Why were men like Chu Liuxiang and Lu Xiaofeng not good men?

Answer 1

Chu Liuxiang, Lu Xiaofeng, and other men under Gu Long's pen were regarded as legendary figures in Jianghu, but that didn't mean that they were all good men. This is because the background and social environment of Gu Long's novels are very different from modern society. The behavior and values of the characters are also very different.

In Gu Long's novels, Jianghu was a world full of power, money, and desire. The characters often had a lot of personal colors and distinct personality characteristics. Chu Liuxiang, Lu Xiaofeng, and the others roamed the martial world in pursuit of power, wealth, and reputation. They often did things that violated morality and ethics at the expense of their own interests.

The characters in Gulong's novels generally had a sense of self-protection. They would not easily reveal their true identity and personality to avoid being used or hurt by others. Therefore, in Gu Long's novels, the true personalities and values of the male protagonists who were regarded as legendary figures were often unknown to others. Their images also represented a special group in the martial arts world.

Although Chu Liuxiang, Lu Xiaofeng and other men were portrayed as bad characters in the novel, they were also fictional characters, representing a kind of writing style and worldview in Gu Long's novels. When reading these novels, we should use the fictional story as the background to understand the characters 'images and values rather than judge them as the standard of reality.
