he said Gwok Jing is too traditional and had a too perfect personality, and how he refused the marriage between YG and XLN which is against his perfectness. Ni Kuang said GJ is too perfect, and became a fake person,
while WXB is more straight foward and honest, tears a lot of fake masks and traditions. whcih makes him into a real person
while Kiu Feng's personality seems to be perfect too, why didn't Ni Kuang criticize him as a fake person??
maybe because his death at the end makes him a "true hero"??? If Kiu Feng didn't die at the end won't you think he's too FAKE to be a "true hero"??? or maybe his tragedy life creates his heroism???
but GJ actually sacrificed his life to protect Xiang Yang too, why did Ni Kuan still criticize him as a "fake person"
so is Kiu Feng a person with "perfect" heroism?
