What kind of woman is Guo Xiang? In fact, few people will look at her objectively. Those who love her think she is smart, pleasant and reasonable, while those who hate her think she is too romantic. She knows that Yang Guo already has his beloved wife Xiao Longnu , but she still can't let go of Yang Guo.
Although these are all facts, they are also slightly one-sided. In fact, combined with the character assigned to Guo Xiang by Jin Yong , what she did is actually not difficult to understand.

For example, one of the things she was most criticized for was that when her parents died in the war, she was still traveling around and playing in the mountains, which seemed extremely unfilial. However, as the saying goes, "Don't encourage others to do good unless they have suffered." Some people also say, "He who sows the cause must eat the fruit." If you look at the details in the book, you may be able to understand Guo Xiang's approach.
1. The helpless ending
At the end of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Jinlun Dharma King captured Guo Xiang as a hostage. The Xiangyang defenders, who were already at a disadvantage, became particularly passive. Even though Guo Jing understood the righteousness and would rather sacrifice Guo Xiang than surrender, the heroes still felt that their hands were tied.
However, for readers, there will not be any sense of tension, because the author has no reason to give the protagonist team a tragic ending at the end of the story, so the outcome of this Xiangyang battle must end with Xiangyang the defenders winning, and this is indeed the case.
But readers also know that this is because the story needs a happy ending, and apart from the martial arts story, this plot is based on real history. Because of this, after the story ends, if Guo Jing chooses to continue to defend the city, he will inevitably meet a tragic ending.
Guo Jing had actually expected this. In his own words: "Zhuge Liang's talent for governing the country and bringing peace to the people cannot be understood even by us crude people. He once said that all he knew was, "I will do my best until I die." As for the final success or failure, he couldn't see through it. When I talked to your Aunt Guo about whether Xiangyang could be defended or not, when we talked about it later, it always just said, "I will do my best until I die." Eight words. "

In the last battle of Xiangyang, Guo Jing did what he promised. He did devote himself to the people of Xiangyang and gave his life for the people of Xiangyang. However, it is inaccurate to say that Guo Jing's family "succumbed to the city as a whole" because Guo Xiang survived.
2. The "speechless" woman
Guo Jing and his wife can be regarded as a dragon and a phoenix among men, but their children are like "crouching dragons and phoenixes" with changed tastes. At least from the outside, they are all weirdos among weirdos.
Judging from the final outcome of Guo Jing's family, the book says this: " On the day when the city of Xiangyang was destroyed, Guo Daxia and his wife were martyred at the same time as Guo Gongpolu, The dragon-slaying knife was missing. Patriarch Guo was in Xichuan at the time, and when he rushed to save his parents and relatives, it was too late. ”
Both daughters are not in Xiangyang, only the son died in the battle with Guo Jing and his wife, which is really sad. On the surface, the two daughters are quite speechless. When their parents were defending the city, they were not there, but what the author wants to say is exactly the opposite. It is Guo Polu who stayed in Xiangyang who is the stupidest.

Because his parents had already formulated the "Eternal Dragon Slaying Plan", as the guardian of the Dragon Slaying Sword, did Guo Polu play any substantial role in staying in Xiangyang to assist his parents in defending the city? No, all he did was add one more corpse to Xiangyang City, but what he delayed was the entire Yitian Dragon Slaying Plan, so he seemed very stupid for acting on impulse.
As for Guo Fu and Guo Xiang, they also have reasonable reasons not to stay in Xiangyang. For example, Guo Fu is the wife of the leader of the Beggar Clan . Rather than dying in Xiangyang, her ability to assist her husband in managing the Beggar Clan is the top priority.
Looking at Guo Xiang again, as mentioned above, Guo Polu's death in battle was meaningless, and it also disrupted her parents' plans, so Guo Xiang's absence in Xiangyang is more in line with her status as the "Guardian of the Heavenly Sword". What she should do at this time is to stay away from the battlefield to ensure that Heavenly Sword does not fall into the hands of traitors.
However, in addition to "complete the task", Guo Xiang did not stay in Xiangyang, perhaps because of his own selfishness.
3. Chilling Parents
In fact, many people don’t understand why Guo Xiang is so infatuated with Yang Guo. In fact, if you read the original work carefully and experience the plot as Guo Xiang’s character, you will know that every move she makes is reasonable.
Although Guo Jing and his wife are heroes, they are really incompetent in the education of their children. For Guo Fu, they have always been free-wheeling, which is understandable. It is normal for first-time parents to not know how to raise children. It is also very common in reality for one child to be a baby, but it is precisely because of this that Guo Fu has a unruly and willful temper.
But for Guo Xiang, they used the completely opposite education method.

It is said in the book: " Guo Jing and his wife were so doting on Guo Fu in the past that they caused a lot of trouble, and they treated Guo Xiang He and Guo Polu did the opposite and were extremely strict since they were young. Guo Polu was calm and solemn and had a fatherly demeanor, so that was fine. But Guo Xiang only agreed with his mouth and was unwilling in his heart. "
In Guo Xiang's opinion, what kind of people are his parents? It's very simple. If she gives all her love to her sister and all her harshness to herself, how can she maintain balance in her heart? Not to mention other things, Huang Rong never thought of giving soft hedgehog armor to Guo Xiang, and always wore it on Guo Fu.
At this time, a big brother appeared who cared for him in every possible way. He went through all the troubles to prepare a birthday party for himself that would amaze the world. How could a young girl with the beginning of love resist such a battle? It would be strange if Guo Xiang did not fall for Yang Guo.
This is the reason why Guo Xiang has always been obsessed with Yang Guo. When everything settled and Yang Guo and his wife decided to retire, what do you think Yang Guo left for her? The answer is his own sword, and how did Guo Jing and his wife deal with it?

The book says this: "In the future bloody battles in the Central Plains, the art of war and martial arts will be of great use. Therefore, she hired expert craftsmen to melt the black iron heavy sword that the Condor Hero Yang Guo had left to Master Guo , plus Western fine gold, to make a dragon-slaying sword; and the two sharpest swords at the time, the gentleman's sword of Yang Guo and the lady's sword of Mrs. Yang and Xiao Longnv, were fused to form a heaven-relying sword. "
Look, it is clearly mentioned here that the Black Iron Sword was a gift from Yang Guo to Guo Xiang, but it was melted into the Dragon Slaying Sword and the Yitian Sword by Guo Jing and his wife at their own discretion. If you were Guo Xiang, how would you view this matter? His parents have never cared about him, and now they have destroyed the gift left by his sweetheart. No matter how you look at it, it is inappropriate.
Readers from God’s perspective will naturally understand that Guo Jing and his wife put the overall situation first, but what about Guo Xiang? She is just a teenage girl, how can she understand so much national justice? She will inevitably feel resentment towards her parents. Maybe she will understand her parents' painstaking efforts later on, but at that age, she may not be able to.
So it was normal that Guo Xiang was not with them when Guo Jing and his wife died in the battle.
