Zhou Zhiruo of Jin Yong's novel character criticism
Looking at the first edition of "Eternal Dragon Slayer", I liked Zhou Zhiruo very much at the beginning. She was born in a noble family and had a bloody feud. She was beautiful and gentle, kind-hearted and gentle. She fed Zhang Wuji, who was seriously injured, for dinner in the Hanshui boat, and was as kind as her eldest sister, which made people feel that there was a predestination between the two little people.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Wuji fell in love with Zhao Min, who was full of ambition, while Zhou Zhiruo actually changed into a mean traitor, which was very unpleasant, especially unacceptable to the change of Zhou Zhiruo. He always felt that it was actually Jin Yong's change of heart in the middle. In order to make Zhang Yuanji's love change acceptable to readers, he did not hesitate to teach two women to switch sides.
In the new edition, Jin Yong seems to have made many revisions, which enabled the whole book to be carried out from beginning to end. On the one hand, it weakened the origin between Zhou Zhiruo and Zhang Wujie, including rewriting her identity as a poor boatman and adding a lot of foreshadowing, which made the process of her transformation more traceable. On the other hand, it strengthened Zhao Min's loveliness and her suffering for Zhang Wuji, which made her more sympathetic to readers and made people feel that the combination of her and Zhang Wuji was a proper ending.
Many details of the first edition have been forgotten, but the new version seems to emphasize that Zhou Zhiruo was originally a good woman, who was forced to do evil under the orders of Master's extermination teacher, and finally became a sinful villain; Her evil deeds are involuntary, so she deserves sympathy, at least pity.
I find this statement hard to accept. First of all, Zhou Zhiruo's personality does not seem to be infinitely weak and obedient. The exterminator chose to pass on the iron ring of her head, because she was strong and witty, and put everything she did on the oath of poison and teacher's life, not only overemphasizing her weakness, but also having an opinion with her. There are strategic personality contradictions, and one person does everything, and it is not a "non-voluntary" to get rid of it.
However, whether it is reasonable or not, Zhou Zhiruo, who gradually became evil and malicious, wrote very prominently. Zhao Min suddenly appeared in the wedding, and Zhang Wuji went with her in desperation. Zhou Zhiruo flew away with a broken pearl crown and a torn scarlet suit, just like the demon in "Painted Skin" appeared and competed for Xie Xun. She cast a whip and nine yin bones and claws, and the ghostly smell was reminiscent of Mei Chaofeng. Zhou Zhiruo is a woman in extreme mental distress.

Li Mochou of Jin Yong's novel character criticism
Li Mochou, the "Fairy of Crimson Lotus", is most memorable for her theme song: Ask the world what love is, and teach life and death to promise each other. How many times have the old wings been cold and hot? Happy fun, bitter parting, there are more children in the world, you should have words, thousands of miles of clouds, Qian Shan sunset snow, only to whom? Through Li Mochou, "The Condor Heroes" made Yuan Haowen's "Maipi Pond" spread all over the people today, which may have been unexpected even by Jin Yong himself at first. Maybe his original intention was just to create a beautiful and poisonous devil, and set off her bloody martial arts with soft and sad words, making her even more terrible. The spread of this word is a windfall.
Ask the world what love is; Ask Li Mochou, she may not answer, so she often sings this word, because she thinks she has been served by "love" all her life. The man she loved married someone else, and she was both sad and angry, vowing to take revenge and kill the whole family of the man who took her love in vain. "Love" is Li Mochou. Simply put, it is possession.
"The Condor Heroes" is a work about "love", and Li Mochou, who was the first to appear lightly, is the point. But Jin Yong obviously doesn't agree that love is possession. His basic spirit is self-sacrifice, and he is willing to give up his life to fulfill the other party, rather than taking the other party's life to satisfy himself.
Li Mochou, this misunderstanding is really not beautiful. She killed the whole family, her hands were stained with blood, and she didn't see her ferocity. She was only fascinated by her own lovesickness. In the end, she was finally destroyed by "love". She was in love with poison, born to die, so she threw herself into the burning flowers and caught fire, but she stood still until she died: Ask the world what love is. Although it is difficult for readers to sympathize with Li Mochou's actions, they can't help but be moved by this sad scene.
"Crimson Lotus Fairy" is actually the most heartless, just look at how she treats her loyal disciple Hong Lingbo in cold blood. However, Jin Yong wrote a paragraph about Li Mochou's capture of Guo Xiang as an infant, with the intention of threatening Huang Rong, but she was inspired by the baby's motherhood, and instead, she fondled her to sleep with infinite tenderness, and drove mosquitoes away for her with the dust that was usually used as a murder weapon. Probably what Jin Yong wants to say is that people are not born cruel, and they destroy themselves for love, which can also be said to be the tragedy of Li Mochou.

Wang Yuyan of Jin Yong's novel character criticism
The second woman I hate about Jin Yong is Wang Yuyan from Dragon Ba Bu. This young lady was nicknamed "Wang Yuyan" in the old edition, and there are a lot of theoretical notes, which means that the name doesn't need to be obsessed with the dead end, such as "Yu Yan". At first glance, it sounds very vulgar, but after careful consideration, it has a beautiful shape and is very suitable for this fairy girl. Later, I don't know if it didn't achieve the intended effect of "turning vulgarity into purity", but the new edition was changed to "Wang Yuyan", with a new note from Duan Yu: "Wonderful! Wonderful! Smiling and amiable. " In fact, neither name is worse than the other.
This jade-swallow-like young lady in front of Wang Xietang has many names, not to mention the others. She likes to express her opinions at length, and has the legacy of Miss Xue Baochai. If she is pedantic, she can compete with Duan Gongzi. In fact, they are a match made in heaven. The difference is that Duan Gongzi is generally out of kindness, while Miss Wang is full of knowledge, and she doesn't spit quickly, so she has no class. In short, anyone's martial arts needs to be commented and pointed out. This rap is naturally annoying.
Miss Wang yearns for her cousin, just as Duan Yu is infatuated with her, and her indifference to Duan Yu is like Mu Rongfu's indifference to her. However, Duan Yu has a kind heart and no shelf, and her admiration has won public sympathy. In addition to her infatuation with her cousin, Miss Wang is completely indifferent to other people's life and death. Therefore, her indifference to Duan Yu has caused public outrage, and her indifference to Mu Rongfu has made people happy.
Of course, hating Wang Yuyan has something to do with liking Duan Yu, but it's not all about Duan Yu. She is so twisted and pretentious that she always acts like a big miss, but she has neither grace nor principle. It is not natural for cool thin to use Duan Yu's feelings for her to let him die for her sweetheart. A woman, even if her heart belongs to someone else, can't accept another man's heart, so she has to thank him and respect his feelings. How can she behave like Wang Yuyan without being offensive? Actually, think about it. Jin Yong also played a joke on this noble lady. At one time, she appeared like a peony smoke cage, and in an instant, she was trapped in a thatched cottage without a crown. For a while, let her make a clear dew in the moonlight, and suddenly let her fall into the mud smelly well. Her infatuation is more than pity, and she is a comedy role than a serious role, so although she hates it, she is not the top one, but only the second one.

Chen Yuanyuan of Jin Yong's novel character criticism
There are many beautiful women in Jin Yong's novels, but what is "beauty"? Is it just as the western proverb says, "Beauty comes from the eyes of the beholder"? Or as the saying goes, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"? Among the daughters of Jin Yong's novels, if you ask who is the most beautiful, the answer will be "Chen Yuanyuan", because Jin Yong wrote Chen Yuanyuan from the perspective of "the first beauty in the world". If you look at how he wrote the beauty of Chen Yuanyuan, you will know what "beauty" is in Jin Yong's mind.
Jin Yong wrote Chen Yuanyuan in two novels, only a short passage in sword stained with royal blood, and a long scene in The Duke Of Mount Deer. Both of them deliberately avoided describing her face in detail, and both of them deliberately described others' reaction to seeing Chen Yuanyuan. In "sword stained with royal blood", the generals and soldiers in the temple were fascinated by her. At first, they were dumbfounded, as if they were fascinated by her, and then they were crazy. They hugged her thighs and cried out to tear their clothes, rushing to see her again. In a word, they were so ugly that they couldn't help themselves. Even Yuan Chengzhi, a gentleman with great concentration, saw her and "couldn't help but move." The description in The Duke Of Mount Deer is more vivid. When Wei Xiaobao saw Chen Yuanyuan, "the mouth opened wide and he couldn't get it together. The time was dumbfounded and he was at a loss." Chen Yuanyuan smiled and asked him to sit down. He was "at a loss, his knees went soft, and he fell into the chair. The tea in his hand spilled, and his skirt was wet."
Jin Yong's meaning is obvious. Even if beauty is subjective, it is in line with the subjective of the public, not the subjective view of only one person or "lover". Beauty is a very primitive thing, and it is only an instant from seeing a physiological reaction.
But Jin Yong said more than that. He didn't describe Chen Yuanyuan's face, but he did describe her voice and expression. In "The Sword of Green Blood", Chen Yuanyuan's "warbler chirps" and "eye movement, everyone's eye contact with her, like being immersed in warm water, is indescribable and comfortable." Chen Yuanyuan in The Duke Of Mount Deer "smiled and cried", talking about his life experience, he couldn't help crying.
Wei Xiaobao didn't know what she said. "But when I saw her smile, she was divine, and when she was sad, she was lovely. I felt full of pity. I only felt that even if she was destroyed, it would be sweet ..."
In short, charm comes from expression. When writing Princess Xiangxiang, I still need to say that she is white and has a special fragrance. When I go to Chen Yuanyuan, I don't need any specific adjectives.

Miao Ruolan of Jin Yong's novel character criticism
The story of Flying Fox in Snow Mountain is very beautiful, with compact layout and bizarre twists and turns. It is all told in flashback from several populations, and each version is not the same, either incomplete or selfish, which reminds people of the Japanese movie Rashomon.
However, Flying Fox of Snowy Mountain's characters are mostly unlovable, with only a few exceptions, and Miao Ruolan is one of them. The daughter of Miao Renfeng, the golden Buddha, is a beautiful woman, darling daughter and, of course, beautiful. She doesn't know martial arts, but she is soft but not weak, which is very imposing. Jin Yong wrote her with a slightly humorous exaggeration, which made people feel that she was a bit ridiculous when they liked her.
First, people came up before they showed up, and the maid and the old lady watched a lot of playthings with clothes and sundries in the boxes, explaining that the young lady wanted this and didn't want that. It was so angry and funny at the top of the snow-capped mountain where the group gathered and the sword was drawn. As soon as Miss Miao made a move, she gave away a pair of precious jade and horses. No matter how tense the atmosphere was, she still went her own way according to a set of specifications of her eldest daughter. In the hall, she visited her aunt, changed clothes and drank tea, and the maid sent her a small hand stove with brocade covers and lit incense. She also had to be picky about whether it was jasmine or sandalwood, placed beside her or under the window. No wonder everyone was surprised that Miao Renfeng's generation of heroes pampered her daughter like this.
If Miao Ruolan is just a pampered young lady, she can't afford to be the daughter of the Golden Buddha. Her most prominent temperament is calm, calm, delicate and weak, and she is not afraid of the strong enemy. "Flying foxes on snowy mountains" appeared, and the group of "Hao" ran and hid, but Miss Miao was leisurely entertaining guests, playing the piano and helping wine, which was elegant and extraordinary, fully revealing her upbringing. Pei Hu probably devoted himself to literary accomplishment after The Legend of the Flying Fox, and Miss Miao answered his piano music. Feelings are dark, and the scene is moving. The ending was almost nonsense. Such a distinguished young lady actually made people order acupuncture points, take off their coats, and curl up in their underwear. Later, she went to the cliff in such a disheveled way to watch her lover compete with her father, as if wearing only a man's gown. It was really unsightly.
Flying Fox of Snowy Mountain ended in suspense. It is said that over the years, many people have asked Jin Yong who won or lost in Pei Hu and Miao Renfeng. I don't care. What worries me is, when will Miss Miao find a correct dress and put it on?

Li Yuanzhi of Jin Yong's novel character criticism
Huo Qingtong, Lin Chaoying and other strong women are not satisfied emotionally, but not all women can't help their men who insist on refusing to accept them. Li Yuanzhi has a good way.
Li Yuanzhi is darling daughter, her father is a big official, and she is an only daughter. She is smart, beautiful and considerate. Of course, she has to get wind and rain, and others have to let her go if she is not afraid of her. Otherwise, she would be very obedient and happy to see someone like her make a request. Otherwise, she knows how to please people, and she pesters her for something, but she can't do it if she doesn't promise it. For example, Lu Feiqing, who was originally anonymous, taught the museum to avoid enemies, and was forced by Li Yuanzhi to teach him martial arts, and finally accepted her as a disciple.
Of course, a woman like Li Yuanzhi, if you let her get what she wants, she must be very kind to you, which makes you feel very worthwhile. Only when you can't make her happy, will she let you see her cold and noble face. Li Yuanzhi took a fancy to Yu Yutong, but Yu Yutong's heart belonged to him, and he was also a proud young master, so he didn't buy Miss Li, so she "followed you regardless of Wan Li's hardships." When you ask him, he just goes to be his "sad person" and just turns a deaf ear. However, Li Yuanzhi is used to having whatever he wants, but will he stop and quietly step down? She went to call for help.
The rescuer is Afandi, a strange Uighur. Li Yuanzhi saw that he was resourceful and resourceful, and when he had a brainwave, he won the match with him by scheming and forced him to point out how to make Yu Yutong take a coup attitude towards himself. This work proved that under the "carrot and stick" coup. Sure enough, the golden flute scholar gradually tends to worship the auditorium. Of course, this is not the work of Afandi alone, but also needs Li Yuanzhi's exquisite mind, so that it can be immediately understood and effectively put into practice.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that Li Yuanzhi is a bad person. She is actually very lively and lovely, and she must have a lot of fun to get along with. Her strange thoughts and behaviors will inevitably bring a lot of joy. She is very affectionate to people, so Huo Qingtong also likes her very much, and she is very fond of others' affairs. Knowing that her friends are in danger, she hurried to inform and wait, etc., but the god of luck is too fond of her big lady as soon as possible.

Zhu Jiuzhen of Jin Yong's novel character criticism
When Yin Susu died, she told Zhang Wuji that the more beautiful a woman is, the more deceptive she will be, and told him to be careful. In fact, Yin Susu is not a big liar, but it is also true that there are many beautiful and treacherous women in "Eternal Dragon Slayer". Zhao Min, Zhou Zhiruo, and even Xiao Zhao have repeatedly lied, but the most beautiful woman who cheated Zhang Wuji was Zhu Jiuzhen.
Jin Yong's story about Zhu Jiuzhen playing with Zhang Wuji is actually a very old-fashioned story. Many Cantonese "residual" films are similar to the scene. The woman is either the lady of a big merchant or the daughter of a big warlord. In short, she is rich, powerful, beautiful and domineering, but the poor son secretly loves the lady who is as expensive as a princess and regards her as a heaven and man. No matter how she insults him, he silently endures it, which makes the audience greatly unworthy of the ruthlessness of a rich lady.
It's just that Zhu Jiuzhen, written by Jin Yong, is a hundred times more beautiful and ruthless than the rich lady in the ordinary story; She loves to raise giant dogs and trains them to bite people. She is instructed by her father to pretend to be nice to Zhang Wuji and use his infatuation with her to trick him into revealing the whereabouts of Xie Xun and Tu dragon sword. But at the same time, she thinks it is a great shame to be affectionate with this poor boy and is bent on killing him to vent her anger after the job is done. This kind of darling daughter is more than heartless and heartless.
Like other similar stories, Zhu Jiuzhen, darling daughter, also fell in love with the handsome cousin. She competed with Wu Qingying for her cousin, but failed to use Zhang Wuji, and even beat him up. This totally new bridge made Zhu Jiuzhen even more conventional. The only special place is that Zhu Jiuzhen and Wu Qingying are both "famous queens", Zhu Jiuzhen is a descendant of Yi Deng's master disciple Zhu Ziliu, and Wu Qingying is a descendant of another disciple Wu Santong. However, Zhu Jiuzhen and Wu Qingying are rich and arrogant, and Zhu Changling are mean and greedy. Originally, according to the development needs of the story of "Eternal Dragon Slayer", it doesn't matter who these people are. Jin Yong specially arranged them to enhance readers' interest. Zhang Wuji's trick failed. Zhu Changling was trapped in the platform protruding from the cliff for several years, but Jin Yong no longer talked about Zhu Jiuzhen's situation, but later indirectly confessed that she was killed by Yin Li, because Yin Li was angry that she had framed Zhang Yuanji. It seems that she has never been able to marry her cousin.

Guo Fu of Jin Yong's novel character criticism
Guo Fu is a reckless and unswerving girl, but her character is much worse than Zhou Qi's. Zhou Qi didn't get into any big trouble, but her words were not polite enough, and her behavior was always well-intentioned. But Guo Fu was proud and arrogant, relying on her parents' prestige to teach people everywhere, and as a result, she repeatedly got into trouble, cut off Yang Guo's arm, and shot the little dragon girl seriously with a poisonous needle, which made her husband and wife suffer. After 16 years of separation, the readers who worshipped the couple naturally
At first glance, Jin Yong's writing about Guo Jing Huang Rong's daughter seems to be intentionally disappointing, but on reflection, it is actually both bold and reasonable. Guo Fusheng inherited Guo Jing's chaotic brain on the basis of Huang Rong's beautiful appearance, and although Guo Jing was stupid, he had many personality advantages. His mother and teachers taught him to be an honest, upright, persevering and chivalrous person, but Guo Fu didn't have the luck. Unfortunately, she was born in an affluent environment and was noble since childhood.
In the eyes of ordinary people, after Zhongliang, it must be Zhongliang and genius, and it must be unique. Actually, otherwise, with Huang Rong's willfulness to cover one's faults, it is natural that he will not control his baby daughter well, while Guo Jing advocates strict control, but he is blindly strict and has no method, one tight and one loose, and this lovely and respectable couple has a daughter who has no discipline. Guo Fu described by Jin Yong is reasonable.
But Guo Fu also has her tragic meaning. First of all, the formation of her personality is not entirely her fault; Secondly, although it is her fault to rush into trouble rashly, the disaster she ran into is huge and far out of proportion, which can also be said to be her misfortune. If she was holding a lady's sword with a sharp iron, or if Yang Guo was not poisoned, the consequences of her sword would not be so serious. If the little dragon girl hadn't been poisoned, hiding in the sarcophagus to heal to a critical juncture, Guo Fu's flying needles with loose hair wouldn't have poisoned her. Jin Yong let Guo Fu make two disasters in a row and hurt Yang Guo's little dragon girl respectively, which must be meaningful.
Guo Fu and Yang Guo have been together since childhood, and Guo Fu is beautiful and unrequited, and Yang Guo is a handsome elf and an affectionate reader. At first, they thought that they would be a pair of childhood friends, or like Guo Jing, they hoped that the regrets of the previous generation would be made up for in the next generation. However, when they met, they became enemies, and the marriage finally became hopeless. Jin Yong wrote Guo Fu so recklessly, probably to make the story have this special ending, right?

Princess Changping, the character critic of Jin Yong's novels
Princess Changping appeared in sword stained with royal blood, and then appeared in The Duke Of Mount Deer.
In "sword stained with royal blood", the star's long sight gives people the strongest impression that he is extremely beautiful in appearance and noble in temperament. Supposedly, the heroine of the story must be the most beautiful woman in the book, but the most beautiful woman in sword stained with royal blood is not Wen Qingqing, but Changping, whose alias is A Jiu and Cheng Qingzhu, the leader of the master's green bamboo gang. Even Yuan Chengzhi, the hero, thinks so, although he dare not say it. At that time, Changping dressed up as a country girl, which could not hide Gao Hua's bearing. When he met Yuan Chengzhi for the second time, he was hunting outside the capital. At that time, his earlobe was pearl, his lapel was inlaid with precious stones, and he was bossing around with a bunch of followers, which was even more magnificent.
Only way Yuan Chengzhi will have a crush on the princess, but the princess has a crush on Yuan Chengzhi, and she draws his portrait in the bedroom in the middle of the night and puts it in front of the bed. Yuan Chengzhi's nocturnal visit to the palace was found, and she broke into the princess's bedroom by mistake, so she saw through the identity of "A Jiu" and learned her girlish feelings. Later, when the city was broken, Chongji wanted to kill Changping with a sword, and after cutting off her arm, she was rescued by Yuan Chengzhi. Finally, she cut her hair and was escorted to Huashan by He Tieshou. Jin Yong wrote that she was "picturesque and gaunt", wrapped in a white fox fur and wearing a white fox fur hat on her head. Although it was inconsistent with her status as a monk, it effectively maintained her luxurious image. Although superficial, it was very effective.
Changping was thirteen or fourteen years old in sword stained with royal blood (more than that? -Oriental Sword), in The Duke Of Mount Deer, the role of Jiu Nan in white is now more than 30 years old, and she is beautiful and noble, but this noble is more subtle. She is spotless in white and lonely, and doesn't talk much, but she has her own majesty. Even Wei Xiaobao dare not expect anything in front of her.
Jin Yong wrote more indirectly than directly, showing her style through others' reactions to her. For example, Wei Xiaobao accompanied her to visit the Palace Palace at night and reunited with the old maid-in-waiting Tao Hongying. Aunt Tao's excitement, respect and loyalty fully set off Jiu Nan's identity.
The more she says "I am not a princess", the more people feel that she has always been a princess. The most vivid thing is that Wei Xiaobao tried her best to serve her for dinner along the way. Although she never said that the food was good or bad, she would eat more chopsticks when the food was good, but not less.
When Changping first appeared, it was "beauty" that showed nobility. When it reappeared, it was already ruined, and it was "sorrow" that showed nobility. Jin Yong is good at using history to write characters. The first edition of "sword stained with royal blood" has not yet seen the skill. By the second edition, the historical flavor is almost too strong.

Sophia of Jin Yong's novel character criticism
Among Wei Xiaobao's "sweethearts", there is even a foreign beauty Princess Sophia. This "Her Royal Highness princess royal, the Regent Queen of Eros" is a real person in history. Let Jin Yong write like this. She died knowing, but she didn't know how to get angry.
The western beauty Jin Yong, the "foreign genius", wrote in sword stained with royal blood as early as, but only a few strokes, not as vivid as this Sophia. The foreign beauties written by the foreign genius are quite in line with China people's imagination, and the foreign women are naturally coquettish, and the princess is no exception. China men, that is, China children, are also readily available as sweethearts. Foreign women are covered in hair, of course, they can't be compared with the delicate and smooth women in our country, and they are stupid. They only know how to lose their temper and throw things. When it comes to intelligence, Sophia can't be compared with Su Quan, the wife of Hong's leader, even Wei Xiaobao, who is illiterate, and is always qualified to criticize her for her lack of learning. However, Jin Yong's writing of Sophia is purely a game article, and the irony of belittling foreign women is mostly unintentional, but it is the Chinese who deliberately satirize. Wei Xiaozhu's story-telling by listening to operas is enough to show princess royal, Gulun, the country of Eros, how to make chaos and seize power by taking advantage of chaos. Sophia listened to his words and succeeded in one fell swoop. Afterwards, she asked him, "How do you know that you can kill Shariza and Peter by asking soldiers to kill and rob women?" Wei Xiaobao smiled and said, "China people have always been like this." These seven words hurt every word, and Jin Yong explained: "China has been in the country for thousands of years, fighting for the throne of the emperor, rebelling and killing, and it has been proved to be unparalleled in the world. What Wei Xiaozhu knows is only some superficial things circulated by the people, but it is enough to show off the foreign land and actually seek to usurp the throne, bring peace and stability to the country. " By contrast, it is not a blame to mock Sophia for her lewdness and shame.
The scene of Sophia's appearance was full of meaning and lack of historical realism. Later, Jin Yong avoided playing the important role, and no longer let the Regent Queen of Wei Xiaobao meet. He only allowed communication, and Xu Wei Xiaobao asked for a little cheaper at last, and sent his own naked stone statue to talk about comforting the suffering of foreign women's acacia.
Sophia really exists, but how many people will check her true story? Naturally, The Duke Of Mount Deer's version is circulated in the Chinese world. The authority of Jin Yong's novelists cannot be ignored, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Wei Chunfang, Comment on Characters in Jin Yong's Novels
Wei Chunfang is a retired prostitute in a third-rate brothel, with mediocre appearance and limited skills. And many years old, even if you work hard, you won't be fascinated by a few benefactors. Brothels are snobbish places, with luxurious rooms for customers and shabby private rooms for prostitutes who have passed away. However, Wei Chunfang doesn't feel that she is down and out at all, but she seems to be very comfortable herself. Wei Chunfang makes readers feel comfortable, because she is not a poor person who wins others' sympathy. She doesn't feel inferior at all, and she doesn't feel that life or society owes her anything. She is just trying to do a career that she knows how to do, and she gets some small interests and little fun from it.
However, when it comes to "hard work", Wei Chunfang doesn't work hard. Even her son says that she is lazy, but she doesn't demand much from herself. Knowing that she didn't work hard enough, she can muddle through those two songs. She is a little ashamed, but not ashamed enough to force herself to work hard. She muddles along with herself and doesn't ask much of others. She is comfortable and happy, and readers are comfortable and happy to see her, so there is no need to bear a lot of guilt inexplicably.
On the surface, being a prostitute is naturally not a very good career, but from another perspective, it's really good to have a mother like Wei Chunfang, just by looking at her relationship with Wei Xiaobao. She has a deep affection for her son, and is a responsible mother. She takes care of his needs in life, and is morally concerned not to let him do bad things. However, she didn't give him any trouble. She knew how to take care of herself, and he didn't have to worry about her. He left without saying goodbye and heard from Yuan Yuan. She missed her, but she didn't wash her face with tears all day long. Secondly, she didn't get to the bottom of it when she met again. She was just pleasantly surprised and hurried to bring him ham.
Wei Chunfang's life is not miserable, she is simply happy; Although prostitutes are not people in other people's eyes, being prostitutes in her eyes is nothing more than life. She lives a humble life, but she has humble ambitions. Not only does she not feel inferior, she simply feels that her morality is very strict: cheating on gambling is smart, and keeping ham in brothels is smart, but stealing money from clients is a bad thing that must never be done; Sleeping with Han Chinese is a profession, and sleeping with Huizi and Tibetans is acceptable. But with foreigners? Is she Wei Chunfang such a "rotten bitch"?

Ma Chunhua of Jin Yong's novel character criticism
Some women in Jin Yong's novels are unforgettable. The reason is not that they are extraordinary, but that they are so common that they have a cordial feeling, which makes people easily sympathize with their experiences. Ma Chunhua in The Legend of the Flying Fox is such a woman. Ma Chunhua was beautiful, but she was born in an ordinary family. She was the daughter of an experienced escort. Later, her father betrothed her to her brother Xu Zheng as his wife. After her father died, the couple took over the escort agency business and struggled to run it. This story is really ordinary in terms of martial arts novels.
In her life, only one extraordinary thing happened, but this extraordinary thing finally decided the fate of her and her family. She was a guest with her father in the merchant's castle, and the merchant's master Shang Baozhen fell in love with her beauty, which was nothing special. She did not forget the old because of the merchant's master's greed for the new. What is extraordinary is that Fu Kangan, the noble son of the capital, happened to see Ma Chunhua by accident. In order to be greedy for her beauty, he made a stop and, with a little arrangement, easily lured the girl as his leisure for an afternoon.
This event changed Ma Chunhua's life. This confused marriage destroyed her relationship with her brother; She was unmarried and pregnant. As soon as he knew that he was not the father of the child, it was not this confused marriage. Fu Kangan would not send someone to pick her up later. Not affectionate to her, Shang Baozhen will not kill Xu Zheng fiercely when he is sent; Not because of "where did this child come from", Xu Zheng wouldn't be so desperate in fighting, and eventually he was killed by Shang Baozhen, Shang Baozhen killed Xu Zheng, and Ma Chunhua killed Shang Baozhen to avenge his husband. Both men died for her in vain.
But Ma Chunhua killed Fu Kangan unjustly, and she was arrested and killed by the Prime Minister's wife. When she first arrived in the capital, she thought she would be extremely happy in the future, reunited with her lover and beloved son.
She even invited Hu Fei to thank her for her wealth and honor. Unexpectedly, a strange disaster was imminent. Ma Chunhua is weak. She didn't resist the temptation of Fu Kangan. Not loyal to Xu Zheng. She is ignorant, since she doesn't understand Fu Kangan's falsehood, and she doesn't understand the crisis in Xiangfu. But she is not a heartless snob. Just as she confessed to Pei Hu, she fell in love with Fu Kangan at first sight, which was an injustice in her previous life. She was obsessed with him until she died. This story is too ordinary, but it is only ordinary, so it is even more amazing.

Han Xiaoying of Jin Yong's novel character criticism
Readers of The Legend of the Condor Heroes probably don't pay much attention to Han Xiaoying, one of the seven eccentrics in the south of the Yangtze River, because no love festival in the book is centered on her, but the portraits of Han Xiaoying collected from various places show an amiable, lovely and respectable woman.
She is the youngest of the seven eccentrics in the south of the Yangtze River. She started her friendship with the other six eccentrics from childhood playmates until she was seventeen or eighteen. The seven eccentrics had an appointment with Qiu Chuji. I searched Guo Jing everywhere until I found the Mongolian desert. After I found it, I spent nearly ten years teaching him martial arts.
Eighteen years passed like this. Han Xiaoying changed from a slim girl with big eyes to a middle-aged woman, and finally ended up committing suicide in the tomb of Huang Rong's mother in Peach Blossom Island. She had never been in love in her life, nor had she been married and had children. Zhang Asheng, the five eccentrics, secretly loved her before her death, and Zhang Asheng died tragically. Before his death, Han Xiaoying cried to marry him, and as a result, he was single for him all his life. In fact, she is more like Guo Jing's mother than Ping Li. She teaches him martial arts and is bent on educating him to become a useful person. However, Guo Jing's qualifications are slow and blunt, and he teaches him swordsmanship. He can't learn it from learning. She thinks of her seven brothers who have worked hard for many years in the bitter and cold land of Mobei, and Zhang Asheng died in a foreign country. He only taught such a fool, which made him angry and sad. Later, Guo Jing got Ma Yu's advice and made great progress. She suspected that he did not know what bad people he had secretly made. Until she found out that it was Ma Yu, she was delighted and pitied Guo Jing for being blamed by the master. All these emotional reactions were typical reactions of a godson's eager loving mother, or more like a widowed godson's mood.
When Guo Jing arrived in Jiangnan, he met Huang Rong and refused to marry Princess Hua Zheng. The six monsters in Jiangnan questioned him who Huang Rong was, and found out that it was the daughter of East Evil Huang Yaoshi. Han Xiaoying was "at a loss" for a while, because the seven monsters had a blood feud with Black Wind, and Huang Rong was their school sister. But Guo Jing said that although he and Huang Rong didn't say that they must not marry each other, but "both of them know the truth", Han Xiaoying thought of himself and Zhang Asheng, and never dared to show affection to each other, so that he missed happiness and couldn't bear to blame Guo Jing.
Han Xiaoying worked hard all her life, but she couldn't get a few days of happiness in the end. She was too much like the mother of most people. Her mediocrity and indifference made people feel uncomfortable.
