When I was a freshman in 2000, I also took Luo Yuming's literary history class when I read "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". He seemed to have just remarried at the time and told us that his eldest daughter had a Korean boyfriend. Then he spit out the "extended life" again, and the example seems to be Cuilian in San Yan Er Pai? Forgotten for a long time. In short, the words "stretched life" were written down.

So when I saw Yu Jiaolong at the time, I felt that she was the best annotation for these words, and I liked it immediately. The first time I saw Zhang Ziyi was when the school put "My Father and Mother" in the auditorium in high school, and I don't know where I got it. At that time, of course, she didn't take the ruthless girl route, she was a silly girl and smiled innocently, but she was not impressed. Instead, she was deeply impressed by the male protagonist.

Later, every time I saw a replay of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" on TV, I would always watch it carefully. Many people criticized Zhang Zhen's accent, but I never thought it was a problem.

After reading the book, pay special attention to the part where they met. Of course Wang Dulu would not write like that. Jiaolong took advantage of the chaos to escape, and this was the first time he tried his own kung fu. There was no Xiaohu among the horse thieves who came down to rob the officers and soldiers. At that time, he was injured and lying in the cottage. The book describes that he has a big beard, does not comb his hair or change his clothes, and finds two women to sing Bangzi - the original writing about the customs of the capital in the Qing Dynasty is very good, but when such a thing is included in the movie, it is stupid. Later, Jiaolong fled and fainted on the road. Xiaohu pretended to be an officer and went to rescue her. Somehow, the two of them met each other's eyes. Of course, it was limited to a pure hug, but that was the meaning of a lifetime promise. In the book, Jiaolong's self-titled "Master Yiyunxuan", of course "Bantianyun" is "remembered"; there is also a cat named "Xuehu", which is of course "Little Tiger".

Wang Dulu also seemed to write romance novels back then, so he took the plain route. For example, Jiaolong wanted Xiaohu to gain fame so that he could marry him. Xiaohu came to her over and over again, she was more angry than happy, it was entirely the mind of a young mistress who wanted to make progress. Xiaohu is weak and affectionate, loves to see women, and also hangs around in Fireworks and Willow Lane. He made a lot of money by selling horses, but he couldn't donate it to officials - it seems that this is definitely not the late Qing Dynasty.

When Jiaolong married Lu Junpei, he also thought that if he hadn't been born so ugly, he would have married too. She seems to be greedy for Xiaohu's physical beauty, or maybe it's because she really can't see any such man. It was not until the end that Xiaohu rescued her from Lu Junpei's threat by using Jianghu methods, and she said, "I only learned today that you are so affectionate. It's as if you didn't know it before, or know it and don't care. In fact, she couldn't live without the life of an official lady, and she wanted to live happily and unrestrainedly. The difficulty everywhere was that she couldn't have the best of both worlds, it was greed.

In the end, her death was not as graceful as in the movie. She jumped off a cliff in the name of Jinxiang. The description of the fragrance is very interesting, especially the part about Liu Taibao and his daughter-in-law, like "The Legend of Heroes", which has a unique northern taste.

So I turned my head and thought that part of the movie was good. For example, two people are fighting in the desert, rolling around on the ground, looking ashamed, and after the fight, there is no appearance at all, and there is no sense of beauty, but the metaphorical relationship between men and women is really tragic. Adding sex, of course, is calculation, but at least they are open to physical relationships. She also did not let Xiaohu seek fame and fame to marry her. For example, a dream can only be passed in the past. Jianghu is a dream, she never thought that she could live in a dream according to her own will. After all, the dream has to wake up and go back.

In the book, the blue-eyed fox is very at ease with washing and seaming, and is afraid that it will be a big deal to be recognized by the enemy if he goes out. In the movie, she used Jianghu dreams to lure Yu Jiaolong all day long, and she probably felt that officials and young ladies who were bound everywhere would like this the most. But Jiaolong is not stupid, although his heart yearns for it, he can still distinguish the importance of it.

Later, when the situation forced her, she really came out, and she didn't want to find Xiaohu, so she had a good time. Jumping off a cliff is an unsatisfactory pursuit of freedom and has nothing to do with feelings. The posture when jumping down is very stretched.

In 2003, we heard Sang Zilan's report on Wang Dulu's romance novels. We said in the audience: She is so beautiful!
