For many people, Lu's version is just an ordinary Hong Kong drama ―― the production is not exquisite, the scenery is rough, and the actors are not first-class, but for me, it means a lot of emotion and resonance.
When I was in college, I revisited Xiao Ao's original works and watched Alu's performance again. By the way, I recognized Ren Yingying, who was considered too ugly when I was a child. Discover a person's most essential preferences, which will never change. A little more mature, I don't think this kind of martial arts is as naive and boring as the education of middle school teachers, but I know what rivers and lakes are and what is sinister, and I know the desolation and loneliness behind the vigorous. As a big girl who is deeply entangled, I love Ling Huchong's wild and uninhibited, his rebellion against hypocritical systems and rules, his sincerity and generosity in transcending good and evil and values, and even his "defects": drinking too much, telling dirty jokes, ruining the image, being soft at critical moments. The legendary swordsman is between idealism and pessimism. Ling Huchong embodies a carefree life like Zhuangzi and a lotus-like innocent attitude.
Many scenes make my heart tremble: he is covered in blood and laughs. He is poor in martial arts but dares to curse the wretched man. When he flirts with beautiful women, he is full of rogues and smug cuteness. He tears off the mask of prude eloquently. He lives in the present, regardless of tomorrow's life and death. He happily dresses up as a general. He despises those who pursue power by hook or by crook, but he is humble and polite to those who respect him and is the most loved.
Ling Huchong is my true love. The cottage in the mountain where he finally drank and played the piano is the secret peach blossom garden in my heart. No matter how the world changes, I am willing to retire in it.
I want to be like him: when I bleed profusely, I laugh. Be able to tell humorous jokes in the face of absurd and obscene people; For those who love deeply, you can pay willingly, but after being betrayed, you can bury your pain and die;
Bleeding is a thing of the past, the legendary swordsman.
