The watchers could only stare in awe as they watched. If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed that someone could possess such amazing lightness kung fu. Even the Green Bat King, who thought his own lightness kung fu was unparalleled, could only sigh in reverence. Unedited Version (Faerie Queen) Zong Wei Xia became secretly alarmed as he witnessed Zhang Wu Ji capture the heavy weighing Yuan Yin with such ease. But he was already situated in the middle of the battlefield, how could he possibly retreat now and thus reveal his weakness? Therefore, Zong Wei Xia shouts out loudly, “Hey! The one called Zeng! You came in here and insisted on sticking your nose into our business. Who sent you here, and whose orders are you acting on?” Zhang Wu Ji replies, “I act merely with the hope of seeing the 6 great sects being able to resolve their conflicts and make peace with the Ming sect. I am not ordered by anyone.” Zong Wei Xia barks back, “Hmph! You expect us to shake hands and make peace with the demon sect?! It’s absurd and impossible. The old bandit Yan promised to receive 3 more stances of my Fists of the Seven Damages, let me finish him first before I take care of you!” he rolls up his sleeves and prepares to fight. Zhang Wu Ji immediately interrupts, “Elder Zong, you keep mentioning the Fists of the Seven Damages, but allow me to express my humble opinion elder – your current skill level of the Fists of the Seven Damages has still not been executed to an expertly stage yet. There are 5 elements within the human body – heart as governed by fire, lungs governed by gold, kidney by water, spleen by earth and liver by wood, in addition to that, there are the two chi(s) – Ying and Yang. Once one practices the Fists of the Seven Damages, all 7 elements will be inflicted with damage. The foundation of this set of fists was inclined to be in such a way that with every level you advance in, your own internal organs will also have to subsequently withstand an extra level of damage. Hence you have to first inflict harm upon your own self before you can harm your enemy. However, elder Zong, the good news is that you have not been practicing this set of fists for very long, therefore you can still be saved.” Listening to these words, Zong Wei Xia recognized that they were indeed the key points delineated within the manual’s central instructions for the Fists of the Seven Damages. The manual did repeatedly describe of these side-effects, warning the practitioner that if they were to attempt this set of fist, it must not be done so unless the reserve of their energy levels has reached the point of where it can course through the various acupoints of their body at will and be withdrawn with ease. If one has not reached this level yet, then they must caution to never practice this set of fists. However, this set of fists was the most famous and powerful martial art in the Kong Dong sect, therefore as soon as Zong Wei Xia reached a fairly stable reserve of internal energy he immediately started to practice this set of fists. He suddenly found the power within his punches to have increased significantly and once his appetite was wetted, it became very hard for him to restrain from continuing the practice. Hence all traces of the manual’s warning has long since been completely forgotten. Besides, all of the 5 elders in the Kong Dong sect practices this set of fists and since Zong Wei Xia himself resided in the second position, how could he possibly allow himself to be outdone? But upon hearing Zhang Wu Ji’s words at this moment, he became suddenly alarmed. Shocked, he asked, “How did you know all this?” Zhang Wu Ji does not reply, but continues to say, “Elder Zong, I entreat you to massage the yun- men, cloud-gate energy point on your shoulder – are you feeling a faint throbbing pain? The yun- men energy point governs the lungs, which means that the connection to your lungs has been wounded. The qing-ling, jade-spirit energy point located on the upper half of your kidney will often given you a numbing ache that becomes unbearable – am I right? The qing-ling energy point is related to the heart, meaning the heart pulse has been damaged. The wu-li, five-mile energy point on your thigh will ache with pain every time the weather rains or clouds over. This is due to the fact that the wu-li point governs the liver, meaning your liver has suffered harm. The longer you continue this practice, the more increasingly severe these faint signs of bodily disorder will become. If you continue on for another 8 or 9 years, I’m afraid that you will cripple your whole body for life.” As Zong Wei Xia concentrated on Zhang Wu Ji’s every word, bead after bead of sweat emanated 548 Heavenly Sword Dragon Slaying Saber Unedited Version from his forehead. Little did he know that many years ago, Xie Xun had related the whole essence and nature of the Fists of the Seven Damages to Zhang Wu Ji, thus enabling Zhang to be very well acquainted with the nature of this martial art skill. On top of that, Zhang is extremely well learned in the practice of medicine, thoroughly understanding the relationship between the various pulse points and the side effects that arises from their damage. Thus every word that he utters is dead on. Over the course of these few years, Zong Wei Xia has indeed been feeling faint traces of those side effects that Zhang Wu Ji mentioned. Due to the fact that his condition has not yet reached the state of which would give cause for any serious alarm, he has therefore always secretly harboured his illnesses and remained averse to the idea of seeking medication. But hearing Zhang Wu Ji list out one after the other, details of his physical condition so accurately, he couldn’t help but be alarmed to the point of undergoing a change of colour in his countenance. It is only after the duration of a very long pause before he is finally able to utter the words, “How … how did you know this?” Zhang Wu Ji smiles faintly and replies, “I happen to know a little about the laws of medicine. If elder you are willing to trust me, as soon as the situation here is resolved, I can think of ways to cure you of your present ailments. But I must remind you once more that practicing this skill will only bring upon harm, and will do you absolutely no good. You must not continue to practice it.” Zong Wei Xia forces himself to refute, “The Fists of the Seven Damages is the top martial art skill within the Kong Dong sect’s establishment, how can it be as you say, harmful and unbeneficial? Back in the days, our sect’s ancestor Mu Ling Zi established worldwide fame for himself solely from this set of fists.

It portrays a number of characters in the background of the Southern Song Dynasty. In this research, we attempt to analyze the relationship of characters in LCH based on social network, including network feature analysis, cluster analysis, and data visualization. Moreover, the approach can be extended to other literary works because our research provides a general framework for analyzing character relationships. We first perform lexical analysis on the corpus to extract character names and then utilize co-word analysis to build a social network of character relationships. We reckon characters as nodes and count the cooccurrences of characters as weights of links.

My feet dangled in the air as I looked down to a man who had lost his mind. The young man I had aroused during my dance had transformed into the angriest man I had ever seen. His body was shaking, incredibly so, while he studied my tears. Then he slammed his eyes shut, facing away from me. Too terrified to talk, I stuttered, “M-Mas-ster—” He dropped me to the ground. “Not. My. Name!” I stayed as low to the ground as I could while watching him deal with his fury. I simply couldn’t understand what was happening. Then he screamed, “Whit! My bed!” Rising to my feet, I was shocked to hear him scream, “You are Fire!” Traumatized on the floor, I watched the Pretend Whit crawl into his bed, Yury following her while unbuckling his pants. Scared I would get sick on his carpet, I covered my mouth in horror. Pretend Whit moved like a robot. His anger was not alarming her, nor what he was asking of her. She laid on her back as if his pent-up rage was an everyday occurrence. Walking to the other side of his bed, the one farthest from the door, he pointed at me. “You move or head for that door, I will kill you.” He meant every word. I sensed it in my bones. So, I didn’t dare move.

  • “First Editions” at the Jin Yong Gallery Dr Yau Kin-Yan, Clarence Jin
    An Overview of the “First Editions” at the Jin Yong Gallery Dr Yau Kin-yan, Clarence Jin Yong’s novels were first serialised in the New Evening Post in 1955, but later several offprints (known as “the First Editions”) were also published. They were to be followed by other editions revised by the author himself: the first was edited in the early 1970s, entitled The Jin Yong Novel Collection (referred to as “the Revised Editions”); and the second was further revised and compiled based on “the Revised Editions” (known as “the New Revised Editions”) towards the end of the 20th century. Among them, the First Editions are the most highly valued and avidly sought after by Jin Yong’s fans because the contents have been rewritten over and over again by the author himself in the later editions, and they would like to find out what was in the earliest versions. But with the many decades in between, those old copies are very hard to find today, and this adds to the public’s curiosity for the unknown. “The First Editions” is a generic term that covers not only the nascent versions before Jin Yong started revising them in 1972, but also the printed versions published in various newspapers, magazines, offprints etc. The Jin Yong Gallery of Hong Kong Heritage Museum has on display physical copies of published works and contents that are the most representative of Jin Yong’s novels. In other words, they have lifted the veil from the mysterious unknown, and revived contents that have intrigued Chinese readers in all parts of the world over the last half century.

Wu Xie, Pan Zi, Xiao Hua, and others went to Guangxi from Hangzhou, Changsha, and Beijing. In the village of Banai in Guangxi, Wu Xie (still pretending to be Uncle Three) met Qiu Dekao’s team again and saw Ghost, a man whose shoulders had melted and collapsed. They found that Ghost was a member of the archaeological team that went to the Zhang family’s ancient building thirty years ago, and was also named Zhang Qiling! Was Ghost the key to solving all these secrets? Driven by Ghost, they finally delved deep into the great secret of the vast and strange mountains—a group of Miluotuo who lived on cannibalism were in the mountains, and the passage to the secret location of the ancient building was very dangerous and treacherous if they delayed!

  • Students' Perception on the Role of Group Discussion in Interpersonal Speaking Class
    Patriarchal Ideology in Jin Yong’s Legend of the Condor Heroes (1957) Based on Sylvia Walby’s Idea about Patriarchy in Public and Private Sphere Rizky Ardita Perdana Abstract The system of patriarchy which has typically put all men as the head of family puts women in a disadvantaged position in the society and in the family. Women are just the inferior in society. They are often stereotyped as a weak creature who needs to be protected by the stronger ones; i.e. men. This phenomenon has been seen as the way things should be. The patriarchal system is maintained by series of structures and practices, including family, systematic violence and the expropriation of women’s labor. These three elements support the two major forms of patriarchy suggested by Walby; i.e. public and private patriarchy. As a product of popular culture, Legend of the Condor Heroes portrays an interesting phenomenon. Despite the setting which is the 13th century China, Huang Rong, its female protagonist, is described as a smart, thoughtful, independent, skillful and strong woman whom her husband often depends on. Therefore, this study aimed to examine if Huang Rong’s portrayal is actually support or against patriarchy. The findings reveal that on the surface, Huang Rong’s portrayal, especially her roles in public spheres, may be against patriarchy. However, in private spheres, Huang Rong is still tied with patriarchal system where her customs limit her freedom. This study shows how patriarchy is still maintained through literatures. Key words: public patriarchy, private patriarchy, women’s roles Introduction "A woman's duties are to cook the five grains, heat the wine, look after her parents-in-law, make clothes, and that is all!." "It will be theirs neither to do wrong nor to do good.

  • On the Translation of Xia Culture in Chinese Martial Arts Novels Under the Background of Cultural Confidence Based on Legends of the Condor Heroes Shen Yiqun
    International Journal of English Literature and Social Sciences Vol-6, Issue-1; Jan-Feb, 2021 Journal Home Page Available: https://ijeab.com/ Journal DOI: 10.22161/ijels On the Translation of Xia Culture in Chinese Martial Arts Novels under the Background of Cultural Confidence based on Legends of the Condor Heroes Shen Yiqun School of Foreign Studies, Zhejiang University of Finance & Economics Dongfang College, Hangzhou, China Received: 25 Oct 2020; Received in revised form: 22 Dec 2020; Accepted: 06 Jan 2021; Available online: 13 Jan 2021 ©2021 The Author(s). Published by Infogain Publication. This is an open access article under the CC BY license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). Abstract— Cultural confidence is a nation or a country's full affirmation in its culture, the active practice of its own cultural values, as well as the firm confidence in the vitality of its culture. Introducing excellent Chinese martial arts novels to the world is a manifestation of cultural confidence. The success of the English translation of Jin Yong's martial arts novel "Legends of the Condor Heroes" by Anna Holmwood in the Western market can give Chinese translators a lot of inspiration in translating Chinese martial arts novels. This article analyzes the characteristics of the jianghu terms, characters’ nicknames, and KungFu names that constitute the xia culture in Chinese martial arts novels, and explores the different strategies used in Holmwood's translation for various culturally-loaded words and phrases, namely transliteration, literal translation with annotation, free translation, and creative translation. While retaining the exotic factors in the novel so that English readers can appreciate the unique charm of Chinese martial arts culture, it also appropriately ensures the readability of the novel, which is not an easy task in translating Jin Yong’s work.
