Although the answer is a fan of Gu Long, I have to admit that Jin Yong should be a person who carries forward martial arts novels with many works and is widely read. It was he who made us find another world in the impetuous society, a world of joy, kindness and hatred.
I think the reason why Jin Yong's position in China is so high is that it has given us another world.
Jin Yong wrote a total of 15 works with a circulation of over 300 million. On average, each novel sells more than 20 million copies. Coupled with the prevalence of e-books, we can see that Jin Yong's novels are very popular. People all over China have seen this master's works to some extent. When the answer was very small, I followed my parents to watch Jin Yong's TV series The Legend of the Condor Heroes. At that time, before we had a computer, my parents rented this film from the video store in town. And I won't let go, I can only pretend to sleep secretly every night and wake up to watch. In this way, I read this work intermittently and remembered such a great writer. I think I'm just an example of thousands of families in Qian Qian. How many middle-aged people, young people and even children are immersed in such a martial arts world.
Many children have internet addiction now. At that time, we were addicted to martial arts. And Jin Yong is the man who created this world.
There is one more important point. The answer here mainly compares Jin Yong and Gu Long, which shows why Mr. Jin Yong has such a high position in China. (The answer is actually a fan of Gu Long)
Mr. Jin Yong's works are more orthodox and more in line with the values of mainstream society. Guo Daxia, written by Mr. Jin Yong, is a good example. In that sentence, great men serve the country and the people. Is to let everyone realize such a brand-new concept of martial arts. In addition to those romantic feelings, martial arts also have the pride of home and country.
On the contrary, in Gu Long's novels, the characters created by Gu Long are prodigals, who are not bound by the secular world, ignore the secular troubles and only pursue their own inner needs. I think it is in the world of Gu Long and martial arts that the image of a ranger can be carried forward. This mood may not be accepted by too many values.
One is a chivalrous man at home and abroad, the other is a machete prodigal son, which also doomed them, one is the mainstream, and the other is a narrow road.
Today, a generation of martial arts master, Mr. Jin Yong, has passed away, but the fifteen works he left behind will never disappear, and neither will Guo Daxia and Yang Guo in my mind.
Thank you, hero Jin Yong.
