed bun with pesticides and poisoned the big fat pig of Fang Mingde's eldest son's family.
After Fang Mingde's death, he went to the county to report that Fang Mingde's sons were secretly mourning, and cut off the way for Fang Mingde's sons to continue to receive the rongjun subsidy.
This is the way of revenge of martial arts: I can't fight you, I can take revenge on your children and grandchildren; if I can't fight you, I can still live through you, and the one who laughs to the end is the big winner.
Second, fight with the physically strong Wang Kui - not physical strength, mouth to come together
Martial arts could not defeat Wang Kui.
But Wu Gong has a stinky mouth that scolds people and spews feces.
Tell the truth about the intimidation: barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes, you have a family and a mouth, I am alone.
Mental destruction: shouting directly to Wang Kui: "Your son is not yours!" ”
What can I do if I meet such a person? Wang Kui had beaten martial arts, but he couldn't block his immoral mouth, and he couldn't afford to provoke it, so he could only hide.
After the reform and opening up, Wang Kui dragged his family away from the village with his mouth and never returned.
Wu Gong won again.
Scolding Wang Kui away may not be the result of Wu Gong's expectations, but it is another victory in the history of Wu Gong struggle.
Third, fight with people who are equal in combat effectiveness -- not in the open, but in the dark
Wu Gong and Huang Rat fight and lose.
But he still stuck his neck and said harshly: I am not finished with you in this life!
On a dark night, Wu Gong took a sickle and cut off all the corn in the Huang Rat's family's acre of land.
Wu Gong felt that he had won again.
Did Wu Gong really win?
He survived Fang Mingde and remained alone.
He scolded Wang Kui and did not share more rations.
He cut down the corn of the Yellow Rat's family, harming others and himself, and he was tired in the middle of the night.
But he really didn't lose. He had only himself and a bad reputation, and nothing could be lost.
Perhaps, it is this tireless fighting spirit that supports the tenacious life of martial arts.
Perhaps, it is this unscrupulous sense of revenge that has always stood up to the breath of the martial arts heart.
Once this fighting spirit is lost, martial arts really don't exist.
A man who still has respect in his heart
"I," my father said, a person like Wu gong is really difficult to deal with, and he has been entangled for a lifetime.
"I," my mother said, this martial art is really not a good thing. Whoever is going to offend him will not want to live a good life in this life. ”
Martial arts are indeed so.
But perhaps because "my" family and he are distant relatives, or "my" parents have a place for him to respect, Wugong did not fight with "my" parents.
Because of Wang Kui's affair, his father slapped him and told him to shut up.
He did not fight back or scold, and said seriously: You are a respected chief, you can beat me, but you can't stop me from speaking.
And many of the evil things that I know about martial arts are told to my mother by martial arts himself.
- Wu Gong trusts his mother and is willing to confide in his mother.
Because of the existence of "my" parents, Wu Gong's body has a little more vitality and a little more human temperature.
Somewhat related, "my" parents wouldn't drive him outside.
Walking around a few more times, and not being targeted, "my" parents did not refuse frequent visits from martial arts.
Taking the initiative to confide in her heart, taking the initiative to confess the "bad things" she had done, and "my" mother listened in secret, so that Wugong felt trusted, listened to, and seen.
From this point of view, martial arts have not lost their conscience and are useless.
He should be a poor man who has walked alone in the darkness for too long, who craves the light too much, but does not know how to obtain it.
People like Wugong still exist in many rural and urban areas of modern times.
Even, we've all been there.
They have no family, no family and friendship, and no love.
They existed like silk silk, like sneakers in the night, attracting attention in ugly, dark ways.
Is it a disguised request for attention? Or is it deliberately disgusting to others?
Do you want to be loved, or do you want to destroy the beauty you don't have?
Is it the distortion of division caused by special circumstances, or is it driven by the inherent evil of sex?
If such a person appears in our world, will we pity him, or do we hate him? Or is it better to ignore and avoid it from afar?
