Many people have said that Chen Jialuo is a failure, but I suspect that everyone has at one stage dreamed of being like Chen Jialuo, a person of noble birth but commoner, versatile in both civil and military affairs, personable and affectionate. Value justice, have lofty ideals, and be willing to sacrifice personal happiness for the sake of the country and the nation. If Chen Jialuo is a failure, it just shows how unrealistic this dream is. Chen Jialuo's biggest failure was a political failure. No matter how innocent his personal conduct was, as the chief rudder of the Red Flower Club, he was a complete failure. The story of "Book and Sword Enmity" begins with describing how the leader of the Red Flower Society used the most solemn etiquette of "taking the leader from a thousand miles away" to welcome Chen Jialuo as their chief helmsman, and they were determined to make a twenty-year-old The only reason why a young master-like figure is appointed as the chief rudder is because the previous chief rudder had a will to say that the key to the great cause of recovering the Han people lies in this person. However, Chen Jialuo failed to complete his mission. The result of his alliance with the emperor was a complete failure and the lives of many heroes were sacrificed in vain. In the end, they all had to retire and return to Xinjiang. Chen Jialuo's failure is certainly related to his era and mission, but his naivety is also an important factor. He placed too much emphasis on personal emotions and ignored objective factors. Because he had rich emotions and no understanding of politics, it may be completely different. People who lack experience and wisdom are destined to be failed politicians. As a leader, Chen Jialuo is actually the most passive person. He originally didn't want to be the chief rudder because he thought it was incompatible with his personality, but they insisted, so he accepted it. He was probably lying to himself by saying he had no ambitions. Shen Youyun believed that Chen Jialuo was suitable to be the chief rudder because he knew that the current emperor was Chen Jialuo's biological brother, Chen Jialuo could use his brotherly love and the fact that Qianlong was originally a Han to impress the emperor and ask him to restore Han clothes. There were serious doubts about whether this plan would work, but Chen Jialuo did not consider it. His adoptive father asked him to do it, and everyone asked him to do it. This was a matter of national pride, so he did it. After he took over the task, he tried hard to show a leadership style in front of others, but when he was alone, the most important thing he cared about was personal grudges, right and wrong. Having no self-awareness, being too ambitious, and only focusing on fulfilling private virtues without measuring the public effects are the weaknesses of Chen Jialuo's scholarly political theory. Chen Jialuo met Emperor Qianlong several times, and each time was gripping. The first time was when Chen Jialuo was traveling in the mountains by the West Lake and met Qianlong playing the piano in the mountains. They didn't know who the other was, but they felt very close and yet very far away. The second time was to spy on the Yamen at night. When Emperor Qianlong came to interrogate Wen Tai at night, Chen Jialuo was shocked to see that the person playing the piano during the day was the current emperor. Qianlong's identity has been revealed. The third meeting was the Hongmen Banquet on the West Lake boat. It was polite and courteous on the surface, but secretly it was strict with swords and guns. On one side were guards escorting, on the other side were heroes accompanying each other. Their words were tit-for-tat, and the competition was a life-or-death fight. The situation was extremely dangerous, and the two people were very close. , but they are extremely opposite, and the close proximity strengthens the attraction between the two. The fourth time was catharsis. Chen Jialuo returned to his hometown in Haining to pay homage to his parents and cried in front of their graves. Qianlong was already weeping and offering sacrifices. When they first met, the two were excited and held hands with each other. Qianlong knew that Chen Jialuo was Chen Shiguan's son, that is, he was his brother, but Chen Jialuo still didn't know that Qianlong was his brother. The two of them joined hands to listen to the tide by the Qiantang River. Chen Jialuo confided in Qianlong that he missed his mother. This was the closest the two of them had ever gotten. These four meetings, especially the last one, were of great significance to Chen Jialuo, because this emotionally revealing meeting established in his mind that the emperor was very good to him. His mistake was to allow this personal feeling to develop unconsciously into trusting Emperor Qianlong. Therefore, by the fifth meeting, when Qianlong was imprisoned on the top of Liuhe Pagoda by the heroes of the Red Flower Society, Chen Jialuo was full of confidence. At this time, Chen Jialuo knew Qianlong's life experience, and also knew that his mission was to persuade Qianlong to form an alliance with the Red Flower Society and restore the Han Dynasty. Qianlong reluctantly agreed, but Chen Jialuo thought that he was really on the side of the Red Flower Society because of his overconfidence, and finally Leading to final defeat. From personal feelings to trust, from trusting people to self-confidence, Chen Jialuo made too many and serious mistakes. He didn't understand that besides cherishing him, Qianlong also cherished his own comfortable status. In addition to being portrayed by him, In addition to being moved by the ambition of the founding emperor of the country, he was also moved by the intimidation of the Queen Mother. People are selfish and cowardly, governed by their environment and habits, and the emperor is also a human being. If Chen Jialuo was not so confident, or he would take these factors into consideration, after all, he is a smart man, but he is too confident and trusts people who have feelings for him too much, and he is still far from maturity.

Chen Jialuo has a touching side, but not when he plays the role of the powerful chief helmsman, but when he is weak. He led the Red Flower Society to defeat the emperor's prestige on the West Lake. There was nothing disappointing about it, but afterwards he suddenly remembered that night was the eve of his mother's birthday, and suddenly felt lonely. He avoided everyone and went boating in the lake alone to pay tribute to his deceased mother. Crying is very touching. Unfortunately, when she was sad, Li Yunzhi suddenly came and caused trouble for no reason. He had to act like the chief helmsman again. Of the five meetings with Qianlong, the one by the Qiantang River was the most touching. It was also because that time he showed his truest feelings. He forgot about the grievances and national affairs. He couldn't help but tell this stranger but also a close person that his mother was here. It is a natural birthday, so it is called "tide life". Qianlong gave him a piece of jade with the words "deep love will last forever" on it. Chen Jialuo was such a melancholy and passionate person. He was attached to his mother and couldn't help but feel close to Qianlong, who he didn't know was his biological brother. Another person he loved deeply was his adoptive father Shen Youtang. Later, Chen Jialuo went to the Shaolin Temple to look for the files on his foster father who was expelled from the school. Although his goal was to restore the Han Dynasty, in fact, he also used it to check his own life experience. The story in this section is very obscure and ambiguous. Not only Chen Jialuo was surprised and confused, but the readers were also surprised. He touched the blood-stained old clothes that his mother used to bandage his adoptive father's wounds, and read his adoptive father's confession about the miserable love affair between the two. He couldn't help but burst into tears. His mother and adoptive father were both deeply affectionate people. The same goes for himself. Love is nothing but this affectionate side. Because he is affectionate, he doesn’t want to think about Huo Qingtong; because he likes her, he feels deeply hurt when he sees her being intimate with Li Yuanzhi, who is dressed in men’s clothing. Falling in love with Princess Xiangxiang may be secondary to her innocence and beauty, but the most important thing is that she frankly and openly loves him wholeheartedly. Chen Jialuo needs a lover, someone who loves him and lets him pour his love into her. In "Books and Swords", Jin Yong tried hard to portray Chen Jialuo's side of leading the heroes and his martial arts skills. However, Chen Jialuo's literary talent was always more convincing than his martial arts, and his personal feelings were more realistic than his political activities. Perhaps due to the author's limited experience, Jin Yong was only in his thirties when he wrote "The Book of Swords" and was rich in emotions. It should be natural for him to focus more on ideals than on understanding reality in politics and society.
