When you are in Jiang Hu, you cannot choose your life

The title is a classic sentence from Wu xia fictions. Jiang Wu, a romantic word, which means "rivers and lakes" literally, refers to the world of martial arts.

In Wuxia fictions, the real kong fu masters are usually not the shaolin temple master, nor the wondering swordman who never loses in a fight. They can be the begger, the healer, the menchants or thives. Only the one who has looked through the life, who can use one or two words to disarm an enemy, who can turn a bad man to a good man, is the real kong fu master. We can see that Wuxia is a real and vivid world. In the standard of Jianghu, if two or three people want to be brothers, they will promise to the god" we were not born at the same day of the same month of the same year, but we must die at the same day of the same month of the same year." So, lots stories are based on revenges. That really makes a world based on people's moral standard instead of the laws, which attracts modern people a lot because nowadays lifestyle and standard give lots of pressure and locks people's desire. People just find it pleasant to escape to a time when life, though hard, was relatively simple. Living in a world in which undeclared aggression, war, hypocrisy, chicanery, anarchy and impending immolation are part of the daily lives, we all want a code to live by . It is just like the Americans want to go back to the old western time, to ride the horse as a cowboy across the desert, save the sheriff's daughter from the robbers or fight against the indians. There is always a will in people's heart, though grown in different cultures, force people to return to the wild . Ahough you cannot choose your life in Jiang Hu, you can obey your own standard and do what you think is right and die for what you think is right.
