Yang Kang, Jin Yong owes you an explanation.

Recently, I chased several new episodes of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, which was quite impressive. Looking at the small fresh meat galloping in the rivers and lakes after 90, and then watching yourself "resurrect", I have to feel that the years are really killing pigs!

The above is a joke, get down to business.

In the first 18 episode, Yang Kang knew his life story and vowed to kill Hong Yan Honglie, but when he really put the knife rest on Hong Yan Honglie's chest, he couldn't. After all, it is eighteen years of father-son relationship. What a tangled contradiction it is! At that time, I felt that the role of Yang Kang was finally played.

Poor Yang Kang. How can it be pathetic?

Children lie to their parents in other people's homes, but he is cheated by his parents. Born in Daikin Palace, his mother never mentioned his life experience, so he thought he was the little prince of Daikin from the moment he remembered, and all his outlook on life and values were based on it. When he was about to go out to pick up girls and play cool, suddenly a group of people jumped out and said to him, "You are not a gold man, you are a Song man, you have to help us cut your father!" " And this group of people is headed by Guo Jing.

People's hearts are all meat. This Hongyan Honglie is not the real thing. After all, Yang Kang was brought up from childhood. It's been 18 years. You have to have feelings to raise huskies, right? Besides, Hong Yan Lie Hong really didn't need to say anything about Yang Kang. He is not so much his own son as his own. Who can do it if he has a little conscience?

Yang Kang can't do it anyway. On the one hand, he killed his father; on the other hand, he raised him. This is the real dilemma. As a result, he refused to hack his father to death with everyone, so people with lofty ideals in the Jianghu refused. One mouthful is "greed for vanity" and the other is "recognizing the thief as the father", which are aimed at him and repel him, and finally push Yang Kang to Hong Yanlie's side.

Sometimes I think: If it weren't for Guo Jing, Yang Kang probably wouldn't go to extremes. They are all talented young people aged 18. When he first came out of the Jianghu and tried to ride on the wings of an eagle, Guo Jing was in a much better situation than Yang Kang: he got to know Huang Rong, a "brain trust", learned the eighteen palms of the dragon and learned the Nine Yin Scriptures in one meal. The progress of Wushu is as fast as doping.

What about Yang Kang? I studied fur kung fu with Qiu Chuji for several years, and then Niu Nose disowned him. I finally learned something from Mei Chaofeng, and Mei Chaofeng wanted to break his hand again. Do you think it's pathetic? Others also calculate, mediocre talent Guo Jing must be better than him everywhere, young people are competitive, where to put Yang Kang's self-esteem?

Guo Jing's attitude towards Yang Kang is actually very simple: "Your father is a bad man, you have to cut him with us! My master is Hong Qigong, my father-in-law is, my righteous brother is Zhou, and my martial arts is better than yours. You have to listen to me! "

Yang Kang certainly won't promise! Why did you frame my life? As a result, he stood on the opposite side of the world, and only Hong Yan Honglie stood firmly behind him. On the one hand, it is the moral restraint of Jianghu heroes, on the other hand, it is the sincere heart of King Dajin. If you were Yang Kang, what would you choose?

You, how to choose?

There is another character in Mr. Jin Yong's works who is similar to Yang Kang's experience, that is, the Qiao Feng I mentioned earlier (article link: "The Tragic Character of the Jianghu with the Same Name as" North Qiao Feng Nan Murong "), and his life is also eventful:

Yang Kang was brought up by Jin people, only to know that he was a Song people, and only when he was brought up by Song people did he know that he was a Liao people.

Both of them have become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh;

Both of them ended badly and died.

But why did Qiao Feng become a hero with the same fate and the same ending, while Yang Kang became the scum in the Jianghu?

This also comes from Mr. Jin Yong's view of history:

1955, Mr. Jin Yong finished his first martial arts novel, The Book of the Sword, Appreciation of Hatred. Chen Jialuo, the hero, led the Han people to resist the Manchu rule with the goal of fighting against the Qing Dynasty and regaining sight, but in the end he failed.

1959, Mr. Jin Yong completed The Legend of the Condor Heroes, in which Guo Jing, the hero, helped Genghis Khan destroy Daikin and turned to help Dasong fight against Mongolia.

In both novels, the protagonists are "chivalrous men, serving the country and serving the people", with unshakable views on right and wrong, but they don't know where to go in the vast rivers and lakes.

By A.D. 196 1 year, Mr. Jin Yong had finished The Condor Heroes and The Dragon Slayer with Eternal Reliance, and the theme was still to resist foreign aggression, while Yang Guo and Zhang Wuji chose to retire and live in seclusion, from which we can already see the change of Mr. Jin Yong's mentality.

This is the first stage of Mr. Jin Yong's writing process, aiming at national justice, but it also expresses his doubts and confusion about "chivalrous culture"

1966, Tian Ba Long Bu came out, and Qiao Feng, the most important figure in the history of Jin Yong's novels, appeared. Qiao Feng experienced the ups and downs of his life and witnessed the killing outside Yanmenguan. He examined the true meaning of war from the perspective of God-that is, war is meaningless.

As Qiao Feng said in Eight Dragons, "Song people are human beings, Liao people are human beings, and everyone is human beings. What's the point of killing? "

It is estimated that Mr. Jin Yong said the same thing in his heart.

This is the second stage of Mr. Jin Yong's writing process, and the theme has jumped out of the cage of nationalism. "Humanity" has become the first theme at this stage: no one is wrong, only this war is wrong, life is lost, and humanity is lost.

It was not until 1972 that Mr. Jin Yong finished the last martial arts novel Duke of Lushan in his career, taking Wei Xiaobao as the "big stallion" to overthrow and ridicule the "chivalrous culture" and the universal view of right and wrong.

This is the third and final stage of Mr. Jin Yong's writing, satirizing chivalry, traditional culture and all values.

The Legend of the Condor Heroes was completed when Mr. Jin Yong's view of history was still in the first stage. The hero Guo Jing's "chivalrous man, serving the country and benefiting the people" is not true nationalism, and Jin Song's successive campaigns are also domestic national wars, which are essentially different from China and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.

Guo Jing is a typical "ass decides head". He is from the Song Dynasty. He only knew Song Chaoming, and the Jin Dynasty was dark. But what if he was a A Jin dynasty? Will he still think so?

Guo Jing said to Yang Kang, "You michel platini killed your father, and you want to kill you michel platini." Yang Kang didn't listen and was hacked to death by Guo Jing.

Guo Jing said to Yang Guo, "I killed your father just for the sake of the country. I did the right thing. " Yang Guo listened to his words and retreated to the mountains.

They all killed their fathers, but the standards are different. This kind of thing is moral, but it goes against human nature!

Guo Jing, Huang Rong and Qiu Chuji all stood on their own positions and used their outlook on life and values to measure Yang Kang. They didn't give Yang Kang any choice at all: either kill Hong Yan Lie who raised you 18 years, or you can die yourself.

When I read the novel, I decided that Yang Kang was a scum of the Jianghu, and everyone applauded when he died. However, have we ever thought that the most important eighteen years in Yang Kang's life, also the eighteen years in which his mind was shaped, were spent in Daikin Wang Fu. Although he was from the Song Dynasty, he was a gold man at heart. Everyone was wary of him, made various speculations about him, and forced him to kill Hong Yan Honglie, who kindly raised himself. Isn't that a little cruel?

There is no distinction between good and evil in the war years, whether it is Jin people or Song people, just like fighting on the battlefield. Zhuge Liang's fighting is called resourceful and Cao Cao's fighting is called sinister, which is unreasonable.

As far as Yang Kang is concerned, Song people treated him unkindly, Jin people treated him well, Song people treated him badly, and Jin people treated him like relatives. Why can't he make his own choices?

06

Qiao Feng made his choice. In Juxian village, he tugged and said, "Don't get me wrong, I just want to kill you or be killed by you!" " As a result, everyone swarmed into an empirical value;

Yang Kang also made his own choice. It's a pity that he has his own villain aura. He is facing the most stupid and intelligent couple in the Jianghu, and his martial arts is not as good as Xiao Feng's, so he can only be the experience of this couple.

I made the same choice myself, but the result was very different. I only blame Mr. Jin Yong for the difference of 1 1 year when describing the two characters, and his mentality and thoughts are already very different. I can't help feeling that if I were in another place, Yang Kang might become a figure like Qiao Feng.

Alas! Yang Kang, Mr. Jin Yong owes you a statement.

-Eventually-
