'i love you, you idiot' o.0
FEEL THE LOVE <3
I think their contrasting personalities (and intelligence) made them an excellent pair.. So yeah..
Yes, dispite their large differences, I believe they fit each other rather well as a couple.

I thought it was French for a while...Originally Posted by Temujin
Nope, it's Hokkienese, all wuxia novels (and subtitles of TVB 80s series) published in Indonesia had the character names translated into hokkienese romanization, the same thing with name of places, cities, and martial arts terms.Originally Posted by Ken Cheng
Further examples :
Yo Ko - Yang Guo
Siaw Long Lie - Xiao Long Nu
Oey Yuk Su - Huang Yaoshi

Hmmm. Maybe you can help us figure out what's going on here, then.
Honestly, I have never heard of Ao Bao Lu and Xong Xit Long, not as Hokkienese names of JY charactersOriginally Posted by Ken Cheng
It does sound like he was talking about Ouyang Feng and Hong QiGong. Notice the similarities but it's definitely NOT Hokkienese, not the romanization that I know, since there's no such thing as 'x' in 'xong' or 'x' in 'xit' i think only pinyin use 'x' in the romanization, so maybe it's some other language or dialect
Ouyang Feng is Ouwyang Hong in Hokkienese
Hong QiGong is An Citkong in Hokkienese.

i think they fit perfectly well together...
lol xxx...

This should help with name... but it's only for the LoCH/RoCH/HSDS. And if I could put them in colums I would, but for now you'll have to count down the names by number.

Although I like Guo Jing very much, I think he was NOT deserved Huang Rong.
With her incredible beauty and intelligence, if she was born in a more suitable time, she would have became the wife of a 1 shang shu (minister of a ministry in the feudal China), 1 zhang yuan, or even became a queen.
Poor Huang Rong, she did not have much choices. In LOCH, all the men who were around her age were very mediocre.
Guo Jing was just the BEST choice among them, NOT the BEST for Huang Rong.
Not only was Guo Jing not handsome and intelligent, he also did not love Huang Rong as she loved him.
In LOCH, he began to find Huang Rong only after Hua Zheng caused his mom's death, and when Huang Rong advised him to seclude from Jiang hu to live a peaceful life in Peach Blossom Island, he insisted on protecting the Northern Song kingdom.
In ROCH, I really felt disappointed with Guo Jing at the times when he tried to chop off Guo Fu's arm, refused to leave Xiang Yang to find Guo Xiang, regarless of Huang Rong's begs. And when he placed the COUNTRY ABOVE Huang Rong, I really got angry. What place did Huang Rong have in his heart? Just the second.
Honestly, though I hate Yang Guo to the bone, I must admit that he was a PERFECT boyfriend of all time. To him, nothing can compare to his lover.

It's not a matter of "Who deserved whom?" It's a matter of "Did they enjoy being together?" The answer is unequivocably "yes."Originally Posted by RongYingMin
But did she want it? Like few other female characters in wuxia fiction, Wong Yung was truly a self-made woman: she was what she wanted to be. Her life wasn't manipulated by the men she was close to (i.e. her father, her teacher, and her husband); she voluntarily decided that she wanted to share in their goals.Originally Posted by RongYingMin
I'll bet you that even during the 13th Century, there were several hundred million people living in China, approximately half of which were men. Now Wong Yung couldn't have met most of them (how many of us meet several hundred million people in a lifetime?), but from among those whom she did meet, she *chose* Gwok Jing to be the one. Why him? Because she had been looking for someone just like him.Originally Posted by RongYingMin
Well, "Mom/Dad," what kind of man do you think is best for Wong Yung? Remember, she CHOSE Gwok Jing. East Heretic Wong Yerk See threatened to set her up with some guy of his choosing. Had her father been the one to make the choice, he would likely have picked some guy who was handsome, powerful, and intelligent...you know, a Yeung Hong/Yeung Gor type. But Wong Yung wasn't interested in those types. If she were, she could have just married Au Yeung Hak.Originally Posted by RongYingMin
I didn't know Wong Yung was the superficial type.Originally Posted by RongYingMin
Wong Yung and a comparably intelligent man would not have made for a happy couple. They'd be too suspicious of each other: See Central Divinity Wong Chung Yeung and Ancient Tomb Sect Founder Lam Chiu Ying.Originally Posted by RongYingMin
I call B.S. on that. To young Gwok Jing, nothing was more important than fidelity to his teachers, but he defied them for the first and only time in his life when he chose to go with Wong Yung rather than obey their orders for him to stop associating with that "little witch girl." He even went back on his word of commitment to Princess Hua Jeng...an extraordinary departure from character for the normally steadfast Gwok Jing. He would not have done it had he not treasured Wong Yung.Originally Posted by RongYingMin
Gwok Jing thought Wong Yung was *dead* at the time, and he swore never to marry if Wong Yung were dead.Originally Posted by RongYingMin
It's *Southern* Sung, and I wouldn't have much respect for a man, much less one known and celebrated for being a hero, who lets thousands if not millions die just for his personal romance. There are more important priorities in the world than cuddling up with your snookum...especially if one has the power to make a difference.Originally Posted by RongYingMin
"With great power comes great responsibility..." Uncle Ben Parker.
But she deserved it, didn't she? I dislike Yeung Gor and I actually feel kind of sorry for Gwok Fu, but she did deserve to be punished. Gwok Jing wasn't wrong for the impulse to cut her arm off; if he is to be criticized in this matter, he should be criticized for not ultimately following through with it.Originally Posted by RongYingMin
Yeah, because thousands or even millions of people, many of whom also love each other very much, aren't as important as ONE woman.Originally Posted by RongYingMin
Which is one of the main reasons I can't stand him.Originally Posted by RongYingMin

I believe them to be a perfect match. There's been a theory floating around stating that a person is made with empty holes and these voids are filled when you find your true love. Gwok Jing and Wong Yung fills each other's voids perfectly. What one doesn't have the other does.
I believe Wong Yung was someone who was insecure and what better person to find for security than Gwok Jing. Someone who will endlessly love Wong Yung, stay truthful and honest, never change and by the end of LOCH, a pretty good fighter for security purposes literally.
It's a matter of both. Would they deserve each other if they didn't enjoy being together?Originally Posted by Ken Cheng
Actually, she didn't really want to be H7G's successor.Originally Posted by Ken Cheng
She'd been looking for someone who'd give the Red Blood Horse to her, because she knew she'd fall for someone who wouldn't turn down her request when he was supposed to.Originally Posted by Ken Cheng
GJ was the best there is among all the guys including the "handsome, powerful, and intelligent" ones like Yang Kang and Ouyang Ke. But he could have done better for her, which he didn't.Originally Posted by Ken Cheng
It's human nature to be superficial and materialistic sometimes, and HR showed very clearly that she was capable of that. (Not that this has anything to do with why HR chose GJ though.)Originally Posted by Ken Cheng
So that means opposites complement each other, then. And so Mohandas Ghandi should have married Wu Zetian while Martin Luther King should have married Cleopatra. And oh yes, Mother Teresa should have married Hitler while Zhuge Liang should have 'brokebacked' with Liu Shan.Originally Posted by Ken Cheng
But that's still not enough. I repeat that he could've done better.Originally Posted by Ken Cheng
Again I say that GJ could have done better.Originally Posted by Ken Cheng
Glad you remember that. Don't forget, you're the Super Moderator®...Originally Posted by Ken Cheng
RYM could also have meant that she's disappointed that GJ didn't/couldn't do it, is it not? (Though I doubt so.)Originally Posted by Ken Cheng
Men and women are equal, right? So one man's life is not worth sacrificing millions, right? So if GWM had captured 100 ordinary women as well as GJ, and tell you that you can only save either but not both, who do you save? On one hand you have 100 hapless women (who can't help protect XY anyway) and on the other you have GJ who's just worth one man's life. Who do you save? Come on, you can only choose one, who do you save?Originally Posted by Ken Cheng

What are you asking here? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the point I made.Originally Posted by IcyFox
No, but she had the right to say no and chose not to. Of her own free will, Wong Yung decided that she wanted to fulfill her teacher's wishes, even if she didn't originally have any aspirations to be the Beggar's Union Chief.Originally Posted by IcyFox
I'd say she found her man.Originally Posted by IcyFox
Like how? Let's hear some reasonable examples.Originally Posted by IcyFox
Nothing whatsoever, so this point is moot.Originally Posted by IcyFox
Using the most extreme and outlandish possible examples doesn't really help your counterargument. Wong Yung was looking for a partner she could trust, which pretty much precluded the possibility of hooking up with a man as crafty as she was. That wasn't what she was in the market for. For reasons that only Wong Yung herself truly understood, she wasn't impressed with characters such as Yeung Hong or Au Yeung Hak, but became attached to Gwok Jing.Originally Posted by IcyFox
And I say you still need to provide a concrete, reasonable example.Originally Posted by IcyFox
Example?Originally Posted by IcyFox
This again. What does my being Moderator have to do with this topic?Originally Posted by IcyFox
Rong didn't say that.Originally Posted by IcyFox
You'd save the women. That's what Gwok Jing would order his subordinates to do. He was prepared to lose his life for the people of Seung Yeung and beyond and ultimately, that's what he did. Strategically, it'd be a bit unwise because the defenders would be losing their biggest stalwart (which would really be regrettable down the line), but it's also what Gwok Jing would likely decide to do because in his order of priorities, saving lives always came first.Originally Posted by IcyFox
Whatever it took, Gwok Jing would not let those women die, and neither would his subordinates if they respected his wishes (but they might not). A pragmatist would save Gwok Jing in anticipation of future struggles, but Gwok Jing was always more idealist than pragmatist; most wuxia heroes are.Originally Posted by IcyFox

Yes, I believe GJ is the most suitable husband for HR. HR fell in love with GJ because GJ is a guy she can trust; She was a dirty beggar when they met but GJ treated her with kindness and friendship. GJ on the other hand felt HR's presence is something he is very comfortable with; Later he found out that what he feels for HR is something much more special. They are a very good match for each other. The only thing wrong about their union is their 2 useless offsprings except the lovable GX.
