What kind of character image is created in Mr. Lao She's "Soul-Breaking Gun"

The protagonist of "Soul-Breaking Gun" - Sha Long

Sha, known as the magic gun, was originally the chief escort of the escort agency and later opened an inn

According to Lao She Judging from the background of writing at that time

He was a man with superb martial arts, far-sightedness, and generally understood that the progress of social civilization must require concessions on the road of backward things

Therefore, he would rather let his peerless martial arts go to waste. He has no descendants to pass on and is unwilling to hinder the development of the times

The character of Shazilong in the novel is slightly dual. On the one hand, he is unswerving in front of his apprentices and outsiders and no longer mentions his martial arts and deeds. Revisiting his martial arts alone at night proves that his choice indeed went through complicated thinking and struggle, but he finally chose a posture that is in sync with society

But if we look at this kind of martial arts from today's perspective The loss of unique skills is the misfortune of the times. As we move forward, we must not forget those traditional things. They may not have a place in the new era
