What if Wei Xiaobao didn't have the protagonist halo? Why did Jin Yong write a fantasy novel?

The Wei Xiaobao in Jin Yong's novel The Deer and the Cauldron did not have a prototype in history. This fictional character was based on a historical figure. Its prototype was Wei Xiaobao, a famous politician, businessman, and corrupt official at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Wei Xiaobao was born into a Manchurian noble family and later became an official of the Qing Dynasty. His official position rose step by step and finally became the emperor's favorite minister and became a powerful bureaucrat. However, Wei Xiaobao was not a person with high morals. He was good at corruption, lying, deceiving, and playing politics. In the end, he was killed by the Qing Dynasty officials because of corruption and making friends with assassins. Although Wei Xiaobao was fictional, his image and story were deeply loved by Chinese readers and became an important character and symbol in Chinese culture.

The main characters in Jin Yong's novels, except for Wei Xiaobao, did not have three wives or four concubines. This was because Mr. Jin Yong's works had always emphasized the male protagonist's morality and code of conduct, as well as his attitude towards family and marriage. Mr. Jin Yong believed that marriage was a kind of loyalty and commitment, not a kind of right or obligation. The male lead should respect his wife and abide by the principles of loyalty and integrity. Therefore, in his novel, other than Wei Xiaobao, the other protagonists did not have three or four wives or only married one wife. Mr. Jin Yong's works also reflected the values of traditional Chinese culture, emphasizing the importance of family and marriage, as well as the kinship between parents and children. Therefore, in his novels, the male protagonist would usually care for his family, including his wife and children. The actions and decisions of the male protagonist in the novel were also guided by moral and ethical principles. For example, the male protagonist Duan Yu chose to leave the family with nothing after realizing his mistake and devoted himself to Buddhism. Mr. Jin Yong's works emphasized the male protagonist's moral character and code of conduct, as well as his understanding and respect for family and marriage. Therefore, other than Wei Xiaobao, the other main characters did not have three wives or four concubines.

As for why Mr. Jin Yong didn't write "modern martial arts" novels, it might have something to do with his personal experience and creative ideas. Mr. Jin Yong once said in an interview that the main purpose of his novels was to express the complexity and variety of human nature rather than to cater to a specific need of society. Therefore, it was unlikely for him to write modern martial arts novels that catered to the tastes of the public. Mr. Jin Yong's works have a unique style, which is mainly featured by describing Jianghu grudges, martial arts characters and story plots. His novels are full of chivalrous spirit and sense of justice, which are deeply loved by readers.

Although Mr. Jin Yong's novel creation was very popular with readers, he did not plan to continue writing "Dragons and Demons" or any other novels. Mr. Jin Yong once said that the purpose of his novels was to express his own ideas and values, not to make money or satisfy the needs of his readers. Therefore, he would not rewrite the novels he had already written for commercial interests, which was one of the reasons why many readers liked his works. Although Mr. Jin Yong has left this world, his novels are still loved by readers and will continue to be discovered and presented in the future.

The Return of the Condor Heroes was one of Jin Yong's martial arts novels. It described the love and grudges between Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Yang Guo, and Xiao Longnu. However, Mr. Jin Yong did not create a sequel to The Condor Heroes. The story of the Condor Heroes has ended. Mr. Jin Yong has passed away, so it is impossible to create a sequel. The Condor Heroes had already reached its climax in the novel, and its emotions, plot, and characters had all reached a perfect expression. If he continued to create a sequel, he might lose his original charm. The Return of the Condor Heroes was also one of Jin Yong's representative works. Its influence had already reached its peak. Creating a sequel might affect the appeal of readers. Therefore, Mr. Jin Yong did not create a sequel to The Return of the Condor Heroes.

Wei Xiaobao was described as a witty, brave, cunning, humorous businessman and politician in the story. He was an important character in the novel. However, Jin Yong himself did not directly evaluate Wei Xiaobao's character. Jin Yong is a modern Chinese martial arts novel. His works have had a profound impact on Chinese literature and culture. Many characters in his novels are described as heroes or heroists, but whether they are heroes or not is not a controversial issue. Some readers believe that Jin Yong's heroic characters are usually the representatives of justice, and their actions are seen as being in line with moral norms and values. However, other readers felt that these characters 'actions were sometimes too one-sided and extreme to be called true heroes.

Mr. Jin Yong's novels " The Sword of Green Blood " and " The Return of the Condor Heroes " both mentioned Zhang Sanfeng, but Jin Yong did not specifically write about Zhang Sanfeng's story. This could be due to the following reasons: Zhang Sanfeng is a fictional character created by Mr. Jin Yong himself and does not belong to any real historical figures. Therefore, Mr. Jin Yong did not have the historical background and information to create a story that specifically described Zhang Sanfeng. When Mr. Jin Yong wrote novels, he paid attention to the character's personality, experience, and background of the story rather than the specific appearance and martial arts of the characters. Therefore, when creating Zhang Sanfeng's story, he might pay more attention to the character's inner world and personality rather than his martial arts. As a historical figure, Zhang Sanfeng's life and behavior have many controversial and different views. Therefore, when writing Zhang Sanfeng's story, we need to take into account the views and cultural backgrounds of different reader groups, which may make Mr. Jin Yong feel challenged and pressured. Although Mr. Jin Yong's novels involved many historical figures, he did not specifically write the story of Zhang Sanfeng. This may be due to various considerations.

Jin Yong's novels didn't have such a phenomenon because Jin Yong's novels were a type of realistic literature that focused on describing the fate and personality of the characters rather than emphasizing the importance of physical exercise for the success of the characters. In Jin Yong's novels, many characters had unique personalities and life experiences that determined their fates. Physical training was only one of the ways, not the only way. Therefore, there would be no such thing as being afraid of the young in the novel, emphasizing the importance of physical exercise for the success of the character. Jin Yong's novels also had many plots that described physical exercise. For example, Huang Rong's father, Huang Yaoshi, paid great attention to physical exercise and became a martial arts master through physical exercise. These plots reflected the importance of physical exercise for personal growth and success.

In Jin Yong's novel, The Deer and the Cauldron, the main character Wei Xiaobao's mother was called Wei Chunhua.
