    Martial arts novels are a big part of Chinese pop culture. Al-most everyone in China knows the names of some characters or martial arts moves (武功招式)from these books. These books show a fantasy(幻想的) world called jianghu. Xia, or fighting heroes, live in jianghu. They do martial arts and fight for honor.

    Legends of the Condor Heroes《射雕英雄传》is one of the most famous martial arts novels. An English version(版本)of the book came out in 2018. The book tells the story of Guo Jing. He is not a very talented young man. But he tries his best and becomes a hero to fight for his country. The book is popular in China. But what about the English version? Will foreign readers enjoy jianghu, too?
