Chinese wuxia stories

I don't think these stories get enough coverage in America. They are basically the novels of China regarding martial arts and heroes. Especially those by Louisa Cha, or Jin Yong in chinese. He writes some of the most epic tales of love and betrayal. I grew up reading these and watching the television adaptations. It was so appealing to me, basically these heroes of low class following the way of life bound by honor. It's almost like they are super heroes.

The martial arts world called the jianghu(literally meaning rivers and lakes) in Chinese describe a world where order is maintained by groups or sects each having their own specialty kung fu. They are always about good battling evil and it's so cool. Some notable ones are the Condor Trilogy and the Smiling Proud Wanderer.
