"You Bai"——The Growth and Exploration of the Rich and Righteous

I've always wanted to write about this cartoonist, and maybe I can. Because I have seen all his works (there should be no omissions), and I have seen the main works no less than five times.

I prefer to label his name as rich and wicked, in order to express my love and respect for this ghost. Without him, I would be at least half lonelier than I am now.
Being rich and treacherous is because he has a lot of tricks and ideas; he has little righteousness, but it is the opposite. If it is righteousness, it is probably thin.

The values ​​at the beginning of "Youyou Baishu" are very main theme: the true feelings of the world and world peace. True feelings in the world have always been the forte of the rich and treacherous, and his description is particularly moving, because there is nothing fancy or frivolous, it is extremely natural, extremely smart and beautiful. And world peace has always been an illusion, and the rich and traitor never took world peace to heart. It's just that there are a lot of righteous people in the world, and it is not advisable to directly state that "it doesn't matter what the world becomes."
But then he started telling the truth. Yusuke said that it doesn't matter what the world becomes, Kuwahara and others did not hesitate to destroy the barrier and put the world in danger, just for the so-called friendship. Later, Yusuke started talking about humans as food for monsters. Later, Yusuke realized that half the blood of the demons was flowing on his body. Later, he went to the devil world and was very happy.
In fact, Fujian solved a contradiction in this way, which was also his own contradiction. In the human world, you need to bear the appearance of righteousness, so on the one hand, you find that you don’t really care, and on the other hand, you feel that you should care. The solution is: You are not human in the first place. But under such circumstances, he did not face Yusuke in a dilemma, that is, neither the world nor the demon world welcomes him and regards him as a danger. Maybe there was such a potential threat, but the rich and happy innocent nature made him big and small, and small and nothing. He deals with this crisis with an absolute thoroughness: I am open-hearted, I am powerful, and I am afraid of whom. In the end, of course, no crisis exists anymore.
The world of "You Bai" is an ideal country of rich and traitors, and the characters' faces are clearly distinguished. And all the lovable characters are in harmony with Yusuke's heart, and also have a pure heart, no dirt, free and true temperament. In an excerpt, Yusuke's demon father, Lei Chan, came down to find him, saying that Lei Chan was dying and wanted him to return to the demon world.
Yusuke: What are you doing, speak clearly, don't talk so much. Lei Chan is about to die, and now the Three Kingdoms are standing, so why don't you go to the other two sides?
Subordinate: Because we like the feeling of fighting side by side with Lord Leichan.
Yusuke: Then why do you have to fight against those two sides?
Subordinate: Because I hate them.
Yusuke: Haha. I like you very much.
Then he decided to go back.
Because I like it, because I hate it, because it's interesting, because it's boring... This is always the most endearing thing about Fujian, that is, true temperament. It is also the core of his world charm.

But that's just the wicked side of things. He is a cunning man, and a man of careful thought. Therefore, he himself is not a character like Yusuke. Therefore, in his group of four, there will be a person who uses his brain, a person who is good at rational analysis and full of knowledge. Such as Tibetan horses.
Zangma is a clone of him. Not much to say about intelligence and thinking. His main contradiction is sentience and ruthlessness. Many people who know Zangma say that he was cruel as a demon fox in the past. Zangma himself has the same psychological struggle. But he has an iron proof, the iron proof that he has affection, and that is his love for his mother. This is the turning point of Zangma's life set by the rich traitor. At the same time, perhaps Fujian himself also wants to use similar things, such as family and friendship, to prove that he is not ruthless. In fact, he can rest assured that he is not cold. Otherwise, so many emotional descriptions would not be so touching. He's just the kind of sentient being that lacks righteousness.
Another feature of Tibetan horses is camouflage. Unlike Yusuke and others who express his emotions, his likes and dislikes, he always chews in his heart, and his appearance is always very decent.

In addition to the more "normal" protagonists, Fujian likes to create "perverted" characters. They can ignore the eyes of the world, completely ignore the righteousness, go crazy, struggle, suffer, and seek beauty in it. Such as Xian Shui, Hu Yu Lu, Zuo Jing. The rich and traitor envy them, and envy their carelessness. But Fujian is different from them, he can't abandon reason and affection. Because he has a very warm side of himself. Therefore, the past of those characters must have no sunshine, otherwise it will not become like that, and the rich and traitor will make the story reasonable.

The analysis of "You Bai" ends here. The reason for analyzing it is because it is a portrayal of the whole process of the rich and treacherous mature. Fujian explores his own possibilities through this work and wants to find out some answers.
The level of "Hunter" and "Silent White" is incomparable from the perspective of the works themselves. The Hunter is far more mature. It's just that "You Bai" provides a very valuable author's spiritual material.
"You Bai" mainly relies on the characters to stand out, and the plot is not special. In addition to the inner swing of the characters, the unique charm exuded is the slightly evil clarity that runs through all the rich and treacherous works. All in all, it is very charming. In addition to the characters, the plot of "Hunter" is also ingenious and worth savoring. (Fujian why you can keep creating unique and charming characters!)

"Hunter" is a masterpiece. There is no doubt about that. But this time, the rich and traitor has matured. His doubts have been answered. As for whether it is human, this question naturally does not exist in "Hunter". All people are human, they have no hesitation, no doubt about it, they regard themselves as different human beings, and they are comfortable with that identity. In fact, the rich traitor set a safe place for these people from the beginning, that is, the profession of "hunter", and the setting of the entire sinister world. He no longer questioned whether he was affectionate or ruthless. Being affectionate to some and ruthless to others is his answer. This is a natural state, no need to wonder. So all the characters are at ease.
The decisive difference between "You Bai" and "Hunter" is that the doubts of the characters in "You Bai" are also the doubts of the rich and the traitor, while the doubts and struggles of the characters in "The Hunter" are only the characters' own things, and the rich and traitor has already Stay out of the way and see through those confusions. If the rich traitor during the creation of "You Bai" was a dreamer, he was already a god of creation during the creation of "Hunter".

So in fact, "Hunter" is realistic, while "You Bai" is idealistic. The characters in "Hunter" are more like human beings, with the integrity and limitations of human beings, they will not be too perfect, there will not be endless bursts of spiritual power, and there will be no situation where the whole world runs in favor of a certain character (of course, the protagonist A line of proper legend is necessary).

I've always worshipped Fujian as a god, but he's far from perfect. According to Jin Yong, someone like Guo Jing, who is called a chivalrous person, has nothing to do with righteousness. As he himself later realized and calmed down, he just felt that righteousness was irrelevant. This evil spirit, coupled with his brilliance, made him a genius.

So he is just a dish that some people eat for a lifetime.
