    A combination of these 2 elements will be the best

    Having only the first elements will just make wuxia story a violent beat-em-up story while having only the 2nd elements will make wuxia story very fluffy.

    But, I agree with Son of Light. We need to have more sisterhood in wuxia stories. Most of the female characters in wuxia now just focus all her attention on her man.

    Son of Light. Which Wong Long Sheng's heroine u like the best? I'm currently reading 'New Mythical Crane Magic Needle'. Bai Yun Fei is cool, but I don't know what she sees in Ma Jun Wu (other than him being handsome).

    Isn't Zhu Ruo Lan = Bai Yun Fei?

    I read that 'Xin Xian He Shen Zhen' is a revised version of 'Fei Yan Jing Long'.

    wuxia (at least most of them) have amazing story lines, if its seen as dorky then i guess it is, but from my perspective it isn't right now

    That's because wuxia fans aren't doing the whole convention/cosplay thing. If they did, there'd be MAJOR wuxia geekery evident.

    It'd be kind of fun to see, really.

    I think if wuxia were to have the cosplay conventions then people would start merging it with anime...I mean they already have a condor heroes anime, so I think the dorkiness of wuxia at that time would be more of an addition to the dorkiness of anime. I don't even know if that made sense

    Occasionally I take a step back and let fans like your fine self drum up the business for me. It worked, eh?

    OK, Let's organize a WUXIA COSPLAY.

    Tentative venue: Ken Cheng's big home.

    Default what's wuxia ( Jessica F9450201 )

    I'm not familiar with Wuxia . I don't like see wuxia's book , but I like watch TV or see the movie about wuxia . I think watch TV or see a movie is much more lively than reading it on books . The people in Wuxia are all strong and formidable , and they always fight for justice . They have sense of justise and they are honorable . I really like to see the TV or movie about wuxia.
