A CHINESE GHOST STORY AND RETURN OF CONDOR HEROES

Every Friday we talk about wuxia movies. The past month or so we've also done a discussion of Return of Condor Heroes as Kenny and I work our way through five chapters at a time. 

Today's movie is A Chinese Ghost Story, an atmospheric and action-packed adaptation of a classic Pu Songling tale directed by Ching Sui-tung, starring Leslie Cheung, Joey Wong and Wu Ma. 


You can also hear me and Kenny talk about Return of Condor Heroes chapters 31-35. Return of Condor Heroes is a widely loved story by Jin Yong and part of a trilogy that includes Legend of Condor Heroes and Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre. ROCH follows the adventures of Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu a heroic couple beset by tragedy and at odds with the norms of the martial world. We just have one more episode to go on ROCH so this is a good time to catch up on our previous discussions.
