Hoang Dung is the main female character in the novel Condor Hero by the late writer Kim Dung. She also appeared in the work The Legend of the Condor Heroes. Hoang Dung is the only daughter of the owners of Dao Hoa island, Dong Ta Hoang Duoc Su and Phung Hang. Orphaned at a young age, Hoang Dung was raised by his father and taught him martial arts. She is also the 4th generation leader of Cai Bang, and the only female disciple of Bac Cai Hong That Cong. Hoang Dung was also famous as the lover and later became the wife of great knight Quach Tinh, one of the most skilled martial artists of his time.
Under the pen of writer Kim Dung, Hoang Dung is described as a girl who is both beautiful, sharp-witted and intellectually superior to others, but also very mischievous. Hoang Dung is a beauty as beautiful as a fairy on earth, with unparalleled intelligence, mischievous but still full of arrogance, temperament and generosity of a female knight.
Kim Dung did not spare beauty when describing Hoang Dung’s beauty in Condor Hero. Specifically, when Quach Tinh first saw Hoang Dung, he mistakenly thought she was a fairy coming to earth. When Hong That Cong, Giang Nam That Quai and others first saw Hoang Dung, they knew what a real beauty she was.
In particular, even though he has met countless women, Au Duong Khac (who calls Au Duong Phong his uncle, but is actually his biological son) was also amazed by Hoang Dung’s worldly beauty, intelligence, and generosity. Au Duong Phong is a person ranked among the Five Greats in the world with high martial arts.
However, there was one person in “Condor Hero” who appeared indifferent and ignored Hoang Dung’s beauty. This person is Duong Khang, Duong Qua’s biological father.
The reason why Duong Khang appeared indifferent to the great beauty Hoang Dung turned out to be very convincing.
Why does Duong Khang ignore Hoang Dung?
According to the novel The Condor Hero by Kim Dung, Duong Khang is an intelligent and wise person. He is the son of Duong Thiet Tam and Bao Tich Nhuoc, from Nguu Gia Thon. The prince of the Kim kingdom, Hoan Nhan Hong Liet, was infatuated with Duong Khang’s mother’s beauty, so he sent men to attack Nguu Gia Thon. Duong Khang’s father went missing, and his mother had to temporarily accept Hoan Nhan Hong Liet as her husband. Duong Khang was born with the surname Hoan Nhan. Later, Khuu Xu Co accepted him as a disciple, taught him martial arts, and gave him his name.
From the descriptions of the late writer Kim Dung, it is not difficult to realize that Duong Khang is an ambitious person, dreaming of wealth and prosperity. Therefore, pursuing beauty and chasing after beautiful girls is not a top priority for Duong Khang.
This comes from Duong Khang’s living situation. In The Condor Hero, although Duong Khang is Han, he grew up in the palace of the royal family of the Jin country. In this luxurious living environment, Duong Khang came into contact with and was influenced by Hoang Nhan Hong Liet, his foster father, who also loved his mother very much.
Hoang Nhan Hong Liet is a typical character who pursues money and fame, with wealth far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Duong Khang was directly influenced by Hoang Nhan Hong Liet, so he practiced this idea of life throughout his life.
During his lifetime, Duong Khang had two masters, Khuu Xu Co and Mai Sieu Phong. After that, Duong Khang wanted to worship Au Duong Phong as his master. But Au Duong Phong refused on the grounds that the Bach Da sect only teaches one disciple. In fact, Au Duong Phong passed martial arts to Au Duong Khac. Because he wanted Au Duong Phong to teach him martial arts, Duong Khang plotted to kill Au Duong Khac. Because he did not know this, Au Duong Phong had to accept Duong Khang as his disciple, but he was not in a hurry to teach martial arts.
Obviously, in order to become Au Duong Phong’s disciple, Duong Khang became cruel and used many tricks. But in the end Duong Khang had to experience the bad consequences of what he planted.
Accordingly, at Thiet Thuong temple, after being exposed by Hoang Dung for murdering five of Quach Tinh’s masters, due to fear of having the story exposed, Duong Khang intended to kill everyone and destroy his reputation. Duong Khang hit Hoang Dung with a palm. But unexpectedly, Au Duong Phong’s poison was already on Hoang Dung’s shirt. After knowing the truth, Au Duong Phong left Duong Khang poisoned to death without saving him. This is a tragic ending for Duong Khang after causing many bad things.
Although he lived weakly with his countrymen, chased after wealth, followed Hoan Nhan Hong Liet against his homeland, and committed many crimes, tricked his teacher into betraying his friends, Duong Khang was a very loyal person. . Duong Khang has only loved one girl in his whole life, Muc Niem Tu. This special girl later gave birth to Duong Khang a son and was named Duong Qua by Quach Tinh. Unlike his father, when he grew up, Duong Qua was considered a hero by his contemporaries with the name Condor Heroes.
Duong Khang is indifferent to Hoang Dung for a reason.
Hoang Dung’s beauty made many men flutter, but Duong Khang was the only one who seemed indifferent. In Duong Khang’s world, except for the war for power and status, nothing else matters. Duong Khang also had a lover and had a period of time pursuing love. However, Duong Khang always dreamed of wealth and power, so he was not much affected by this feeling.
Hoang Dung is indeed a rare beauty in the world, but she cannot give Duong Khang what she desires, such as power and wealth.
On the contrary, if Hoang Dung is a useful person in the war for power, Duong Khang will certainly not be indifferent. Instead of caring about women’s appearance, Duong Khang wholeheartedly pursued his own dream, even though he later had to pay a very high price.
For Duong Khang, the beautiful appearance of women like Hoang Dung only lasts a short time, only the interests of pursuing money and power are eternal. It is this difference in way of life and thinking that makes Duong Khang the only man indifferent to the beauty of female warrior Hoang Dung.
