What is the relationship between Jin Yong and Xu Zhimo?

Jin Yong and Xu Zhimo are cousins. Jin Yong's mother is Xu Zhimo's aunt, but their ages are different by a generation. Jin Yong plays more with Xu Zhimo's son, and the two brothers have little communication.

As a talented poet, Xu Zhimo has both the romantic feelings of a poet and a talented person. At the beginning, I married Zhang Youyi under the auspices of my family, but later I got divorced because of Lu Xiaoman. Therefore, Xu Zhimo's father hated Lu Xiaoman, and he kept aloof from each other. In his later years, Lu Xiaoman was in trouble, and Xu Zhimo's father never helped him.

Zhang Youyi was born in a noble family and was the sister of Zhang Junli, a senior Kuomintang official. They were close friends, and eventually they cut their robes and died. After divorce, Zhang Youyi still respected his parents and raised his only son. The Xu family's industry also developed under his leadership and eventually immigrated to the United States.

However, because of Xu Zhimo's various styles, Jin Yong was very dissatisfied with this form, which was also reflected in his later works. For example, what did Mu Rongfu, a famous family with brilliant martial arts, finally become? Another example is that Xu Zhimo, a pseudonym, is a villain in the novel. He uses this technique to express his feelings.

When Xu Zhimo died in a plane crash, Jin Yong was only a teenager and went to mourn on behalf of his family. In Jin Yong's private prosecution, we can see that although he is dissatisfied with his cousin's character, he himself admires his cousin's talent.
