WX: Too Late to Know the Truth
Finally I have finished reading Liang’s first novel.Compared to Liang’s work, I have to admit that Cha’s work are more superior. His works include not only martial arts, but also history, geography, philosophy, psychology, military science and so on. What he writes is not only love, but also trust, loyalty, justice, patriotism, brotherhood, the deep friendship between fathers and sons, teachers and students, leaders and underlings, apprentice and apprentice…
Though Liang’s novel lacks these things, yet it is still worth reading. Not to mention his imagination about the volcano in the far sea and his precise descriptions about martial arts, at least he tells us an eternal truth: It is always too late to know the truth.
In this novel… When Miss Li is still alive, Mr. Jin dislikes her---Miss Li is evil and Mr. Jin loves Miss Gu, a good, pure, kind girl. Mr. Jin always wants to get rid of Miss Li but he finds that she is just like his shadow. Only when Miss Li dies at the end of the story does Mr. Jin know that actually the one he loves is not Miss Gu, it is Miss Li, because---
Miss Li is more like himself, or, she is just his own shadow…But it is too late to know the truth. When he buries Miss Li, the sunset lengthens his own shadow. Yes, his shadow is still there, long and lone, and the world is still very big, people many, but what is the point?!
Mr. Jin’s heart dies too. And it ends.
Mr. Jin and Miss Li

I would say that Gulong’s work is more “romantic”. What he writes is just love stories, a little skin-deep. Lol his fans must throw eggs to me now.
Cha’s work is more deep and profound. Those who do not like history or politics may prefer Gulong’s work or Liang’s work, not Cha’s work.
Anyway, I just begin to read Liang’s work. Can not tell too many opinions.
I haven't watched the whole teleplay. But I watched the end of this teleplay. How handsome Mr. Jin is!!
