The famous Wuxia author Jin Yong wrote "Xiao Ao Jiang Hu" which is loosely translated as "Laughing in the Wind". The TV series is an adaptation of Louis Cha's aka Jin Yong's, Wuxia novel "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer". It was first broadcast on CCTV in China in 2001. I play Master Qu Yang of the Sun Moon Cult. Master Qu is the character who wrote the title song "Laughing in the Wind" I'm posting this here because the director of the play allowed us to use some Wing Chun Baat Jaam Do in one of the scenes. Hopefully the Wingchunners in the NYC area will come to see the play. The play is in Mandarin, Cantonese, English and Japanese since the young lady who plays my granddaughter is Japanese. The cast is of mixed ethnicity. There are subtitles projected on one of the back drops. Since there is some WC in the play I hope this thread won't get moved. But if it does at least I tried. :)
Here's some info on the play.
