In the World of martial arts, there are loads of scenes we can imagine, and put yourself into the story, together with the leading characters. Either it is guy or girl, we will definitely enjoy the whole story.
Here, I'm going to introduce to you all one the most classic Chinese must read martial art novel : The Legend Of the Condor Hero (if I recall the name correctly), in Chinese would be神雕侠侣...
It comes in a lot of version, renewed, and also comics. Loads of different versions of movies and dramas for this novel also been produced, like as usual, which they did most of the time...
This whole thingy was talking about the guy (Yang Guo) and the girl (Xiao Long Nv), which they emerged and improvised their love from master-disciple love to become young love, and then true love.
Yang Guo was a poor kid at the first, he never knew how his parents died, due to the secrets kept by Guo Jing and Huang Rong (The famous husband and wife in the story), and they didn't really teach Yang anything on martial art. Growing up in an environment without love and care from what he sees, the whole world seems so cruel to him.
Finally, Guo Jing sent Yang to Mountain of Zhong Nan, which there Yang again experienced another cruelty by the mates there...He was in bad luck, but in good luck at the same time. He founded a way in to a tomb, which he met his first and only love in his whole life - Xiao Long Nv...This beautiful girl was actually older than Yang 2 to 3 years, but due to long term of practicing martial arts without any disturbance (desire), the look was so elegant and yet cold in the inside. She was trained not to leave the tomb for the whole life, and was also trained well with her skills. This meeting changed both of their lives forever.
As time, Yang was been kicked out from Mountain of Zhong Nan, and Yang started his own life with Xiao Long Nv inside the tomb.
They still need to come out, Yang would never bear ti stay inside, he is still young. But, Xiao Long Nv without any experience outside the world, she was been raped accidentally by one of the disciples of Quan Zhen, and everything change again and again...
In between Yang and Xiao Long Nv, it was just plainly master-disciple thingy, which after both of them left, they became lovers. Difficulties happen, and because Xiao Long Nv was Yang's master in martial art. Logically and culturally, they weren't suppose to be together, so called complicated relationship in the all the eyes of people during that time.
Yang achieve the martial arts level into that no one can really crack him down except for few, but, he was also a man that kept his promise, and also like to help (Robin Hood) like type of master.
Yang and Xiao Long Nv was meant to divide 16 years, and things gone in all ways. Yang became more and more stronger, and Xiao Long Nv, without any news from anyone, he was still waiting for the 16 years time to come.
The love between this 2 people might sound a bit mind blowing, and to the extend of never been accepted in a way round, but, it was true love that made them finally met each other beyond the cliff, and is what love drags them so far and so close to each other.
Love in them was so strong, which only will be in novels rather than the reality outside the world. We might always questioning ourselves why we never get to love anyone that we wanted to love like Yang Guo and Xiao Long Nv, since they can do it, why can't we?
Love was not a easy way to go along with, and it's not a thing to gamble.
Love of Yang to Xiao Long Nv, was true firm. Love, friendship, bromance and patriotic love to your country was actually what the novel was about, but, without love as a spice inside, story would be different.
Yang and Xiao Long Nv, The Legend of the Condor Hero, which they never ask, never question, and this was what they were all the time. Love the country, Love each other more than themselves. You might want to call this a sacrificial love, unworthy love. But, it is love that also made the story to live.
Martial arts is not just about fighting, its also about humble and learn how be a good person in life.
Legends and legacy can be created, so like the condor hero did, with love.
