Chapter 2 Ask "Sword" Yu Gulong

In fact, what I am asking is not a sword, but a hook; it is a "parting hook".It is the "Farewell Hook" that will be serialized in the United Daily News. Gu Long often said in his works: If there is no reunion, where can there be parting?But Gu Long emphasized more, if there is no parting, how can we get together? Gu Long has not released a work for eight months. Gu Long has been away from readers for eight months. In Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia, Gu Long's original works accounted for four of the top ten grossing films in 1977.This is an unprecedented record.

Singapore's Dayang Publishing Company has also signed a contract with Gu Long to purchase the English translation copyright of all Gu Long's works.This is also a record of Chinese writers. However, during these eight months, Gu Long was not in a very happy state of mind.In the "Seven Star Dragon King" serialized by Minsheng Daily, there is a lyric that can roughly describe his state of mind: The endless wine in the glass, the endless farewell songs. A precious sword that cannot be put down, and a tall building that cannot be climbed. Endless blood of heroes, endless head of enemies.

When Gu Long was in a bad mood, he began to think.As a result of thinking, the "parting hook" was born. Gu Long said that the previous works of "Farewell Hook" can be said to be the works of his youth.At that time, the imagination was very rich, and as soon as there was a subject, I would start writing immediately, and wherever I wrote, I would serialize it. "Parting Hook" is a transformation. Because the serialization of "Farewell Hook" has not yet started, the whole book has already been written. "Farewell Hook" represents Gu Long's stage when he entered the prime of life. He began to conceive and organize the plot as a whole; I also have a new understanding of the things I understand; my views on life are more profound.

Gu Long said that Flaubert believed that there would be no novels after the 19th century, because there were too many great writers in the 19th century, who wrote all the vicissitudes of life and death.However, in the twentieth century, why are there still so many novels? Gu Long said, because Flaubert overlooked one point, that is, human emotions are always changing.The twists and turns of the story will be endless, but the changes of human emotions are endless.Therefore, human thoughts and feelings are endless subjects to write about.In particular, the use of different literary forms can describe a variety of emotional thoughts.

Wuxia novels are a form of literature. Gu Long believes that as long as he has sympathy for human beings, as long as he has a heart of compassion, no matter what form he uses to create, he should be included in the palace of literature. Gu Long's works, in addition to containing the changes in human thoughts and feelings, also express a very positive outlook on life.Gu Long has always described bright thoughts and honest actions, affirming that evil can prevail over good, and affirming that hard work can lead to success. There is no gray life in Gu Long's works, and readers will never have the idea of ​​suicide after reading the boring life.What Gu Long brings to readers is positivity, progress, hard work and struggle.So, after eight months of separation, Gu Long reunited with readers.
