"State of Divinity" 金庸的武俠小說- 笑傲江湖

小說男主角令狐衝出身五嶽劍派之一的華山派,師父為「君子劍」岳不群。 他雖暗戀小師妹岳靈珊,岳靈珊卻愛上身負家族大仇的林平之。 其時少林、武當、五嶽劍派等「名門正派」與「魔教」日月神教之間的鬥爭正炙,門戶之別極嚴。令狐衝行走江湖,結識田伯光、桃谷六仙、不戒和尚等反派人物,因而遭乃師誤解,破門出派。令狐沖浪跡江湖之際,結識日月神教要角向問天,又得該教「聖姑」任盈盈青睞,更為「正派」人士所忌。

然而這武林「正 與 邪」之間的鬥爭,實際並不如表面上的黑白分明。 令狐沖和盈盈,攜手行走江湖,逐漸發現正派中人左冷禪、餘滄海等的各種奪權陰謀,以及劣跡惡行。 經過許多周折,令狐沖終於得到恆山派的信賴,得以回歸正派門下,並與少林寺方證大師、武當派沖虛道長兩位正派領袖達成默契,合力抑制左冷禪的野心,以追求武林的太平

令狐沖雖助盈盈之父任我行殺死東方不敗,奪回日月神教教主之位,卻洞悉任氏野心,不願助紂為虐;所幸任我行突然暴斃,江湖上僥倖免去一場腥風血雨。 他又與盈盈及諸多「正」、「邪」兩派朋友合力,揭露並破壞了左冷禪、岳不群等人兼併五嶽劍派的陰謀,終使武林暫時恢復安寧。 林平之卻為了復仇,賠上了岳靈珊的性命。 最後令狐沖與任盈盈共諧連理,退出江湖,從此不問世事。

I have all 4 volumes of the State of Divinity Novel~ currently reading, it contains many olden chinese phrases, but I manage to understand them!! xD I've also watched the 1996 Drama version of the novel, Although there had been many remakes, but I think this is the version that truly captures the essences of the 金庸 Novel!

《笑傲江湖》沒有任何歷史背景,純敘江湖上事,在一連串的曲折、奸謀之中,逐漸暴露偽君子的面目,解決了正、邪的真正意義,這是一部寫盡人性的小說。金庸描寫人性的深度、情節的起伏、呼應的緊密、故事的繁複多變、武功的千奇百怪,甚至文筆的凝練、技巧的運用,都很出色

COLOURS OF THE WIND- POCAHONDAS
...You think you own whatever land you land on
The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name

You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew you never knew

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sunsweet berries of the Earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they're worth

The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends ...
GO THE DISTANCE- HERCULES
I have often dreamed
Of a far off place
Where a hero's welcome
Would be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer
When they see my face
And a voice keeps saying
This is where I'm meant to be

I'll be there someday
I can go the distance
I will find my way
If I can be strong
I know ev'ry mile
Will be worth my while
When I go the distance
I'll be right where I belong

Down an unknown road
To embrace my fate
Though the road may wander
It will lead me to you
And a thousand years
Would be worth the wait
It may take a lifetime
But somehow I'll see it through

And I won't look back
I can go the distance
And I'll stay on track
No I won't accept defeat
It's an uphill slope
But I won't lose hope
Till I go the distance
And my journey is complete

But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
For a hero's strength is measured by his heart

Like a shooting star
I can go the distance
I will search the world
I will face its harms
I don't care how far
I can go the distance
TillI find my hero's welcome
Waiting in your arms...
