    Default Things gained from reading Wuxia

    What have you learnt from reading Wuxia? (that maybe useful in the real world)

    And how has your perspective on life, people, personality, love, work, education etc. changed since reading wuxia?

    Better understanding of physics. Because I always try to explain wuxia phenomena in terms of physics laws.

    Chinese language
    Chinese Culture and Values (esp of past)
    History

    I am pretty proud to be a Chinese after reading wuxia
    Appreciation of my heritage.

    HR, ZM and some of GL's character teached a lot about trickery, taking advantage, thinking steps ahead etc.

    And getting smart to people in chinese (not sure if this is a good thing).

    I'm so similar to many pretty and smart nuxia.

    There is always hope, even if I fall down a cliff.

    Respecting the elders, especially cranky and eccentric ones may turn me into superman.

    Stalking and drugging girls work.

    Arguing with everyone here is fun.

    Everyone buys my BS.

    I think I can know "people" in reading wuxia. You can read people more effectively as wuxia novels seem to contain so many styles of people, good, bad, fake, etc.

    I guess I just like Wuxia. Wuxia teaches a bit of history, have many twists (some novels), interesting, kills time, and I enjoy it. I don't care I gain anything or not since I enjoy it.

    Learned that love and greed drives people around. Becomes more open-minded and broard-minded after reading more of wuxia and wuxia. And nothing is more fun than life itself.

    Eh I was asking about positives. But you are right, have to stop daydreaming about XL18Z cars passing by.
