小小词典 (Little little dictionary)
绝世: (verb) to cause the end of the world
美女: (noun) a beauty
Hence 绝世美女: the woman who causes the end of the world
黄蓉 (born in 1203, died January 31, 1273) is also a 绝世美女.
For the uninitiated, she is a fictitious character in 金庸's The Legend of the Condor Heroes (射雕英雄传), and is the the witty wife of 郭靖.
She is my most favourite character in Condor, and the reasons why this 美女 is so 绝世 are:
(1) A marvellously witty woman who uses her intelligence to support the man she loves - 郭靖.
When I was in primary school and reading Young Generation magazine, there was a story featuring a simple-minded fellow. He wanted to be intelligent, and was told to go to the mountains where he would meet a wise woman who would tell him where to get his brains. When he finally reached there, the old woman introduced him to a wonderfully kind-hearted and smart woman (who could be called a 绝世美女 in her own rights). Immediately, he saw it - marry a smart wife and you will be smart - (wonderfully meaningful even though I was a kid when I read this). So 郭靖 is lucky to have 黄蓉 who gives him advice in his darkest need and they always escape unscathed.
(2) 黄蓉 has strong 正义-ness. Which was why she was so endearing to 東邪 西毒 南帝 北丐 中神通. Despite her stoic feel, she sheds tears (e.g. when Hong Qi gong was injured) on occassions, and this reveals her woman-ness in her... her fragility yet her determination to overcome all odds (well, she found a clam that healed Hong Qigong) - simply charming.
(3) 黄蓉 is adept in 打狗棒法, and despite she being the first woman beggar leader in the beggar sect, she wouldn't mind running against conventions.
(4) 黄蓉 is super chio... at least in the eyes of both 郭靖 and the obnoxious 楊康 who wanted to taste the swan's flesh. But it may be aptly said that 楊康 learnt some 哈蟆功 from 歐陽鋒, so he is a quientessential 癞哈蟆 (sorry lame here)...

To 靖哥哥, she's his 蓉儿...
Wonder if 蓉儿 will travel from Tampines to Joo Chiat to buy durian puffs, then to Boon Lay for 靖哥哥??
I have to ask 靖哥哥 to see if he is lucky enough! This lucky bugger!!!
