A Wuxia Adventure Starting with The Eagle-Shooting Heroes

Jin Yong writes fairy tales, while Gu Long truly embodies the martial arts world. In Jin Yong's world, martial arts are everything, but in Gu Long's world, too many factors can determine victory or defeat; ultimately, intelligence is crucial. When people possess power and are not subject to legal punishment, most are not "good people." Just look at the emperors of ancient times—who took the law seriously, and who valued human life?

The movie *Ashes of Time* is said to have had a very difficult production process, and as a result, few people have seen it. Most people don't understand it; it's a bit too artistic. I couldn't continue after watching the beginning; it's not very appealing to the general public. Why would the author choose to start with this movie?

Why start with "The Wandering Earth" instead of "The Eagle Shooting Heroes"?

At first, I thought it was "The Eagle Shooting Heroes," and assumed it would be quite funny. But when I came in, I found out it was actually "Ashes of Time" (lol).

It's clear the author wanted to write something profound and evocative to flesh out the characters, but the writing style is somewhat lacking; the characters don't feel fully developed and instead appear more superficial.

You came here expecting a martial arts novel because of the title, but ended up reading a fantasy novel instead.

Um, after thinking about it, I've decided I probably won't be writing about Gu Long's novel world anymore. Upon closer reflection, I realized I had nothing to add; I couldn't contribute anything interesting to his story. Adding things haphazardly will only create a hodgepodge and ruin a classic.

(Ashes of Time) is a Lunar New Year film; it features characters with internal energy and even deities.

It's well-written. I once read a novel where the first arc was about the Eastern Heretic and Western Poison, but that protagonist practiced swordsmanship and had a realistic style. As long as the author doesn't abandon the story, we can still be friends, and I can recommend it.

More beautiful than a woman. And so indecisive, does that mean the protagonist is effeminate? 🙂
