Black and White Paths

It now seems to me that the decline of the wuxia genre might be a consequence of the wuxia authors themselves. In their eyes, the "chivalry" in wuxia is no longer important. But it doesn't matter; the chivalry has long since dissipated into other genres and even into anime, which wuxia fans look down upon.

Having not read a book for many years, it was a rare treat to find one with a martial arts feel. I read the whole thing in one go, but a sense of melancholy lingered in my mind. I found this book when I first joined the site years ago, but unfortunately, I only added it to my bookshelf while engrossed in other things and never read it carefully. Now that I've finished reading it, I feel a deep resonance within me. For a moment, I feel like the young man who used to bury himself in books, unable to put them down, and I feel the same sense of loss and melancholy that I felt after finishing each novel. The author poured a lot of effort into this book, and the language and writing are excellent. It's just that the timing and the timing of its release make it all the more poignant about the helplessness of human relationships and fate. May sincere people like Fang Cheng be blessed by Heaven like the characters in the book, and may their deeds be rewarded.
