天涯‧明月‧刀 #1
จอมดาบหิมะแดง
ชีวิต ความจริงก็สั้นอย่างยิ่ง
มิว่าผู้ใด...ในที่สุดยังคงต้องตาย
คนมีชีวิตอยู่เพื่อกระไรกันแน่?
ไฉนต้องดิ้นร้นต่อสู้? ไฉนต้องทนทุกข์ทรมาน? ไฉนไม่เข้าใจ
ตายจึงเป็นการพักผ่อนโดยสงบไปชั่วนิรันดร์
...ในเมื่อชีวิตโศกเศร้าลำเค็ญเพียงนี้
ไฉนยังจะต้องมีชีวิตอยู่ต่อไป?
มือที่กำดาบของโป้วอั้งเสาะ เน้นแนบแน่นกว่าเดิม
ใช่ว่าเตรียมจะชักดาบ? ชักดาบฆ่าผู้ใด?
...มีแต่โป้วอั้งเสาะเองจึงสามารถฆ่าตัวเอง
และก็มีแต่โป้วอั๊งเสาะเท่านั้น จึงจะฆ่าตัวตายได้!

Xiong Yaohua (Chinese: 熊耀華) (7 June 1938 – 21 September 1985), better known by his pen name Gu Long, was a Chinese novelist, screenwriter, film producer and director. Xiong is best known for writing wuxia novels and serials, which include Juedai Shuangjiao, Xiaoli Feidao Series, Chu Liuxiang Series, Lu Xiaofeng Series and Xiao Shiyilang. Some of these works have been adapted into films and television series for numerous times. In the 1980s Xiong started his own film studio, Bao Sian, to focus on adaptations of his works. He graduated from Cheng Kung Senior High School in Taipei and from the Foreign Language Department of Tamkang University.
Xiong was born on 7 June 1938 in Hong Kong but his registered identity claimed that he was born in 1941. His ancestral home was in Nanchang, Jiangxi, China, and he lived in Hankou in his childhood. He moved to Taipei, Taiwan in 1952 with his parents, who divorced in 1956. With help from his friends and using the money he earned from part-time work to fund his education, Xiong graduated from the Foreign Language Department of Tamkang University. He found a job in the United States Army Advisory in Taipei later.
In 1960, Xiong published his first wuxia novel, Cangqiong Shenjian (蒼穹神劍), under the pen name "Gu Long". From 1960 to 1961, Xiong published eight novels but did not achieve the results he desired. He moved to Ruifang Town (瑞芳鎮) and lived there for three years, after which he changed his perspective and adopted a new writing style. Between 1967 and the late 1970s, Xiong rose to prominence in the genre of modern wuxia fiction for his works. As the sole representative of excellence in the wuxia genre from Taiwan for an entire decade, Xiong was named along with Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng as the "Three Legs of the Tripod of Wuxia".
While he was still in university, Xiong lived with a dance hostess, Zheng Yuexia (鄭月霞), and had a son, Zheng Xiaolong (鄭小龍), with her. However, later, he started a relationship with another dance hostess, Ye Xue (葉雪), who also bore him a son, Ye Yikuan (葉怡寬). Shortly after that, Xiong met a senior middle school graduate, Mei Baozhu (梅寶珠), who became his first legal spouse and bore him his third son, Xiong Zhengda (熊正達). Xiong's extramarital affairs with other women caused him to break up with Mei later.
In the later part of his life, Xiong suffered from depression and the quality of his works declined rapidly. He had to employ ghostwriters to co-write many of his later works because of his ailing health. He died on 21 September 1985 at the age of 48 due to illness wrought by alcoholism, namely cirrhosis and esophageal hemorrhage, at around 6pm. Xiong's friends brought him 48 bottles of XO at his funeral.
Xiong was said to be influenced not only by wuxia fiction, but also by the works of Ernest Hemingway, Jack London, John Steinbeck and Friedrich Nietzsche. His novels are usually made up of short sentences and paragraphs, and mostly dialogues between characters like a play script.
In contrast with Xiong, other writers such as Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng take an alternative route in writing wuxia fiction, incorporating Chinese history, culture and philosophical ideas in their works. Xiong initially intended to follow them but changed his decision after exposure to western works such as the James Bond series and The Godfather novels. The influence of these works, which relied on the idiosyncrasies of human life, razor-sharp wit, poetic philosophies, mysterious plots and spine-tingling thrills to achieve success, enabled Xiong to come up with a unique way of writing.

Exceptional ;) leave you things to think about life...esp living.
...ความหมายของชีวิต คือต่อสู้สืบไปไม่หยุดยั้ง ขอเพียงท่านเข้าใจประการนี้ ชีวิตของท่านก็มิใช่ไร้ความหมายอีก ความคับแค้นลำเค็ญในชีวิตคน ความจริงก็เป็นการรอคอยให้ผู้คนไปสยบพิชิตด้วยตนเอง
ตาย ไม่สามารถคลี่คลายปัญหาใดๆ มีแต่คนขี้ขลาด ที่ไม่อาจทนทานการกระทบกระเทือนเท่านั้น จึงใช้ความตายมาปลดเปลื้อง...
