Which wuxia characters bear your real surname?

[TaiHan]

My surname is Nguyễn(I am Vietnamese)----> 阮 (Ruǎn).

Ruan Xingzhu from DGSD.

Ruan Shizhong from Xue Shan Fei Hu.

Anyone knows any more?

Beside these, I can't think of anymore.

Question doesn't Ah Zhu, count?

[Candide]

Ah Zhu and Ah Zi are both Ruan.

In Water Margin (can count as wuxia) there are 3 Ruan brothers: Xiao2, Xiao5 and Xiao7.

[Ian Liew]

Brilliant. So the Wu folks are either dickheads or dickless...

:/ Disappointed.

Or legless. Huang Yaoshi had a disciple named Wu Renfeng/Minfeng, although not much was said of him apart from that he had died a while before Lu Chengfeng reunited with Mei Chaofeng and Huang Yaoshi.

another one knows any wuxia characters with mine? mine is 蔡

I think one of the two Huashan elders who copied the Sunflower Scroll from Shaolin was Cai Zizhong. Not the most noble of men, but he founded the Sword (or was it the Inner Power) sub-school of Huashan.

Useless too...with no appearance. Terrific, you just had to rub it in, didn't you?

so not so rare afterall

[kidd]

Any wuxia character has the surname Yu[余]?

[kidd]

温

The entire despicable Wen family in The Sword Stained with Royal Blood.
I don't think there is any Wen in other novels.

Wen Yi was a good person, wasn't she?

[PJ]

余苍海 Yu Canghai

[kidd]

余苍海 Yu Canghai

Thanks. The name sounds familiar, but can't recall who he is. So, who is he and is he a good guy or a bad guy?

[PJ]

Due to my limited knowledge, all I know is that Yu Canghai is a character out of Xiao Ao Jiang Hu.

In fact, this I have always wondered: is Yu Canghai related to the song Canghai Yisheng Xiao ( 沧海一声笑 ) ?

[kidd]

Found this in wikipedia

Yu Canghai [余苍海]: Leader of the Qingcheng Sect, he massacred Lin Pingzhi's family in order to obtain their Bixie Jianfa. He has always held a grudge against the Lins because his master, Chang Qinzhi, had once been defeated by Lin Pingzhi's great-grandfather, Lin Yuantu. He is known for his ''Song Feng Swordplay(Swordplay of the Pine Winds), which allows him to surround his foes in a green shadow. However, he was still defeated badly by Yue Buqun.

This is so not good. Any good character with the surname 余?

[Extremer88]

Any wuxia character has the surname Yu[余]?

Does Yu Lianzhou and Yu Daiyan from HSDS count?
and Yu Canghai...

And another person with Chen as surname - Chen Xuanfeng

[PJ]

Found this in wikipedia

Yup, it seems, you are mortal enemy to the Lin family (that would be me)

Also, I think the Yu in 俞莲舟 is a different word.

[Candide]

Different Yu characters.

[kidd]

Found another one. The Golden Flute Scholar Yu Yutong [金笛秀才余鱼同] from Romance of Book & Sword.

At least better than the murdering Yu Changhai.

[Extremer88]

Different Yu characters.

Sorry guys, i not very familiar with surnames

[Dania]

Cao, as with this person, but I can't think of any wuxia character off the top of my head though.

[HuangYushi]

Cao, as with this person, but I can't think of any wuxia character off the top of my head though.

You mean, Cao Cao 曹操?
There's a Cao Yunqi 曹云奇 in the Flying Fox of Snowy Mountain. He was the newly-appointed leader of the northern faction of the Tianlong School, taking over after Tian Guinong died.

Thanks, HuangYushi. Yes, I was referring to Cao Cao. IIRC, Tian Guinong was quite a despicable fella, the one who caused the death of Hu Yidao, wasn't he? How's this Cao Yunqi like? Was he a good person or a contemptible lackey? Or one of those eccentric, grey-and-in-between character?

[SkineePanda]

Liu Zhengfeng
Liu Jing (his gutsy but ill-fated daughter)
Liu Jin (his little son who was forced to condemn his father)
Liu Chuxuan

I can't believe that I can't think of anyone less kelefe with the surname Liu.. although it's a privilege to share the name with that noble Hengshan family.

For Lin there's the whole Lin family from Smiling Proud Wanderer (Lin Pingzi's family) and Lin Chaoying from ROCH (a great pedigree if any).

Yes the Lius have it hard . There's also that Liu guy in DOMD that was Fang Yi's si hing/fiancee, I guess he sucks. Not sure but there's also the Liu guy of Luo Hua Liu Shui in Linked Cities, but I don't remember if he sucks or not.

Yeah apparently no one super-cool is surnamed Liu in Wuxia.
