As we all know, Mr. Jin Yong was born in a noble family and had excellent living conditions. From an early age, it was difficult for him to understand the plight of the bottom people, let alone the hardships of being forced to make a living in order to protect his stomach. Therefore, in Mr. Jin Yong's pen, those characters are almost all famous families, even if there are some defects, they can be ignored.
Take Guo Jing as an example. Although he was born on the grassland and his father was killed, his mother is a virtuous person and has never suffered from him since she was a child. Moreover, Jin Yong also found the seven eccentrics in the south of the Yangtze River as his first teacher and buried chivalry deeply in his bones. After coming out to wander the rivers and lakes, I learned a lot of top martial arts with the help of nobles, and later became the best in the world. In addition, Guo Jing's good brother Tuo Lei is a Mongolian prince, and his fiancee Hua Zheng is a prairie princess. His circle of friends is very luxurious.
Let's look at Mr. Gu Long again. When he was in high school, his parents divorced, so he had to worry about his livelihood when he was very young. Moreover, even the writing he loved was based on him at the beginning. So when we look at Mr. Gu Long's works, we will find that he talks more about fireworks than Jin Yong. Not only that, the protagonists in Gu Long's martial arts have also completed their self-redemption after experiencing great hardships.
In the novel "Big Man", the protagonist Yang Fan was born in a noble family, but he wandered around and liked to eat roadside stalls very much. He could mingle with ordinary people. So, to some extent, Yang Fan was born in the street. For him, don't talk about steamed bread. Grass can also be eaten in case of extreme hunger. Besides, there is a description about eating in Mr. Gu Long's novel: Braised pork costs 4 taels each, and Guo Dalu can just put a piece in his mouth. Such a description with fireworks and extremely close to life is hard to describe by Mr. Jin Yong. This is the real food!
Of course, Mr. Jin Yong's and Mr. Gu Long's descriptions have their own merits, not to say that anyone writes badly. Jin Yong's "drinking in a big bowl and eating meat in a big mouth" shows the heroic and unrestrained; Ancient gentlemen ate steamed buns and roadside stalls to make heroes look more real and have a little more intimacy. As for which style the audience prefers, it depends on everyone's preference. After all, "carrots and vegetables have their own tastes."
