Yang Guo

​​​​​​
==Summary==
Yang Guo (楊過), whose name "Guo" means sin - to change the sinful ways of his father Yang Kang, is the protagonist of The Return of The Condor Heroes, a sequel of the previous novel The Legend of The Condor Heroes from The Condor Trilogy. Yang Guo has had a horrible childhood. At the age of eight, he was orphaned and forced to live as a homeless tramp for survival. At the age of thirteen, he was taken into the Guo household and Taoist Quan Zhen Sect consecutively, where he was beaten up and bullied in both. He eventually fled into the all-female Ancient Tomb Sect, where he was taught martial arts and was treated with care by his teacher - the extremely fair and beautiful Dragon Maiden (Xiao Long Nu) who was five years his senior. Their relationship eventually grew to be romantic.
At the age of eighteen, Yang Guo commenced his heroic journey in Jiang Hu. With Dragon Maiden's unconditional love supporting him and Guo Jing's heroism greatly inspiring him, he gradually transcended from a vengeful, rebellious teenager into a heroic youth. His altruism during his youth cost him an arm, but fate brought him to meet the Dvine Condor in exchange, which catalyzed his transformation into the legendary Condor Hero.
Sixteen years later, with his future teacher-cum-friend - the Divine Condor, their numerous heroic accomplishments together and Yang Guo's feat of killing the Mongolian Khan from afar by a single stone-throw at the Xiang Yang War, which finally ended the several-decades-long Mongolian-Song war, earned him the moniker "Condor Hero" for generations to come. At last, Yang Guo more than succeeded in atoning for all of his father's previous atrocious crimes. By the third Hua Shan Tournament, he was acknowledged as one of the Five Greats of the era and bestowed the title "West Eccentric" - succeeding the previous "West Venomous", Ou Yang Feng from the first Hua Shan Tournament. 
Yang Guo entered Jiang Hu as a lonely, tragic teenager but exited the same world, together with his loving wife - Dragon Maiden, as the legendary Condor Hero and West Eccentric who saved millions of lives.
