Chen Jialuo

Chen Jialuo

Chen Jialuo is the protagonist in Jin Yong's martial arts novel the book of love and hatred. He also appeared in the biography of flying fox. He is the chief helmsman of the Red Flower Association, the son of Chen Shishui, the Minister of the Qing Dynasty, and the brother of Emperor Qianlong. He was handsome in appearance, elegant in speech, modest and polite, but in the end, because he believed his brother Qianlong by mistake, the great cause of anti Qing Dynasty came to nothing.

Character experience

Many people have said that Chen Jialuo is a failure, but everyone has a stage dream to be a person like Chen Jialuo, who is noble and civilian, versatile, elegant, affectionate and righteous, has lofty ideals, and is willing to sacrifice personal happiness for the country and the nation. If Chen Jialuo is a failure, it just shows how unrealistic this dream is. Chen Jialuo's biggest failure is political failure. No matter how innocent he is in his personal conduct, as the commander-in-chief of the red flower club, he is also a complete failure. At the beginning of the story, the story tells how the leaders of the Red Flower Club met Chen Jialuo as their commander-in-chief with the most solemn ceremony of "taking the dragon's head from thousands of miles". The only reason why they decided to let a man in his twenties be their commander-in-chief was that the last commander-in-chief said that this man was the key to the great cause of recovering the Han people. However, Chen Jialuo did not complete his mission. The result of his alliance with the emperor was a total defeat. He sacrificed the lives of many heroes in vain. In the end, all of them retired to Xinjiang.

Chen Jialuo's failure is certainly related to his time and mission, but his naivety is also an important factor. He attaches too much importance to personal feelings and ignores objective factors, because he has rich feelings and does not understand politics at all, which may be completely different. Such a person who lacks experience and wisdom is doomed to be a failed political figure.

As a leader, Chen Jialuo is actually the most passive person. He didn't want to be the commander in chief. He thought it was not his own personality, but others insisted. He accepted it and said that he had no ambition. I'm afraid he cheated himself. Shen Youwu thought that Chen Jialuo was suitable to be the commander in chief, because he knew that the emperor was Chen Jialuo's brother. Chen Jialuo could use his Brotherhood to impress the emperor and ask him to restore his Han clothes Crown. There are many doubts about the feasibility of this plan, but Chen Jialuo didn't consider the problem. His adoptive father asked him to do it, and everyone asked him to do it. It's a matter of national integrity, so he did it. After he took over the task, he tried to show his leadership style in front of others, but when he was alone, what he most cared about was his personal gratitude and resentment, right and wrong. The weakness of Chen Jialuo's political theory is that he does not have self-knowledge, aims high, only cares about personal morality, and does not measure the public effect.

Chen Jialuo and Emperor Qianlong met several times, each time closely linked to people's hearts. The first time was when Chen Jialuo was touring the mountains by the West Lake. He met Qianlong playing the piano in the mountains. They didn't know who they were, but they felt very close and far away. The second time was to spy on the Yamen at night. Qianlong was examining Wen Tailai at night. Chen Jialuo was surprised to see that the person who used to play the piano in the daytime was the Emperor today. Qianlong's identity has been revealed. The third meeting was the Hongmen banquet on the West Lake boat. On the surface, it was polite and polite, but on the surface, it was tight with weapons and knives. On the one hand, it was escorted by bodyguards, on the other hand, it was accompanied by heroes. The words were tit for tat, and the martial arts competition was a fierce battle. The situation was extremely dangerous. The two people who were very close to each other were extremely antagonistic, but they were not close to each other, which strengthened the attraction between them. The fourth time is catharsis. Chen Jialuo goes back to Haining's hometown to pay homage to his parents, weeping in front of the grave, but Qianlong is already weeping. At first sight, they are excited and hold hands with each other.

Qianlong knew that Chen Jialuo was Chen Shishou's son, that is, his own brother, but Chen Jialuo did not know that Qianlong was his brother. They joined hands to listen to the tide by the Qiantang River. Chen Jialuo told Qianlong of his missing for his mother. This is the closest time for them. These four meetings, especially the last one, were of great significance to Chen Jialuo, because this meeting, which revealed his feelings, laid a foundation in his heart for the emperor to treat him well. It was the idea that he was very close to people. His mistake was to let this personal feeling develop into trusting Emperor Qianlong unconsciously.

So, when we met for the fifth time, Qianlong was imprisoned in Liuhe tower by the heroes of Honghua club, and Chen Jialuo was full of confidence. At this time, Chen Jialuo knew Qianlong's life experience and his task was to persuade Qianlong to form an alliance with the red flower society and restore the Han nationality. Qianlong had no choice but to agree. However, because of his overconfidence, Chen Jialuo thought that he really stood on the side of the red flower society and finally lost.

From personal feelings to trust, from trusting people to self-confidence, Chen Jialuo's mistakes are so many and serious that they can't be repeated. He doesn't understand that apart from cherishing him, Qianlong cherished his own comfortable status, which was not only affected by his ambition of founding a country and a wise monarch, but also by the threat of the Empress Dowager. People are selfish and cowardly. They are dominated by environment and habits. The emperor is also a person. If Chen Jialuo is not so confident, or he will take these factors into account, after all, he is a smart man, but he is too confident and too trusting of people who have feelings for him, he is far from mature.

Character analysis

Men always have male chauvinism, especially in feudal society and modern times. Of course, it doesn't seem to be a shortcoming.

Huo Qingtong is too perfect, too capable, let Chen Jialuo will have pressure, so he will turn to like simple and docile Cassie.

He was basically a scholar in the south of the Yangtze River. He didn't have that kind of generous and heroic mind. Of course, he couldn't accept such a strange woman back to Xinjiang.

There is also a paragraph in the original book, which may be explained by Mr. Jin: "who is the one I really love in my heart?" This idea has been lingering in my mind all these days, suddenly thinking: "so who really loves me? If I die, Cassie will not live, but Huo Qingtong will. However, it doesn't mean that Kathleen loves me more. If Huo Qingtong and I get well, Kathleen will die of grief. She is so pure and kind, can I not cherish her? "

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel sad and think: "we have made it clear to each other that she loves me and I love her. For Huo Qingtong, I never said that. Huo Qingtong is so capable, I respect her, even a little afraid of her Whatever she wants me to do, I will do it. What about Cassie? What about Cassie Even if she wants me to die, I will die happily for her So I don't love Huo Qingtong? Alas, I don't understand that she is so gentle and intelligent, and she is so kind to me

Love is deep, love is heavy. She vomited blood and fell ill. She almost lost her life. Isn't it all for me? " One is respectable, the other is amiable and lovely. It's really hard to distinguish between the important and the minor. " He also thought, "I don't know how many complicated and arduous things there will be to recover Hanye in the future. She has a better strategy than Qige. If she can help her, she will benefit a lot Well, is it true that I don't like her being too capable in my heart? " Think of here, hale and heartbroken, gently said: "Chen Jialuo, Chen Jialuo, your mind is so small?" More than half an hour later, the moonlight moved slowly to Princess Xiangxiang, and he said in his heart, "with Cassie, I only have joy, joy, joy..."

Character archetype

According to historical records, Chen Jialuo was a martial artist of the Qing Dynasty. He was born in Jiangning (now Haining, Zhejiang Province). He was famous for his martial arts when he was young. During the reign of Kangxi, he was a guest in the house of the capital's dignitaries and was famous for his martial arts. During the reign of Yongzheng, Li Wei, the governor of Zhejiang Province, suppressed Gu Yunqing. He was implicated in the anti Qing case, but he was not executed. During the reign of Qianlong, he was in his 80s and finally came home.

Character evaluation

As soon as Chen Jialuo appeared in the book, he showed us the real scholar image. The word "Shu Jian" was perfectly interpreted in him.

However, it was Chen Jialuo's half push as the commander-in-chief of the red flower club that was not in harmony with the grand atmosphere of taking over the dragon's head.

This implies Chen Jialuo's weakness, that is, the scholar's weakness: the lack of great hero's momentum of swallowing heaven and spitting earth.

The scholar's momentum is not enough to bear the great mission of the Red Flower Association in fighting against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Jialuo defeated Zhou Zhongying with a set of Baihua wrong fists. This was the first time that he showed his extraordinary ability in both calligraphy and sword. He was polite and disciplined, not impatient, and his skills were astonishing.

Chen Jialuo and Huo Qingtong fell in love at first sight. When Chen Jialuo met Huo Qingtong for the first time, he was astonished by heaven and human beings, and his love for Huo Qingtong began.

But the root of love has not sprouted yet, but it has died.

Because in the twinkling of an eye, Chen Jialuo saw that Huo Qingtong and Li Yuanzhi, who was dressed as a woman and a man, were extremely close. His self-esteem was hurt, and his heart was not good.

Chen Jialuo's weakness has been exposed for a long time.

He reluctantly took on the great responsibility of the helmsman of the red flower club. He also tried his best to play his own role, playing a brave and resourceful leader in front of others, but the weak side of the scholar in his heart did not disappear. He's not as confident or as easy as he seems.

He is vulnerable and vulnerable, and he is not generous enough, at least not as generous as a leader who does great things. Originally, in order to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, he should broaden his talents and accept mu Zhuolun's intention to leave his daughter to help him. However, for personal reasons that are hard to tell, Chen Jialuo agreed to change his mind and refused to join Huo Qingtong.

Chen Jialuo's later tragedy is not accidental, character is fate, all of which has long been doomed.
