Why do great men do it for the country and the people?

There is a very famous sentence in Jin Yong's martial arts novels that a chivalrous man should serve the country and the people, which embodies the true chivalrous spirit. The most important thing for a real soldier is not how high his martial arts are, how powerful he is, and how superior his IQ is. The most important thing is to be narrow-minded, which is what Mr. Jin Yong said about serving the country and serving the people.

This sentence is vividly reflected in many characters in Jin Yong's novels, such as Guo Jing's father Guo Xiaotian and Yang Kang's father Yang Tiexin. In fact, they are all ordinary villagers in Niujia Village. They have no great power or superb martial arts, but only a chivalrous heart for the people and the country. They are honest and kind and willing to do anything for their friends and brothers. Although he is an ordinary person, he has feelings of home and country.

On the contrary, people like Ouyang Feng, the West Poison, or Qiu, the leader of Tiezhang Gang, have peerless martial arts, but they always only care about their own interests, and even can kill and set fires for their own interests. In Jin Yong's eyes, such people are not even people, let alone heroes.

There are still some people in Jin Yong's works. Although they are not like Ouyang Feng and Qiu, they only have small Wulin in their eyes, not the whole country and people.

For example, the so-called noble and decent Emei Sect keeps saying that it will help the world and save the people. In fact, it has never done anything that really benefits the country and the people. From beginning to end, it just wants to fight for power and profit. Although such people are not bad people, they are not heroes.

Generally speaking, Mr. Jin Yong's concept of hero is very broad. As long as he has a sense of justice and courage, everyone can be a hero, and everyone is a hero.
