But, if great, who is the greatest woman in Jin Yong's novels? Miss Xiaolong, Wang Yuyan and Princess Xiangxiang, or Zhao Min, Ren Yingying, Ning Zhongze, Min Rou, or A Qing and Huang Rong? I don't think so. The greatest woman in my eyes is Ping Li.
Ping Li, the character in Jin Yong's masterpiece The Legend of the Condor Heroes, the wife of Guo Xiaotian and the mother of the protagonist Guo Jing, is a strong peasant woman.
She looks like an ordinary rural woman, or ugly. Think about what happened when she ran away with that inhuman Duan Tiande. In addition to pregnancy, it is estimated that it is also related to bad looks. There is no culture about it, and certainly no martial arts. However, I have some truth in saying that she is great.
First, a strong body. Ping Li is just a stupid woman who doesn't know martial arts. To put it bluntly, she is like all of us, except that others have no chance to dance ballroom dancing and go to the gym. However, the physical condition, how to say, is better than her daughter-in-law Huang Rongqiang. Huang Rong used to be fearless in times of crisis with a big belly, but before and after that, Huang Rong was well-fed and well-dressed. Moreover, when I was attacked with a big belly, I didn't dare to expand my martial arts too much, for fear of moving my tires. Huang Rong's martial arts is basically equivalent to the highest level of women in all Jin Yong's novels (of course, there is still a big gap between Wadaki and other old ladies who secrete too much androgen). It is estimated that her performance has been quite strong. But compared with her mother-in-law, Ping Li was on the run like a demon all the way, and her life was in danger at any time. She was also regarded as a paunchy able-bodied man (how about ancient times? ), give birth to a child in the snow, and Guo Jing this child, except a little silly, without any sequelae, extremely stout. Who can match her physique?
Second, super psychological quality. After her husband died, she had to flee with the enemy and give birth to a child in the snow. There are many tragic things in the world, and Ping Li may not be the worst. However, when she "bites the umbilical cord with her teeth and holds the meat in her arms", she is entitled to shout: "Who can be worse than me!" Yes But she survived. A widow survived in a strange country and raised a warrior. Which of Jin Yong's novels can have this ability to survive in adversity? Aren't people who jump off a cliff to kill themselves ashamed to see Ping Li?
Third, deep love. Guo Xiaotian is not handsome, has no money and is not good at martial arts. I guess he may not know how to be gentle and considerate. But what happened? In Ping Li's eyes, he is always the only whistling elder brother (see Guo Jing's first meeting with the seven eccentrics in the south of the Yangtze River. Guo Jing doesn't know his father's name, because Ping Li only knows the whistling elder brother and doesn't care much about the name Guo Xiaotian. Of course, this also shows that Ping Li's cultural level is not high. But strangely, Bao Xiang called Yang Tiexin Tiege instead of Xin Ge, while Ping Li called her husband Xiao Ge instead of Tian Ge. What kind of name is this? Ping Li has been waiting for Guo Jing all her life, but she is also waiting for her lover, her husband and her screaming brother.
Fourth, a strong mother-child relationship. In fact, Ping Li's love for Guo Jing is not obvious. There is not so much to show. Indeed, how much can a rural woman show? But you can read between the lines.
Fifth, patriotic complex. After reading the last few paragraphs, I think it is the most touching one I have ever seen. Ping Li comforted his son and committed suicide so as not to drag him down. What she said, especially compared with many girls nowadays, is to find a foreigner, whether she is black or white, whether she is American, Zimbabwean or Tanzanian. In a word, she feels proud to sleep with a foreigner, not in the same breath!
Sixth, smart. Ping Li herself said that she was not as clever as Rong Er and Zhu Cong. Of course, but wisdom can also be seen in the chapters of the kit.
Seven, technology. Can brocade!
Ping Li is also brave and diligent; Li Ping has many good places. But it can be seen from here that the seemingly unknown woman, with so little ink, is printed in my mind. I think she's great. What about you?
