Three characterizations in Lao She's novel Broken Soul Gun

1, a successor and lonely and persistent martial artist: sand dragon is a martial artist. He traveled the world by dart, he needs a martial arts. And "five tigers broken soul gun" is his magic weapon, this set of guns had given him the creation of "the gun sand dragon" name. But in the era of the wind blowing, this set of guns in the sand dragon a sound of "not pass" in the gradual "extinction".

Shazilong's cry of "not passing on" is both a lament for being eliminated by the times and a worry that there will be no one to follow in his footsteps. China's national art, it is in the generations in order to increase the glory. Sandy Long is also very sober, he is not self-satisfied and depressed, with a large group of disciples under him, although he himself does not recognize. But he was lonely and persistent in his approach to the transmission of martial arts.

2. A hero who was left behind by the times and fell into despondency and sadness:

Sha Long was a hero. Sandy Long practiced a set of "five tigers soul-breaking gun", "twenty years of kung fu, in the northwestern area, to him to create out: 'God gun sand dragon five words, did not meet the enemy".

His set of gun, as "broken soul" two words, is to make the enemy fear. But this once mighty, "short, thin, sharp, hard stick, two eyes as bright as the frosty night of the big star" hero, "now, he put meat on his body, the dart bureau has changed the inn".

"In the daytime, he did not talk much about martial arts and the past", because "this is the dart has no food, and the national art has not yet been advocated by revolutionaries and educators". It can be said that "his world has been blown away by the gale".

3. A dart master who sticks to himself for the dignity of life:

Sha Long is a dart master. It can be said that this identity is his most recognized. Because the dart is his career, but also his "five tigers soul-breaking gun" of martial arts, but also on behalf of his former glory, a symbol of the spirit of the wind. But in the great change of the times, Sandy Long was thrown away by the times. He had to change the dart to open an inn. Martial arts is not much to talk about.

The disciples asked for teaching moves, but also ignored. Martial arts celebrities boarded the door to learn the art, but also politely rebuffed. He said in his mouth is a sound of "not pass on", but in his heart echo is once the jianghu.

It can be said that, as a dart master, jianghu people sand dragon, that set of guns, that kind of martial arts, is a symbol of the dignity of his life. And in the advancement of the times, the traditional martial arts gradually "invalid" useless, which naturally means that the dignity of the kind of pointing is also slowly lost.

Sha Long has a clear understanding of the reality, the reality of both the winds of the times, but also the worry of no one else, so he tried to use the sound of "not passed on" to leave a little bit of dignity, not because of other people to the spirit of the gun on behalf of the spoiled.

Sun Laozi: Sun Laozi was obsessed with kung fu, and his love for the martial arts had reached the level of obsession. He is clearly a famous martial artist, as shown in his sell-outs and the performance he gave to Shazi Long.

His deep-seated personality is quite close to that of Shazi Long. He was persistent and tough, and traveled the rivers and lakes to learn traditional martial arts techniques. As a jianghu practitioner, he must have long heard of the long-rumored and mighty Soul Breaker Gun that has shaken the Northwest, but he must also know that Teacher Sha does not pass on the Soul Breaker Gun. But the martial arts fan's belief that he will not die until he reaches the Yellow River made him come to find Sha Long.

After meeting with Shazilong, he could see that Shazilong was shrewd, but his obsession with learning martial arts made him say directly, "I'm here to learn how to teach you how to use the spear". However, Sandy Long did not pick up the ballast, but let him drink tea and eat, Sun again emphasized that "I came to teach to teach marksmanship", Sandy Long's answer further let him down "kung fu early shelved" "has been put on the meat! "

But the answer of Sandy Long was further disappointing to him.

But this did not let the old man Sun give up, "not than the martial arts, give me that trip five tigers soul-breaking gun", and also will learn their own martial arts to show to Sandy Long, to see if enough to learn the art. "I do not shop, also can not use the money, I come to learn the art" "I practiced a trip to show you, see enough to learn the art is not enough", self-righteousness that their own kung fu is good.

After the demonstration, Sandy Long will teach the soul-breaking gun, with a bit of stubbornness and blind character traits, which is the result of a long time living in the world of their own martial arts produced.

Wang Sansheng:

Wang Sansheng claimed to be Shazilong's disciple, and went around flaunting his teacher's prowess in order to elevate himself. In the face of the world's changing circumstances, he seemed to be blissfully unaware of it, and as usual, he continued to earn money by selling his art and practicing martial arts to show off his face.

He, like the other disciples, relies on a little kung fu to make ends meet and sells his strength to the temple fair every day. And he loves to brag about himself.

Shazilong never admitted that he had disciples, because those who claimed to be his disciples never sold their martial arts at the temple fair, and regarded their martial arts as only a kind of money-making skill, and won the people's scarce and thin a few coins with their kung fu, which were not enough for them to make a living.
