A Hero Born

Anyone know when Maclehose are getting the next volume of their translation of Return Of The Condor Heroes out?

Dudes I am so indescribably happy that there will be another Jin Yong adaptation. If I am not mistaken, a series of dramas will be made based on Jin Yong's stories. The trailer looks magnificent and really reminds me of the wuxia dramas I used to watch. Oh please let this be good 🙏

A Hero Reborn: ‘China’s Tolkien’ Aims to Conquer Western Readers

*

I haven't read this particular series, but I have read the stand-alone Fox Volant of the Snowy Mountain. It was quite good & like nothing I'd ever read before. It had excellent descriptions of martial-arts combat. My only problem was that the plot was entirely revenge-based.

Also, it's worth noting that #JinYong (aka #LouisCha) is from #HongKong, so this won't be communist propaganda.
