When I accidentally saw the hot news, I was stunned. I thought it was fake until I searched Baidu on Baidu and found out it was real. My feelings are indescribable.
Jin Yong can be said to be my favorite author. The other is Gu Long. Only these two can make me love and admire them. When I was a teenager, I did not understand them. But when I started to like web novels, I read their books when there was a shortage of books, and I slowly understood them.
After that, I started to love them. From love, to admiration, to respect, and finally, to amazement. It is like an extinct work of art, unsurpassable, and still existing in this world. It is so beautiful!
Now, many people know about Jin Yong and Gu Long through television dramas. But only after reading their original works and tasting the flavor of their works, do you know how powerful and great they are. It is not just a Wuxia novel!
On the internet, many people analyze how good Jin Yong's books are, how clever the plots are, and how lively the characters are. But these are not the most important. Because only those who have written novels will know the greatness and importance of Jin Yong and Gu Long. Without them, it is hard to imagine what television dramas people in the 90s will watch. Without them, those famous Hong Kong superstars will not be able to debut.
Without their books, today's web novels will be greatly reduced. This influence is unparalleled. It is not just because they are ancient and unparalleled, but because they are classics and unparalleled!
In the past, there were only a handful of such monumental authors. For them to appear in the future, it will be extremely difficult!
Many people might not understand and feel that it is exaggerated. But with a few examples, everyone will understand.
After Gu Long passed away, Jin Yong closed himself off, and from then on, Wuxia declined. To put it simply, Jin Yong and Gu Long stopped writing novels, and the popular Wuxia genre disappeared. After reading their books, people will not be able to continue reading Wuxia novels.
This is like when Xuanhuan was popular, some god wrote all the cool points of Xuanhuan to the extreme, and then he stopped writing. From then on, Xuanhuan declined. No matter who wrote Xuanhuan, no one can continue reading it. Even if there is a little improvement, it is still insignificant … … Obviously, this phenomenon is very difficult.
Jin Yong's and Gu Long's books were all over the Chinese world. Although there was less entertainment in that era, it was not as little as people thought. Moreover, it was more difficult to disseminate things, but it was still popular among the people. Among the online novels of today, which one could reach such a level?
He remembered that he had once written a novel about transmigrating to Jin Yong's novel. The novel did pretty well, but it was banned.
And so, the readers kept cursing and criticizing Jin Yong, their mouths full of disdain … All I want to say is, whether it's the writing style, the plot, or the results, let alone a million votes, even if you had ten times that number, it still wouldn't be comparable. In fact, it would be an insult to even compare.
However, diehard fans would always be blinded by a single leaf.
Sigh.
Think about the past.
It was also because he was young and frivolous. Coupled with his natural arrogance and stubbornness, he couldn't do well in many places. He didn't like to suck up to others, and he couldn't even bring himself to call him Brother Zhang, Brother Li, or Boss.
He also rarely admired others. He never chased after stars and pursued perfectionism. If someone or something had a flaw, he would feel that it was not worthy of special appreciation. And most people, in my opinion, have their own shining points and flaws. So, I only thought highly of them or liked them. It's hard to imagine the fanaticism of a diehard fan. What kind of thoughts would they have if they were obsessed with someone or something and turned their three views upside down?
Now, as he grew older, his temper slowly became more restrained. Thinking back to when he was young and saw the resumes of Jin Yong and Gu Long, and when he understood their achievements, he even thought about doing better than them in the future. He thought that if he were to write an online novel and write it to the point of winning a Nobel Prize, not only would it have to be vulgar, but it would also have to reach the depths of the soul. Of course, that was a very naive and ignorant fantasy.
It wasn't until later that he understood more and more that he realized how extreme the achievements of the two masters were. Like Tai Chi, one complex and one simple, they completely occupied the space of wuxia. So, when they stopped writing, there was no more decent wuxia. That era seemed to have been sealed, and could only be turned into nostalgia. Listening to ancient Cantonese songs, in the quiet of the night, his thoughts surged, and he was moved by the taste.
Ever since I was young, the only people that I sincerely admire are the two Grandmasters.
When I was young, I wanted to surpass them. Only when I grew up did I realize that some people can never be surpassed. Because what some people do is like a foundation. No matter how tall a building you build, it all stems from the firmness of this foundation!
Maybe when you were born in the same era, you would be crushed in seconds.
It was also this realization that made me learn to respect people who are worthy of respect. In this world, there are many people who are worthy of respect and have made great contributions. There are also many who are anti-social and like to get into a dead end. Every time I see them, I think of my past self. I was young and frivolous, always thinking that I was more awesome than anyone else, or that I would definitely be awesome in the future, because I had set a very awesome goal.
But let's not talk about whether or not the awesome goal can be achieved. Even if it is achieved, it does not mean that others are not worthy of your respect.
From the time you learn to respect others, maybe it is when you grow up. In the past, teachers often talked about the so-called arrogance and lofty character, but you never really understood it. It was only when you personally experienced it that you truly understood it.
So here, I also want to tell those young readers to try to learn to respect those who do things that you can't. Respect doesn't mean that you are inferior to others, but it shows that you are sensible and mature.
And when you do things that other youths can't do when you are young, it means that you have surpassed them!
Unknowingly, I wrote a lot of words. Suddenly, I thought of the ancient dragon's words when he passed away. Chu Liuxiang was nowhere to be seen in the world, and Little Li's Flying Dagger was the best.
And Master Jin Yong's departure was also the best. The two most beloved masters in the world had left just like that. Sigh, what a pity. It felt like two very good teachers had left.
