The most controversial character in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is Guo Jing's eldest daughter Guo Fu.
In fact, Guo Fu is quite controversial and some people may disagree, after all, in the eyes of most people, Guo Fu is full of shortcomings, and the reader's point of view should be extraordinarily unified, believing that she is a rude and willful and even brainless woman, but if you reread the original book now, it is not difficult to find that Guo Fu has a rather chivalrous side in addition to the brainless side, especially after having the sister Guo Xiang who is in love, Guo Fu is becoming more and more pleasing to the eye.

It's just strange to say, even if Jin Yong revised the original work twice, he never explained Guo Fu's whereabouts, what was Guo Fu's final ending? Why did Jin Yong avoid talking about this? Maybe the truth is not what you think.
1. Guo Fu, who is dead and does not see the body
When I read "The Condor Heroes" as a child, it was inevitable to have a preconceived belief that Guo Fu would be the heroine of this work, after all, most people had already read the previous work "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" before they came into contact with "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", since the male protagonist at this time was the son of Yang Kang, it was reasonable for the heroine to be the daughter of Guo Jing, which just continued the fate of Guo and Yang.
It's just that with the development of the plot, Guo Fu's brutal and willful appearance is really difficult to like, but if you taste the original work, you will find that we did look at the role of Guo Fu with prejudice.
She actually has a bit of a chivalrous temperament, for example, when Huang Rong took her to fight against the Golden Wheel Dharma King with Xiao Wu, that Xiao Wu only thought about how to escape from the scene, but Guo Fu was not.

The book only said: "The Wu brothers urged repeatedly: 'Master, let's go first, you are unwell, you must take care.'" Huang Rong ignored them at first, listened to their urging, and said angrily: "If you don't speak the word 'chivalrous', what's the use of practicing martial arts?" What's the use of living in the world? This Yang is a hundred times stronger than you. Hmph, you brothers think about it. The Wu brothers were kind, but they gave their master and wife a meal to steal the white, and the boss didn't mean it. Guo Fu picked up a broken table leg from the ground and shouted, "Brother Wu, let's go together." Huang Rong grabbed it and said, "With your little effort, will you go up and die?" ’”
It's no wonder that Guo Fu doesn't look down on big and small martial arts, these two straw bags really have no backbone, but Guo Fu inherited the chivalrous spirit of his parents.
But because of this, her later outcome may not be good, and she will most likely assist her parents to guard Xiangyang together.
However, when Jin Yong mentioned the ending of Guo Jing's family in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", he deliberately avoided talking about Guo Fu's whereabouts for some reason.
(Guo Jing, Huang Rong stills)
The book only said: "On the day of the destruction of Xiangyang City, Guo Daxia and his wife were martyred at the same time as Guo Gongpo, and the whereabouts of the dragon slayer knife are unknown. Patriarch Guo was in Xichuan at the time, and he wanted to save his parents and relatives, but it was too late...... Guo Gong broke the young man and martyred the country, and there was no heir, it was the secret in the sword, and only the ancestor Guo of the original faction passed it down. ”
As you can see, Jin Yong even mentioned the non-existent Guo Poyu twice, nor did he mention Guo Fu's whereabouts, why is this?
In fact, to understand Guo Fu's whereabouts, we have to start with the mistakes made by Guo Jing back then, Guo Fu may be atoning for Guo Jing, just because Guo Jing ruined a woman's chastity back then.
Second, Guo Jing's unbearable past
Guo Jing is a righteous gentleman and a chivalrous man, how could he do something that destroys people's chastity?
He is naturally not the kind of person Ouyang Ke and Yang Kang, but he is also an ordinary man, and naturally he has seven emotions and six desires, of course, he has never been difficult for a strong man, but his actions to live up to Hua Zheng at the beginning can be regarded as ruining Hua Zheng's chastity.
Before he went to the Central Plains, he had a marriage contract with Hua Zheng, and the people in Mongolia already regarded him as a "golden knife horse", as for Hua Zheng, "she is Guo Jing's fiancée" has long spread throughout Mongolia, it can be said that in the hearts of those people, Hua Zheng is already Guo Jing's person.
But when Guo Jing met Huang Rong, the previous marriage contract was left behind by him, don't talk about long-term love, in fact, Guo Jing fell in love with Huang Rong, more because of her appearance.
When Rong'er first saw him in women's clothes, he fell, after all, it is written in the book: "At the stern of the boat, a woman rowed with oars, with long hair and a shawl, dressed in white, with a thin golden band tied around her hair, shining brightly in the snow." Guo Jing couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that this girl was dressed like a fairy. The boat slowly approached, and I saw that the woman was only fifteen or sixteen years old, her skin was better than snow, she was extremely beautiful, her smile was welcome, and her complexion was beautiful. Guo Jing only felt dazzling, didn't dare to look at it anymore, turned his head away, and slowly retreated a few steps. ”
Compared with the somewhat "strong" Chinese Zheng, Huang Rong is naturally very beautiful.
Later, Guo Jing even promised to return to Mongolia to marry Hua Zheng, and said something to Huang Rong to the extreme.

It just said: "I promised to marry her, but I want to accompany you for a hundred or two hundred years, and if she is willing to wait, she will wait for a hundred or two hundred years." Alas, Rong'er, I can't die without you, so I have to live with her...... Two hundred years later, she became a white-haired and wrinkled old woman, and I naturally couldn't marry her. ”
Hua Zheng was hung in Mongolia by him like this, try to ask who would want a woman who was labeled "someone else's fiancée"? It can be said that Guo Jing is worthy of heaven and earth, but he is sorry for Hua Zheng.
And the whole story of Shuangdiao is a closed loop, and Guo Fu is entirely possible to repay this love debt for Guo Jing.
3. Return of love debts
The plot of "Double Eagle" has many settings that echo before and after.
For example, Guo Xiaotian was cut off an arm in order to save Yang Tiexin's family, and later Yang Guo was cut off by Guo Fu.
In the serial version, Yang Guo's biological mother Qin Nanqin is a snake catcher, and Yang Guo's wife was ruined by Zhen Zhibing because she was good at using Ouyang Feng of snakes to point to the acupoint.

and Yang Kang killed Ouyang Ke, but Yang Guo became Ouyang Feng's righteous son by chance.
At this time, it is entirely possible for Guo Fu to make up for the mistakes made by Guo Jing back then.
Guo Jing and Tuo Lei are brothers, he failed Hua Zheng back then, at this time Guo Fu is entirely likely to be taken away by Kublai Khan after Kublai Khan captured Xiangyang City, treating his uncle's daughter, Kublai Khan will naturally leave some dignity, Guo Fu will most likely marry Kublai Khan, which can be regarded as paying off the love debt owed to the Mongolian woman for his father.
