There is always such a routine in traditional martial arts novels.
The rubbish male protagonist was knocked off the cliff by the enemy and survived. He met a peerless master at the bottom of the cliff. The master taught him a long-lost masterpiece, and the rubbish male protagonist finally learned something. The little girl next door escaped far and wide, and was passed down as a legendary story.
As a result, there is blood and blood, there is joy and enmity, and there is love and righteousness. This is where martial arts novels become wonderful.
Jin Yong has raised martial arts novels to a higher level. After the greed and hatred, there is still national hatred and family hatred, as well as inheritance and ridicule... He has a deeper understanding.
The works of Alexandre Dumas are Western martial arts novels. We call it a knightly novel.
The film "The Count of Monte Cristo" is derived from the novel "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Dumas, which is a film about revenge and love.
The young boy Edmond was betrayed by his friend and framed by the consul. Thirteen years in prison on the island.
There was only a small window in the prison where sunlight could be seen, and a window the size of a dog hole was opened twice a day, once to deliver food and once to remove excrement.
Edmund met a learned old priest in prison, who dug a tunnel into Edmund's cell. Edmund learned economics, mathematics, astronomy...and learned swordsmanship under the guidance of the old priest.
The two dug a tunnel together to prepare for escape. In the end, the old priest was crushed to death by gravel in the tunnel. This time, he was free forever.
At the moment of escaping from prison, Edmund in tattered clothes was like a bird breaking free from the cage.
When he returned to his hometown, unexpectedly, things were already different.
The good friend who once betrayed him had a happy family, the fiancee he once loved married a "good friend" within a month of his departure, and his father died in depression because of his "sin". He is already a man without relatives.
He wants revenge, and revenge is the only thing he has.
Use the treasure revealed by the priest to buy the estate and invite celebrities to parties. He became the enigmatic "Count of Monte Cristo".
Use intrigue, politics, and alliance infighting to dismantle the enemy. Hatred made it impossible for the Count of Monte Cristo to kill them easily, he needed to make life worse for them.
The old pastor before his death, and his faithful servant, had asked him to give up hatred and choose love and a better life, but he refused.
He needs to give an account of his years of prison torture. Dumas was not negative about the revenge of the Count of Monte Cristo. There is dissuasion, but more support.
In the world of Chinese martial arts novels, it is more about putting down the butcher knife and becoming a Buddha, or giving up oneself for others and helping the world.
They tend to have a negative attitude towards revenge, or more negative concepts.
"Today you killed his father, tomorrow he killed your wife, the day after tomorrow his son killed you, and finally your child killed his son..." When is the time for retribution? !
Chinese-style revenge has a tradition of "paying off the debts of the father and the son". There is no end to revenge, and it is more about forgiving others and letting go of yourself.
Western-style revenge is to choose not to forgive, to kill the people who harmed me, and I will live a happy life from now on.
Although Chinese martial arts novels have individual heroism, they cannot get rid of the collective consciousness. We must take care of our family, we must be patriotic, and we must maintain the honor of the sect. For this reason, the individual hero can sacrifice his life, and the hero can be called a hero because of this.
Some people say that the ending of Qiao Feng in "Tian Long Ba Bu" can only be death. He forced the Khitan army to invade the Central Plains, but he could not escape the fate of being a Khitan.
Life is also what I want, and what I want is even worse than life, and I give up my life for righteousness.
Qiao Feng had righteousness, so he sacrificed his life to die.
In "The Count of Monte Cristo", the consul is hostile to Napoleon Bonaparte, and Napoleon threatens the consul's regime, but Dumas does not make it clear which side the Count of Monte Cristo should be on, he sends the consul to prison , it's just a personal grudge, nothing to do with politics.
Heroes, hoe the strong, help the weak, punish the bad and promote the good.
And the knight just wanted to save his princess.
