Beautiful, heroic, intelligent, and reasonable. When these words are gathered on the same woman, what kind of life do you think she should have? No matter how you look at it, at least there should be many suitors around her. Since that is the case, she should probably be very happy for the rest of her life. However, this is not the case. Guo Xiang in " The Legend of Condor Heroes " is such a woman.
is actually strange. Guo Xiang's character is somewhat similar to her mother Huang Rong . It can even be said that Guo Xiang was carved from the same mold as Huang Rong. They have a slightly evil style, are both extraordinary in appearance, and are also crazy about love. But why is Huang Rong's life perfect, while Guo Xiang is lonely all his life?
(Story of Huang Rong)
Jin Yong It is not intentional to let two characters with the same character experience different lives to achieve differentiation of role positioning. In fact, from the details in the book, we can see that Jin Yong's arrangement of their destiny is reasonable.
1. The mother and daughter of both "evil"
Guo Xiang is Huang Rong's daughter. It seems natural that she is similar to Huang Rong. In fact, it is not true. You should know that Huang Rong has an eldest daughter Guo Fu . She doesn't look like Huang Rong at all. In terms of appearance, Gongsun Zhi even thought that Wanyan Ping was Huang Rong's daughter. She completely ignored Guo Fu on the side. In terms of IQ, Huang Rong was extremely smart, but Guo Fu was quite brainless. He was a typical fool. In terms of style of doing things, Huang Rong was a little evil, while Guo Fu seemed to be stern. Although she was brainless, she also had a bit of chivalrous style. For example, when facing Li Mochou , Guo Fu swears to never surrender, which is more like his father Guo Jing .
, and Guo Xiang is different. She looks like Huang Rong, she is not inferior to Huang Rong, and she is also like Huang Rong, and she belongs to the "evil school".
(Guo Fu's stills)
In the early years, Huang Rong was once called the "little demon girl" by Jiangnan Seven Monsters . Of course, at that time, Ke Zhene and others were prejudiced against Huang Rong. After all, she was the daughter of Huang Laoxie , but in fact, Huang Rong's style of behavior was indeed very "evil". For example, she cut the ears of a fat woman, which was a bit too much. After all, that person was not guilty.
, and Guo Xiang doesn't need to say that she is an evil sect. Guo Xiang once said to Huang Rong: "He (Yang Guo ) and grandfather and me are both evil sects. "
Look at the attitude of pursuing love again. Huang Rong can be said to be pestering Guo Jing and is very proactive. For Guo Jing, she can go through fire and water; Guo Xiang is the same. Since the Fengling Ferry Crossing, she has been following Yang Guo, and later she jumped off the 小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小�
2. Different endings
Don’t think that Huang Rong and Guo Jing’s love is smooth sailing. In fact, in this relationship, Huang Rong should be considered the party who has made more efforts. She sacrificed a lot for Guo Jing.
Although Guo Jing is not as fickle as Zhang Wuji and Wei Xiaobao , there are many temptations around him, such as Hua Zheng and Cheng Yaojia have loved Guo Jing. In the serialized version of the story, even Yang Guo's biological mother "snake catcher" Qin Nanqin once admired Yang Guo, but Huang Rong was the one who came with Guo Jing in the end, so her ending was naturally relatively successful.

Relatively speaking, Guo Xiang's journey of pursuing love is more bumpy. After all, there are many young girls around Yang Guo. However, in the sixteen years later, Guo Xiang actually only has one rival in love, that is Yang Guo's wife Xiaolongnu . Don't condemn Guo Xiang here to know that Yang Guo has a wife and still pester Yang Guo. In fact, from Guo Xiang's perspective, Xiaolongnu should have been no longer in the world.
After all, Huang Rong once mentioned to Guo Xiang that the so-called " South China Sea God Ni " actually does not exist at all. The reason why Xiaolongnu proposed the "sixteen-year agreement" back then was more like a lie that she had just made up after knowing that she had been poisoned.
So there is nothing immoral about Guo Xiang's pursuit of Yang Guo. At least before the reunion of Long and Yang, her various behaviors can be understood. Even when she followed Yang Guo to jump out of the Valley of Remorse, Yang Guo should accept her love. After all, from Yang Guo's perspective at that time, Xiaolongnu was not at the bottom of the valley, and at this time there was a little girl who was deeply in love with him. He should "let herself go" and get out of the haze, and give Guo Xiang and himself a chance to pursue happiness again.
But Jin Yong didn't write that. Guo Xiang could only watch Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu retreat to the world, but she held on to Yang Guo for the rest of her life, never married until she died, and never let go of her obsession. After all, the name of "Fengling" of her disciple was to commemorate the Fengling Ferry where she first met with Yang Guo.
(Story of Guo Xiang)
What is the reason why this mother and daughter with similar characters have experienced completely different lives?
In fact, there are not only commonalities, but also obvious differences between them.
3. The old naughty boy solves doubts
Although in reality, "good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil" is not an objective law, in literary works, the author can artificially control the fate of the character, so good people in the book can often have a good ending, while bad people will most likely end up miserably. Although Guo Xiang is not a bad person, it is reasonable for Jin Yong to give her an unfulfilled love.
What is the attitude of Guo Xiang towards love, sixteen years old? You may only see her persistence in Yang Guo and feel that she is very affectionate. In fact, she has a affectionate side and a frivolous side.
For example, when Zhou Botong and Yinggu hooked up together, it was obvious that the two of them made a big mistake. How did Guo Xiang evaluate Zhou Botong's move?
The original work said: "Guo Xiang listened in a daze until Zhou Botong finished speaking, and saw that he was ashamed, he asked: 'In addition to Concubine Liu, how many concubines are there?' Zhou Botong said: 'Although he is not as good as the Emperor of Song , the Emperor of Song , there are always dozens of concubines in three palaces and six courtyards.' Guo Xiang said: ' photo! He has dozens of concubines, and you don't even have a wife. He takes all his friend's opinion and should send Concubine Liu to you.'"
Why should Emperor of Duan give Yinggu to Zhou Botong? Guo Xiang is affectionate about his own love, but he regards the feelings of others as worthless. Is such a woman worthy of a happy marriage?
( Stills from Zhou Botong and Yinggu)
You may say that Guo Xiang was still young at that time and was "childishly speaking", but this obviously doesn't make sense, because when Huang Rong heard about the past between Zhou Botong and Yinggu, she angrily scolded Yideng Master , because in her opinion, the practice of Yideng is not advisable.
The book says: "Yi Deng then said, 'I was so angry when I came here, and said, ' Senior Brother Zhou, I am indeed willing to give up love and give it to you. How could it be? Since ancient times, brothers are like brothers and feet, and husband and wife are like clothes. What big deal does a woman deserve?'' Huang Rong said anxiously: ‘Ba, bah, uncle, you look down on women. These words are simply nonsense.’”
Huang Rong was only fifteen or sixteen years old at this time, but her attitude towards this matter was completely different from Guo Xiang. It is not difficult to see from here that Huang Rong respects everyone’s feelings. Such a woman is naturally worth a good marriage.
All fruits start from the cause, and all rewards start from the career. The reason why Jin Yong gave Huang Rong and Guo Xiang a completely different ending was actually a foreshadowing.
