The Legend of the Condor Heroes

Huang Rong ran away from her home in Peach Blossom Island after an argument with her father, the Dong Xie Island Master Huang Yaoshi. She dressed herself in filthy rags and roamed Jiang Hu as a young beggar boy. She first met Guo Jing in an inn where she was causing some trouble.

In the beginning, Huang Rong's martial arts were more sophisticated than that of Guo Jing, who despite his raw strength was a slow learner.

But Huang Rong enticed him with her outstanding cooking and delicious foods, which was Hong's greatest weakness.

The Return of the Condor Heroes

Like Guo Jing, Huang Rong served as a supporting character in The Return of the Condor Heroes, the sequel to The Legend of the Condor Heroes. In the book, she was portrayed as a more mature version of herself with her trickster nature downplayed but with her woman's intuition and unmatched intelligence still evident.

The story focused on Yang Kang's son, Yang Guo, his love for his kung fu master Xiaolongnü, and his journey into manhood and eventual heroism. But ever the cautious one, Huang Rong did not take to Yang Guo as easily as her husband, knowing that the son may have the father's nature, and that he might take revenge against her and Guo Jing for his father's death.

But her mistrust was tempered by her husband's high regard for Yang Guo, whom he treated like a son, and dispelled entirely by Yang Guo's repeated selfless acts. Later, she taught Yang Guo the Dog Beating Stick Style, the secret technique of the chiefs of Beggar Sect. Yang Guo had learned the forms of the technique earlier on Mount Hua where Hong Qigong and Ouyang Feng dueled to the death. Huang Rong taught him the principles and cleared up parts that he did not understand. With this help, Yang Guo was able to hold off Jinlun Fawang, the Mongolian Protector.

Impact in wuxia literature

The women of Jinyong are, for the most part, character foils in that they only serve to help the male protagonists develop their characters. They are often there as love interests. Louis Cha or Zha Liangyong (sometimes Cha Leung Yung), OBE (born June 6, 1924), known to most by his penname Jinyong (Jin Yong) or Kam-yung (Cantonese), is one of the most influential modern Chinese-language novelists who is also the co-founder of the Hong Kong daily Ming Pao. ...


Huang Rong is arguably the only exception to this seeming rule. The book, She Diao Ying Xiong Zhuan, portrayed her as a complex novel character while at the same time, the love interest of Guo Jing. Their pairing is even uncanny at first but as the story progresses, it is shown to the readers that Huang Rong and Guo Jing actually complement each other. Guo Jing (Chinese: , died January 31, 1273) is the fictional main character in The Legend of the Condor Heroes, a novel written by Chinese author Jinyong. ... Guo Jing (Chinese: , died January 31, 1273) is the fictional main character in The Legend of the Condor Heroes, a novel written by Chinese author Jinyong. ...


Huang Rong's intelligence is frequently mentioned in the book, as well as her cleverness, mischievousness, and wiliness. Guo Jing's "dumbness" is also the pervading description of his character but "dumb" with a good heart.
