Chapter 4 When I wrote the text of appreciation and analysis of Jin Yong, I brought Jin Yong to the country.

Under the impetus of Mr. Yan Jiayan, Peking University awarded Jin Yong the title of honorary professor. That was the first time I met Jin Yong and took a photo with him.Later, Peking University held an international seminar on Jin Yong's novels.At this time, I was already in my thirties, and I was qualified to speak a few truths.So I started to write some words on appreciation and analysis of Jin Yong, including commenting on Jin Yong's novels with Yan Jiayan, Feng Qiyong, Chen Mo and other gentlemen.Some schools, radio stations, and TV stations have invited me to lecture on Jin Yong's novels in turn.In those few years, the orthodox forces that suppressed and discriminated against Jin Yong were very strong in society. Therefore, I learned the strategy of Mr. Chen Mo, the pioneer of Jin Yong research, and adopted a resolute attitude of resistance to Jin Yong's novels with enthusiasm and affirmation.

In fact, I am quite dissatisfied with Jin Yong's novels, including Jin Yong himself. I think some of the criticisms of Jin Yong by Mr. Chi Yuyu and others are also very reasonable.However, small truths must be subordinated to big truths. Under the fierce attack of traditional Chinese martial arts novels and traditional Chinese culture, we must first protect the people's right to read freely.Only under the premise of free reading of Jin Yong, it is possible to freely discuss the pros and cons of Jin Yong's novel art. Entering the 21st century, we have finally expanded the space for talking about Jin Yong in the academic circle with arduous battles.Jin Yong began to enter various literary histories.I also talked about Jin Yong abroad, and published articles on Jin Yong abroad.Recently, I participated in the editor-in-chief of college popular literature textbooks, and I wrote a special chapter "Jin Yong, the Revolutionary Giant of Martial Arts Novels".My future research focus will still be on Lu Xun, Lao She, Cao Yu and other writers, but Jin Yong will still encounter them often, because this is a cultural focus extending in all directions.

It has been almost twenty years since I encountered Jin Yong, and Jin Yong has become a bit of a nagging old man, and the films and TV adaptations of Jin Yong's works are becoming more and more vulgar.But I can't forget the moving Jin Yong's novels brought to me and the moving others I know.For leisure, for lesson preparation, and for research, I must open Jin Yong's novels many times.I can't predict whether when I'm 40 years old, 50 years old, 60 years old, 70 years old, and 70 years old, my eyes will be full of tears when I face those passages.
