Many characters in Jin Yong's novels have been distorted to varying degrees in movies and television dramas. The following are some of the more seriously distorted characters: Duan Yu: In the original novel, Duan Yu was a kind, righteous young man with lofty moral qualities. However, in the movie, Duan Yu was portrayed as a silly and sweet person who lacked independent thinking and judgment and was used by the protagonist Murong Fu and others. Zhou Botong: In the original novel, Zhou Botong was a humorous, open-minded, and intelligent character. However, in the film and television series, Zhou Botong was portrayed as a dull, stupid character who only knew Tai Chi. It was far from the original image. 3. Linghu Chong: In the original novel, Linghu Chong was a Jianghu character with a strong sense of justice and courage, with a complex emotional experience. However, in the film and television series, Linghu Chong was portrayed as a wicked and arrogant character who lacked the depth and content of the original. 4. The Four Friends of Mei Zhuang: In the original novel, the Four Friends of Mei Zhuang were kind, open-minded, and righteous Jianghu characters. It was Cheng Lingsu and Huang Rong who helped them fight against the evil forces. However, in the film and television series, the Four Friends of Mei Zhuang were portrayed as a character who only knew how to drink and practice Taiji Fist, which was far from the original image. 5 Azhu: In the original novel, Azhu was a smart, kind, and brave woman who sacrificed her life to save her husband Jin Yong. However, in the film and television series, Azhu was portrayed as a stupid, weak, and incompetent character used by the protagonist Jin Yong, which was far from the original image.
