Wu Xia Xiao Shuo

ppl talking about wu xia xiao shuo, hallo...!!! pls stick to topic!Originally posted by FireIce:cao xue qin's Hong Lou Meng better
if u like, u can oso read lan ling xiao xiao sheng's Jin Ping Mei
now jing yong and gu long were history. Now if talking about wu xia xiao shuo, it's HUANG YI !!!
he's the modern wu xia xiao shuo.. and known as the successor of jing yong. But i think he's better than jin yong.
his novels are : DA TANG SHUANG LONG ZHUAN!! i like that very much!! and the latest one is BIAN HUANG ZHUAN SHUO!! -
one man's meat is another man's poison.

walau eh.
i finished reading lu xiao feng zhi jue zhan qian hou and jin peng wang chao and decided to borrow a few more as i find the stories rather exciting.
to my surprised the rest of the other lu xiao feng titles available from the library are all missing.

I prefer another contempory martial art novelist, Xiao Ding. Enjoy reading his "Zhu Xian", but he still haven't finish yet and writing a bit slow.Originally posted by plump:ppl talking about wu xia xiao shuo, hallo...!!! pls stick to topic!

(For those who are wondering how come can read books that are not finished one, its because these novels are written in "sections" and publish either online or in newspaper regularly.) -
gu long's wu lin wai shi really sucks.
-
anyone here read xiao shuo online?
the number of mistakes is amazing!!!
dont they even ask do a chinese spell-check? -
gu long's lu xiao feng is much better written as compared to all of his other novels.
-
anyone here reads ni kuang's novels?
-
I like tian long ba bu, Lu ding Ji (ever since i watch the Chen xiao chun drama version)
-
I read a few "Wei Si Li" series before, dont really like it.Originally posted by dragg:anyone here reads ni kuang's novels?
He somehow make this charater too perfect, so skillful in every way, which i dont think anyone can spend time to learn and master so many things. -
tony leung's version of lu ding ji is the best.Originally posted by KenPlus:I like tian long ba bu, Lu ding Ji (ever since i watch the Chen xiao chun drama version) -
I have read every single Louis Cha's works.
My favorite is still 'Condor Heroes' (She diao ying xiong zhuan) -
how i wish my chinese is good enough to read Jin Yong novels. But i watch all verison of Jin Yong martial art dramas and a lot of times watch keep watching never bored can finish it in 2 days.
My fren who is a Jing Yong fan has read all of his 18 novels. Ang several times. In fact Jin Yong novels is studied as a literature subject with different rankings and stuff. Jin Yong works has be ranked side by side with the 4 literature classics of ancient china ( Ci Yu Ji , Hong Long Mong, Shui Hu Zhuan , San Guo Yan Yi )
Interesting thing abt Jin Yong novels is , all the 1st word of his novel add up to be a poem that make senses. His last work , Lu Ting Ji , is a break though in martial art novels, cause rest of wu xia xiao shuo all circles around a few points
1, main character is a martial art expert
2, there is some legendary weapon or secret manual that once u get it u be invincible.
3, main character is super handsome or something super about him or her.
so the main charater , wei xiao bao is none of the above and the whole story is about ploting and planning, every strange thing done in one part will definately linked to another part in later part of story.
My fren also told me how Jin Yong came about to writing novels. JY has a publisher fren who runs a newpaper printing press. Biz was failing so he ask JY for help. So what JY did was write a few pages each time and pass it to his fen to print in the papers. So Jy just write a few pages each time and in time to come it became a whole novel. In the end JY short stories help the news paper to be a success and his fren ask JY to start writng novels altogether.
The amazing part is , how can some one write such a detail story with the whole plot not having any mistakes and compile it to a novel few hundred pages , just by a few pages each day. No fancy editing and stuff.
Futher more there are 3 books just commenting abt JY works and the author has read JY novels over 100's times and do research on the timeline and certain historical facts of JY works. -
the JY friend you mentioned i guess is ni kuang, another very popular author.
-
ermm Ni Kuang is the author for the Wei Ci Li series right, he is Ke Huan Xiao Shou writer. The 3 books that comments about JY works are written by NK namely Wo Do Jin Yong ( i read JY ) , Zai Kan Jin Yong ( reading JY again ) , San Kan Jing Yong ( 3rd time reading JY ).
ermm the JY fren i mention in previous post is before JY start writing , all i know is that he should be a news paper printer. -
ni kuang didnt like the character a zi in tian long ba bu. he made her blind and jin yong changed the story because of that.
-
seen the movie? try the "CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON" novel series by WANG DU LU.
the characters are psychologically more like real human beings. even the 'heroes' like LI MU BAI have psychological flaws. and some of them do die tragically. unlike JIN YONG or GU LONG their heroes are all invincible one...
its a series, so crouching tiger is the 4th out of 5 novels.

has anyone read xi xiang ji before?
-
huang ying is quite good too.
-
huangying wrote shen sheng yi right?
it was a very popular drama in singapore decades ago. the lead actor was xu shao qiang.
i think he wrote tian chan bian too. -
lv xiao feng and chu liu xiang not bad wad.. though i prefer jin yong series
-
duo qing jian ke wu qing jian (xiao li fei dao) is not bad too. the rest are quite unbearable, especially those on fu hong xue.Originally posted by LinkageII:lv xiao feng and chu liu xiang not bad wad.. though i prefer jin yong series -
Yup...read his wei shi li zhuang long time ago...sci-fi novels, some were even made into drama..Originally posted by dragg:anyone here reads ni kuang's novels?
Do you know his sister's novels are also very popular? Different genre though...she writes romance under the pen name Yi Shu...read most of her novel as well. -
Yup...considered classical chinese porn...of course must read in my teenaged days...nothing compared to the kind school boys read nowadays la..Originally posted by dragg:has anyone read xi xiang ji before? -
Seems most people have read either Gu Long or Jin Yong...there is also another quite good writer by the name of Liang Yi Shen...his novels tend to be much shorter but were quite good.Originally posted by dragg:duo qing jian ke wu qing jian (xiao li fei dao) is not bad too. the rest are quite unbearable, especially those on fu hong xue.
