"now that kangxi is in power, everyone can read and everyone can make money. isn't that good? no matter who is the emperor, as long as he is a good emperor." this line reflects wei xiaobao's thoughts on the changing times, and also reflects mr. jin yong's complex emotions towards "chivalry" and "times" from the bottom of his heart.
mr. jin yong's life trajectory, like the heroes in martial arts novels, has experienced wind and rain and baptism. he witnessed the great changes in history, the suffering of the people, and the fragility of life. his works are full of "chivalrous" thoughts, but also contain traces of the contemplation of the times.
at the end of the deer and the cauldron, wei xiaobao made his own decision: "it doesn't matter who is the emperor, as long as he is a good emperor." this is a choice of the times and also a personal choice. mr. jin yong's "xiangyang city" represents the pursuit of a better life and the persistence of the chivalrous spirit.
"why do we practice martial arts? it is our duty to be chivalrous and help people in need, but this is only the lesser form of chivalry. people in the martial arts world call me 'guo the great hero' because they respect me for my selfless dedication to defending xiangyang for the sake of my country and my people. however, my abilities are limited and i cannot help the people out of their difficulties. i am really unworthy of the title of 'great hero'. you are ten times smarter than me, and your future achievements will certainly be far greater than mine. this goes without saying. i only hope that you will keep these eight words in mind: 'serving the country and the people is the greatest form of chivalry', and become famous throughout the world and a true great hero respected by all people."
