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.

“Lúc còn thanh thiếu, lão phu cũng có ý nghĩ đó, cho rằng có rất nhiều việc không thể không làm. Nhưng sau này, dần dần lão phu thể hội sự tình, trên đời không có việc gì mà con người bắt buộc phải làm, không thể không làm... Chỉ cần ngươi nhẫn nại trong lúc đó thôi. Rồi ngươi thấy ngay việc không thể không làm đó, nó không còn giá trị đáng cho ngươi làm nữa.”

Đọc đoạn đầu cảm thấy rất thú vị, đọc tiếp cảm thấy rất nguy hiểm, đọc tiếp nữa cảm thấy hơi chán, nhưng đọc đến gần cuối thì lại thấy hay ._.

Mắc cười nhất là đọc trên kindle nên tình cờ ngó xuống thấy mình đọc hoài đọc hoài đọc hoài mà nó chỉ dừng ở 56% 8-x Có cảm tưởng nó dài tới vô tận... dài gì mà dài dữ vậyyyy???? Đọc riết không chịu hết hàààà!!!!
Hồi sau sau sau sau... mới phát hiện mình đọc nó trong cái ebook Cổ Long Collection, hèn chi nó mãi mãi dừng lại ở mốc 56% =)). Bịnh quãããã!!!

Pi ét: Vì chị Sâm bảo thích anh Phó Hồng Tuyết nên đã đọc đó :P. Lúc đọc đã hết sức thắc mắc sao mãi mà mình chưa thích anh í vậy nhỉ o.o. Và cuối cùng đã bể tim vì anh í đùng một cái khi nào không hay. Hehe.

似乎有点渐入佳境的感觉,比上一本多情剑客无情剑的感觉好很多。不过之前一心以为小李飞刀四部曲是全部围绕小李飞刀的四个故事,但古龙岂是落入俗套的人,主角都是上来就是大师、大神,然后所有的剧情都基于这个开展,聚焦在短短的几天(多情剑客无情剑)或者几个月(边城浪子),上一部的主人公,这一部已经成了传奇,甚至这一本出现了阿飞和荆无命都没有看见李寻欢的影子。
古龙对于主人公的名字不知道是不是都是一脉相承,寻欢一心是愁,叶开心心底可一点也不开心,但应该都没有傅红雪心累,报仇了近20年,一路也杀戮无数,甚至还痛苦的爱上了仇敌的女人,到头来却发现自己是路边捡的。。
一开始还以为是个武侠版的侦探故事,但其实并非如此,只是万马堂的凶手好像也不了了之,难道就是丁家老三么?
p.s 古龙也确实是直男癌典范啊,从傅红雪对于翠浓就能看出来,呼之即来挥之即去,对于女性只有物化没有尊重,不太认为这是对于傅红雪性格塑造所采取的文学处理。。而其他女性,也是万花丛中过,但一旦被哪怕一位男性所伤,就会痛不欲生,彻底成为附庸。
再p.s:叶开和丁灵玲领走的马空群和三姑的孩子,后来不知道会成长到什么模样

Phần đầu ở biên cảnh thì hay, phần sau bắt đầu bậy.

Thêm nữa là nhân vật thích ăn nói vòng vo tạo cảm giác nguy hiểm, nhưng tới khi có việc lại bị dắt mũi như trẻ con.

The premise of this novel is a revenge tale. The protagonist, Fu Hongxue, was raised to master the use of a black sabre, and the purpose of it is to one day search out the remaining survivors who murdered his father and his father's family members 20 years before. Suffice it to say that this tale of revenge and the use of the black sabre, common knight-errant novel tropes, are depicted very differently from other similar stories.

The first time I read this book was back in 2016, but at the time, my Chinese reading comprehension level was not as advanced as it is now. Previously, what mainly captivated me was the plot, characters and ideas. This time around, I am able to appreciate the style of writing so much more.

I would liken Gu Long to Ernest Hemingway in the way he uses dialogue. I would also compare him to William Faulkner in the way he is able to describe the setting and use it to tell the story of the characters who are situated in that setting.

There is too much to say about this book, but I feel that it's best to say simply that once I've read Gu Long, I find it very hard to go back to reading Jin Yong. The styles are so different, and this style just affects me on a much deeper emotional level because of its brevity. The language is so compact, yet so poetic and so meaningful. Sometimes, less is more.

比起更早前閱讀的《天涯・明月・刀》,此書沒有以新詩的寫法打開故事,因故閱讀上較為順暢,但也少了驚喜感和節奏感。我比較喜歡前者,因其更能呈現復仇世界的黑暗和人物關係的糾結。但此書好在更易令人明白事情的來龍去脈,故事的主旨—仇恨的循環應該終結—更清楚地展現在讀者眼前。但美中不足的是馬春花在故事中的角色太小,她作為一名情緒強烈、敢作敢為的女主角,理應在故事中發揮更大作用,然而縱觀全局她只有襯托傳紅雪心智之堅強一用,令人惋惜。

看完之后除了“狗血”二字没有其他的了,傅红雪真的苦逼hhhhhhh,忙活了一本书然后发现其实本来没他啥事,叶开嘴上说着原谅却又一次次纵容傅红雪去复仇,相当腹黑了,还不如不说呢……其实这也可以理解成叶开的成长,此书副标题《边城浪子》,指的自然是叶开,这本书讲的也许不是傅的复仇,而是叶开在整个故事中一路的心里变化。叶开此生最大的幸事就是遇见了李寻欢,这个教会他宽恕的男人,然而他在出师时虽已知宽恕,却不知如何宽恕,最后能通过傅看清宽恕二字的确是再好不过的事,可是傅同学也的确是真炮灰了。(而且不造马芳龄最后去哪了……

เนื้อหาภาคต่อของซีรีย์ฤทธิ์มีดสั้น อบอวลไปด้วยเรื่องราวของบุญคุณความแค้น คุณธรรมน้ำมิตรและบทพูดที่บาดลึกตลอดเล่ม ในเรื่องแอบแฝงปริศนาที่เหมือนเป็นเงาตามติดอยู่เบื้องหลัง ไม่สามารถคาดเดาพฤติการณ์ของตัวละครสองตัวในเรื่องอย่างเอีํ๊ยบไคและโป้วอังเสาะได้โดยง่าย ทั้งสองดั่งเป็นด้านตรงกันข้ามของกันและกัน แต่กลับมีสิ่งที่เชื่อมโยงกันคือสิ่งที่อยู่เบื้องหลังภายในใจ โก้วเล้งโยนเราเข้าไปในเรื่องพาเราค่อยๆรู้จักตัวละคร ค่อยๆคลายปมปริศนาทีละน้อย ถึงแม้ตอนจบจะค่อนข้างเร่งรีบและไม่สมเหตุสมผลเสียเท่าไหร่ สมควรหักคะแนน แต่ว่าความสนุก ณ ขณะที่อ่านของผมนั้นยังคงติดตรึง ห้าคะแนนมาจากความชอบของผมโดยดุษณี

ภาคต่อของฤทธิ์มีดสั้น มีตัวละครจากภาคแรกที่โตขึ้นโผล่มานิดหน่อย สืบสวนสอบสวนแบบคาดเดาไม่ได้ว่าใครเป็นคนร้ายตามเคย เพราะคนร้ายไม่ใช่คนที่โผล่มาแต่แรก แค่พูดถึงลอยๆ ใครจะนึกว่าเป็นบอสลับ แต่เรื่องนี้มีนางเอกชัดเจนมาก
