As @liztai points out 'falling from a cliff and not die' is a neccessary staple in wuxia. But here we have the opposite trope that's even more common 'sitting on a roof and contemplating' (and sometimes drink). It happens so often I'm starting to question why wuxia houses aren't built with rooftop balconies. Does this have any bearing in history, or is just such an alluring picture every production falls for it?
