However, there are many criticisms about characters, and there are also many unreasonable places about logic. Here, I will tell you a story about Huang Wenfa (Kou Jiarui). As far as he is concerned, he stayed in Nanyang, accepted the advanced thought of saving the country, did not leave a long braid, and his family was well-off. The rich young master he created has no resentment at all and shares joys and sorrows with other disciples. And acting skills are also remarkable, whether it is physical movements, martial arts moves, language expression and so on. Until they sacrificed their lives for the revolution, they alerted the world and made the audience feel sorry and reluctant to go.
But jumping out of Huang Wenfa's own role, I think there are two points in the plot that don't make sense. You should remember that when Huo Yuanjia and his family returned to Tianjin, they were framed by Xue Wentao, the magistrate of Dongguang. Huo Yuanjia and Xiao Wu went to deliver an official dart-a painting, and were ambushed by an eagle. As a result, Xiao Wu died, but Huo Yuanjia fell into Bertrand's hands in the concession. Although his wife Wang Yunying (Nikita) went to Beijing to avenge him, and the court promised to negotiate and release him, Afa still raised 40 gold bars from his hometown and rescued Huo Yuanjia from Bertrand.
Here, no matter how quickly Huang Wenfa's Nanyang family sold their assets several times to raise gold bars, and the time it took for the draft to go from Nanyang to Tianjin, we can see that Huang Wenfa's family is really rich and Huang Wenfa is responsive. It is admirable that Master can come up with such a heavy asset to save in times of crisis. When he heard that so many gold bars were needed, Huo Yuanjia was both shocked and moved, lamenting that selling Huojia ancestral home could not raise so much.
Then the problem is coming. Before returning to Tianjin, the Huo family and their disciples starved in a secret canyon in Dongguang. Why don't they help? Even a gold bar is enough to solve most problems. Although Afa also sold his pocket watch, it was only nine Niu Yi hairs. How hungry are you? The whole family drank wild vegetable soup for a month, and Huo Yuanjia sometimes lived frugally in the valley. In the most difficult time, Huo Yuanjia asked Liu Zhensheng () to sell his, and even gave Gao Qi, Huang Wenfa and Xu the first, second and third volumes of the Secret Zongquan, the treasure of her family, with only one purpose, and asked the three disciples to find their own way out. Because they had no food, the three disciples had no choice but to leave with tears.
I think these two bridges are really meaningless. Huang Wenfa, who can take out 40 gold bars quickly, why didn't he lend a helping hand when his family starved to death or even was expelled from school for lack of food? Huo Yuanjia also said that there was really no way to make this decision, which showed that the vitality at that time was on the verge of collapse. Welcome friends to express your views!
