笑傲江湖(四)新修版

The Smiling Proud Wanderer #4

by Jin Yong

有別於新修版《天龍八部》在諸多情節上大幅度改寫、甚而重新提供另一種結局，這次修訂《笑傲江湖》，可算較多完整保留了二版的原貌，只在行文與橋段的漏洞上，細心雕琢、修弭補縫，堪稱最符合金迷期待的修訂版！ 雲南五毒教的「轉血大法」，就醫學觀點上是否可行？令狐沖背對著敵人，如何施展「獨孤九劍」？令狐沖和盈盈對修練《葵花寶典》須「自宮」一事，何以得了暫時性失憶症？思過崖石洞一役後，五嶽劍派又何去何從？……於此種種，作者巧筆一揮，新版中都有了合理的解決。 此外，作者仍不忘增添新意，於這部小說裡兩個最重要物件：〈笑傲江湖之曲〉和「吸星大法」，都有過千字的增寫。前者補述了〈廣陵散〉聶政刺韓王、聶姊收弟屍的緣由，大增此曲的「俠士之氣」；後者則透過任我行之口，對所謂邪功妖法提出質疑，點出「武功本身無所謂好壞，重要的是施用者的心態」這一武學哲理。 金庸曾在〈後記〉中，對令狐沖與盈盈的愛情下了註腳：「盈盈的愛情得到圓滿，令狐沖的自由卻又被鎖住了。」新修版中，金庸補寫了一段令狐沖的心境，而箇中意味，就待讀者自行體會了。

About the author

Louis Cha, GBM, OBE (born 6 February 1924), better known by his pen name Jin Yong (金庸, sometimes read and/or written as "Chin Yung"), is a modern Chinese-language novelist. Having co-founded the Hong Kong daily Ming Pao in 1959, he was the paper's first editor-in-chief.

Cha's fiction, which is of the wuxia ("martial arts and chivalry") genre, has a widespread following in Chinese-speaking areas, including mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and the United States. His 15 works written between 1955 and 1972 earned him a reputation as one of the finest wuxia writers ever. He is currently the best-selling Chinese author alive; over 100 million copies of his works have been sold worldwide (not including unknown number of bootleg copies).

Cha's works have been translated into English, French, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, Burmese, Malay and Indonesian. He has many fans abroad as well, owing to the numerous adaptations of his works into films, television series, comics and video games.

I'm kinda sad that Ren Woxing randomly died from old age and there wasn't any big final fight in the end, but it's nice that Chong and Yingying had their happy end :3
Very good book nonetheless, would recommend!!

看過這本書後，我認為這本書比我平時自己看的中文書的字深奧很多， 所以每當我遇到深奧的內容我都需要用詞典去解決 , 但書的內容非常有趣及非常豐富

本身令狐沖是注定要死，但因為任我行死了，所以他能和任盈盈一起繼續活下去，十分感人

相比前三卷，第四卷里刻画权力对人的侵蚀更加精彩，正邪两派人士都极为心狠手辣。哪怕是方证大师和冲虚道长想出的同归于尽之计，又要牺牲多少生命，他们又如何不是武林同道呢？
结尾令狐冲和盈盈得偿所愿，归隐山林，让人松了一口气。虽然削弱了前文对复杂人性的构建，但能读到仗义坦诚的人获得与之相配的平安结局，让我多了些对人性和社会的虚无缥缈的信心。

The book landed well. It took me to places where I wasn’t expecting, yet exceeded my understanding of the genre, or lack thereof.

This is my review of volume four- I would eventually like to review all four volumes individually. As a whole, the series gets five stars from me.

Volume four is kind of odd in that the main villain alluded to earlier in the story, Dongfang Bubai is already dead by the beginning of the volume, and the protagonists seem to lack a clear direction. Linghu Chong finally comes to terms with the fact that his father figure and master, Yue Buchun, is an ambitious power-hungry maniac and is left to carve out some sort of meaning. For this reason, volume four feels very different in tone: Linghu Chong is not the same wisecracking carefree guy, his jokes mainly serve to try to distract his traveling companions from whatever latest trauma they have experienced. Even the series' number one scumbag, Tian Boguang, shaves his head, becomes a monk, and is forced to change his ways and is no longer played for laughs. Ultimately, the only way the heroes find any semblance of happiness is to leave jianghu and lead a peaceful life, echoing the situation surrounding the hand-washing ceremony of volume one. Ultimately, Linghu Chong is able to pull this off, the many others who try to do so throughout the series are not so lucky.

Overall, volume four may be the weakest link of the series. We tie up loose ends with Yue Buqun and Lin Pinzhi, then there's a very long section revolving around "Mute Granny" that seems to serve little overall purpose aside from creating some space to develop Linghu Chong and Ren Yingying's relationship, which, to be fair, probably did need a few more pages to develop in order to be believable. Finally, we get a lengthy "happily ever after" sendoff for the main characters. Volume four reminds me of the scouring of the Shire (the ending of Tolkien's Return of the King), a coda where we see some payoff for all of the character development of the series and also get to tie up the remaining loose ends of the plot. But just like the scouring, volume four leaves with a sense of sadness that you can't go back to the way things used to be.

Still my all time favorite and best, 不過比起二版的收尾，三版結尾有點解釋的太多，令狐沖最後的領悟幾乎像金老的碎念，我還比較喜歡二版停在倆人牽手嬌羞無限，比較有餘韻跟想像發酵的空間。
