MooMoo Cows Can Fly.
He did. (Lucky bastard!)
It was briefly mentioned in the novel that he did marry all 3 of them.
春花秋月几时了,
往事知多少?
小楼昨夜又东风,
故国不堪回首明月中.
雕栏玉砌应犹在,
只是朱颜改.
问君能有几多愁,
恰似一江春水向东流.
--南唐后主,李煜.
Those were not really his sisters more of distant cousins.
Did he marry them all? I can't remember that part. Would he marry them Wang YuYen was not happy when MuRong Fu went to XiXia to to try out for "FuMa."
So huge, so hopeless, to conceive
As these that twice befell
Parting is all we know of heaven
And all we need of hell.
Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)
If Deun Yu lived in modern times, he'd be a prime candidate for some *serious* psychotherapy. Wouldn't you crack if every person you fell in love with turned out to be your illegitimate half-sibling due to your father's extra-marital affairs? AND, to top it all off, after you've had your wedding ruined by this revelation, you THEN find out that your father wasn't your father at all, so all those lovers you had *were* legit!
It's amazing that it wasn't Deun Yu (instead of Mo Yung F*uk) who went mad in DEMIGODS & SEMIDEVILS. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

you mean Murong Fu, not Duan Yu who got mad in DSGD.
But seriously DY struck me as someone who is in a one-person relationship all the time with a don't care attitude/

Fixed it. I can see how that last statement was confusing. Thank goodness for the Edit function! <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">
Which version has DY marrying all the girls??
I think I read the one DY only ending up with WYY.
Please email me with questions. Do not use PM here.
I believe it was the original version that had Duan Yu marrying all of his "sisters." However in the revised version, Jin Yong chose for Duan Yu only marrying Wang Yu Yan. The original is really much better since lots of people (like me) feel REALLY sorry for Mu Wan Qing and Zhong Ling.
Too bad Mr. Jin Yong stated that the endings for his 3rd edition of novels wouldn't change... I was hoping he would make Duan Yu marry all three of them again. <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">

If he did, then I wouldn't despise him so much. <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">
No longer walking amongst the living...
I don't think he should marry all 3 of them because let's face it, he's nuts all over WYY. He doesn't even notice his parents, uncle, or brothers when she's around. It would be worse if he marries all 3 of them to only put his mind to one and ignore (probably unintentional) the other 2. <IMG SRC="smilies/bawling.gif" border="0">

He's crazy for WYY now, but I doubt he would stay that way forever. The tvb boxset called Duan Yu "more romantic than his father."
忽见柳荫下两个小孩子在哀哀痛哭,瞧模样正是武敦儒、武修文兄弟。郭芙大声叫道:「喂,你们在干甚麽?」武 修文回头见是郭芙,哭道:「我们在哭,你不见麽?」
Well.. about DY and his love to WYY.
I think he could love Mu WanQing and Zhong Ling in different way...
Maybe I am wrong who knows what DY think...that rascal..
Please email me with questions. Do not use PM here.
Let's face it, DY is just a pig drooling over a pretty face. GJ and WY, YG and XLN, ZWJ and ZM, LWC and RYY all formed their bonds through many hardships, if you will, yet DY drooled over WYY the first time he saw her because she's probably the prettiest girl he ever met. Then he basically let his stalker instinct took over. He's really no better than WXB. And thank god he didn't get to marry all 3.
It means you got eyes like apostrophes, you dress white, talk black, and drive Jew. So how am I supposed to know what kind of zipperhead dog-munching dink you are if you don't?
Yup.. Duan Yu loves Wang Yu Yan's looks. I bet if Mu Wan Qing or Zhong Ling looked the same as WYY, Duan Yu would definitely be crazyyy for them. <IMG SRC="smilies/tongue.gif" border="0">

Well, so did DY and WYY. If anything, DY went through much more hardships because WYY never loved him. To me, DY simply came off as a bit pathetic and quite shallow. But there is something romantic about the way he'd do anything for WYY. He puts her above friendship, family and country combined. That's quite a devotion.
that is why I don't like him. As a woman, I don't find that as romantic..maybe it is just me. I would definitly choose Ling Ho Chung over Dan yu with any hesitation.

Yahh me too. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> All the heroes in Jin Yong stories have had quite some romance in their lives. Duan Yu and Xui Zhu, I think, are the only exceptions. Duan Yu and Wang Yu Yan are just plain boring... and Xui Zhu's story with the XiXia Princess is really messed up. <IMG SRC="smilies/tongue.gif" border="0">

What you call hardship, I call stalking. I really wish that's how the world works. If you stalk a girl long enough, you eventually get her.
Anyway, my point was, DY loved WYY for her looks. And doesn't matter what else you factored in, that's very shallow and pathetic. I know all the other female characters are world class beauties, but at least GJ, YG, ZWJ and LWC didn't chase their perspective partners because of their looks.

Guo Jing, Yang Guo, and LingHu Chong I agree. But Zhang Wu Ji.. ehh can't be totally sure about him. <IMG SRC="smilies/tearlaugh.gif" border="0"> It was obvious that Zhao Ming was much more prettier than Zhou Zhiruo. I would think that if Zhao Ming was butt ugly, Zhang Wu Ji definitely would've picked Zhou Zhiruo. <IMG SRC="smilies/tongue.gif" border="0">
