When I was studying, there were always a few classmates who loved Jin Yong's novels. Everyone was always comparing their familiarity with Jin Yong's works and when they would finish reading the whole set of Jin Yong. I remember the year when I came into contact with Jin Yong's works, the TV station was broadcasting Ma Jingtao's version of "Eternal Dragon Slayer". My aunt gave me a set of Jin Yong's "pocket size" (that is, a set of eight volumes) books, and I began to read Jin Yong's works. It's really "dangerous" to read Jin Yong's works, because it's really addicting. I remember that in the preparatory period, I would use "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" as a reading report for the Chinese language and culture. I was reading in the car that day, and I felt that there were suddenly a lot fewer people in the car. When I looked up, I was shocked to find that I had arrived at the station, and immediately rushed out of the car.

In addition to reading Jin Yong's novels, of course there are other such as:

  • Read the books that study Jin Yong's works, Wu Aiyi (you read that right, I wrote it right, Margaret Ng Wu Aiyi's barrister Margaret Ng Wu Aiyi)'s review of Jin Yong's novels: "XXX of Jin Yong's Novels", and other review books .
  • Playing "The Legend of Jin Yong Heroes": You have to clear the level, improve the "Wild Ball Boxing" skills for the protagonist, and maintain his moral level.
  • I watched TV shows, but then I lost interest. To be honest, even if the CG technology is getting stronger and stronger, it will not be able to shoot half of Jin Yong's novels, not to mention that every casting is criticized. However, it was discovered that Jin Yong's TV series in Hong Kong has also influenced a generation in Taiwan, and it can be regarded as a "collective memory" between Taiwan and Hong Kong.
  • Listen to the theme song: too many classics.
  • Cross talk performance: One year Guanghua invited the famous Taiwanese cross talk teacher Feng Yigang to Hong Kong to read Jin Yong aloud. I bought his work "Washer Talks Jin Yong", and the book also attached the performance recording of his troupe cross talk Washer "Washer Says Jin Yong". The performance not only revolved around Jin Yong's works, but also satirized current affairs. I laughed while listening.

After Mr. Jin Yong traveled, he talked less about his works, so when he found this book in a bookstore, he was very surprised and bought it without much struggle. There are two reasons for surprise: (1) Someone dared to write this topic; (2) The book has more than 400 pages and hard cover, and it actually sold for HK$148. It is flat, but it indicates that the author received too little. After reading it, I realized that this book is more than the "price".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Taiwan Yuanliu Publishing House is very interested, and has opened a special page for Jin Yong called "Jin Yong Teahouse", where there is a chat room for Jin fans, Jin fans keep discussing Jin Yong's works, and compare the pros and cons of each character. I was also a reader of electronic newspapers back then, and I also went to the chat room to watch pen battles. The author is also the administrator. This book is a compilation of his analysis of each of Jin Yong's characters - from a scientific point of view. The whole book is better regarded as a dissertation, because at the very beginning (the first part), he has already made his argument: internal strength is the starting point, and internal strength is calculated by seniority. Of course, there are some "queer" characters such as Zhang Wuji. And whether the internal strength is perfect is another level. After discussing internal skills, move on to other martial arts such as Qing Gong, Vision, Boxing and Kung Fu. The author joins theories of science, physics, etc. to analyze the force of the characters. For example, in the analysis of short-distance speed, the author tried to compare the speed of the current 100-meter trapeze, and found that Wei Yixiao was faster than the 100-meter trapeze because "it goes to 45 meters in 1 second". The author spends a long time analyzing the above "force" word by word before entering the comparison of the force of each work.

The most difficult part of reading must be the argumentative part of the first two chapters. Reading is especially slow, because you have to carefully understand his arguments and analyze whether they are justified. Therefore, when reading the third part: analyze the martial arts of the characters in each work, and then compare their internal strength, internal strength, resilience, martial arts, weapons, and light power as detailed items, and compare them in a table. Therefore, I am very worthy of the author's intentions, and I feel sorry for him, because it is a pity that Mr. Jin Yong can't read this book.

Who is the strongest? Some people say Duan Yu, but Duan Yu's martial arts occasionally fail. Even if there is a great method of attracting stars, which absorbs other people's internal strength for use, but it is not polished to pure (like Japanese wine polished rice), it is not necessarily strong. As for who is the strongest, the author personally told everyone on the Internet.

No matter who is strong or weak, I only know that Mr. Jin Yong must have been in a hurry when he serialized in the newspaper, because there are many illogical ways of writing. For example, Xiao Feng can use 70% of his strength to smash people's heads (the brain cannot burst), and he can "split the stone and open the monument", but he can't break the head of a tiger. It can only be guessed whether the tiger bones are harder than the stone tablet. In addition, with Xiao Feng's palm power hitting Arjuna, Arjuna can still have the strength to say his last words, which is another "black question mark".

After all, as the author said, Jin Yong's works put emotion first, and other things are not the focus.
