Comparison on the two dong fang bu bai

now you're probably all like “ew, omigawd why would anyone prefer the old version over the new version.” well it’s because the new version is shallow and fake. our genius producer yu zheng (note the sarcasm) said that his version was the most faithful version to the novel, then he goes on and changes not only the gender of one of the most important character, he adds a totally unnecessary character, and he changes the entire meaning of the novel. The original novel was about the dangers of lust for power. Three men give up their ability to reproduce so that they can be able to learn the most powerful skill in Wulin. Since castrating themselves makes them no longer men, in ancient times, it makes them worse than dogs. Even though they master the most powerful skill in Wulin, they lose what is most dear to them and at the end they lose their lives as well. Xiao ao jiang hu is one of jin yong’s more macabre books because it deals with one’s sexual identity as well as one’s priorities. Since mainland china has always been more conservative on the topics of same gender relationships, Xiao ao jiang hu, a novel written in the 60- 70’s is a book ahead of its time.

When xiao ao jiang hu 2013 was announced I was actually pretty excited since Wallace Huo would be playing the role of ling hu chong. I had originally hoped that they’ll consider Hu Ge for the role since I felt that Hu Ge hasn’t had a humorous role in a long time and that he had once said in an interview that his favorite wuxia character was ling hu chong and that he would like to have a role as lhc. what ruined the series in terms of actors was Chen Qiao En, although she’s a very good actress I felt that she wasn’t able to portray the role of a feminine male since she’s always played roles of more innocent females.

下三濫

xià sān làn

“Ha, so you dirty tricksters were all hiding. You almost gave me a heart attack! Where’s big apprentice brother?” the young girl grinned. (ch. 2)

Literal phrase is “the three low excesses (of society)”, referring to people like beggars & thieves & prostitutes based on ancient orders of social structure. The meaning itself is no longer used literally; instead it just generally means scumbags.

My microphone is so annoying. TAT Sorry about the horrible quality of the audio... On the bright side, I do believe I have answered some of your questions here.

My first audio commentary can be found here.

瓦罐不離井上破，將軍難免陣上亡

wǎ guàn bù lí jǐng shàng pò, jiāng jūn nán miǎn zhèn shàng wáng

“Clay jars always break by the well; generals always die in battles” (ch. 2)

not an idiom, but a damn cool phrase: what you do will define what destroys you

金盆洗手

“Master Liu’s Gold Basin Hand Washing ceremony” (ch. 2)

jīn pén xǐ shǒu

“to wash your hands in a gold basin” refers to when people in shady business, after striking it rich, go legit (the implication is that they’re retiring into a life of luxury).

Love how this resonates with “to wash your hands of” bad business.
