Jin Yong wrote a novel where the male protagonist is a monk
Many of the male protagonists in Mr. Jin Yong's novels were monks. The more famous ones were Duan Yu in " Demigods and Semi-Devils ", Yang Guo in " The Return of the Condor Heroes ", and Linghu Chong in " The Smiling Proud Jianghu ". The monks in these novels often had unique personalities and experiences that were contrary to traditional Buddhist teachings, but also had a certain degree of attraction and charm. Among them, Duan Yu was one of Mr. Jin Yong's representative works. He was born in the Dali Kingdom. He was a handsome and powerful monk who later became the emperor of the Dali Kingdom. Yang Guo was the male lead in " The Return of the Condor Heroes." He was a martial arts master who accidentally killed his own mother and embarked on the road of revenge. Later, he became a legendary figure in the Jianghu. Ling Huchong was the male lead in the movie," The Laughing Proud in the World." He was an open-minded and carefree monk. He had once served as the head of the Huashan Sect, but later chose to leave the sect and wander the world. Although the monks in these novels had different personalities and experiences, they all had one thing in common. That was, they chose a lifestyle different from the traditional Buddhist teachings and showed their unique charm and strength in the Jianghu.
