the difference between xia 侠 and dao 盗
1. a thief/smuggler/outlaw
2. xia.
if you do something not for the your own benefit, but for compassion and great goods/cause, in the process, you may lose your profit etc
so you may use your MA for good or for bad. it is upto you.
so a smuggler on a chartered/contracted shipment/transfer of princess L.
--
ending up fighting alone with the rebels against republic
--
so this is a good fictionary example of being a xia.
so incorporate some ethics of a xia into your MA.
Wu Xia novel is all about tales of Xia Ge/shi.
batman is bian fu xia
green hornet is qing feng xia.

Man allegedly tried to sneak 51 live turtles across U.S.-Canada border — in his sweatpants

Smuggling turtles in your pants? Well, that’s one way to do it.
Federal prosecutors charged a Canadian man with smuggling after he allegedly tried to sneak 51 live turtles, stuffed into his sweatpants, across the border between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, last month. Kai Xu appeared in U.S. federal court Thursday and could face up to 10 years in prison, the Detroit News reported.
Agents with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service received a tip that a box labeled “live fish keep cool” had arrived at a Detroit shipping center last month, according to a federal criminal complaint. Tipped off by U.S. border officials that Kai Xu had entered the country, agents spotted him on Aug. 5 outside the shipping center, where he removed the contents of a box, prosecutors allege in charging documents filed in federal court.
Agents said they then saw Xu go between two trucks with a weighted grocery bag, then emerge without a bag 10 minutes later. That’s when one agent “noticed irregularly shaped bulges under Xu’s sweatpants on both legs,” the complaint alleges.
Border agents stopped him as he crossed into Canada, and they found the turtles, the court document states. “Specifically, Xu had 41 turtles tapped to his legs and 10 hidden between his legs,” Special Agent Kenneth Adams said in the criminal complaint. His quarry included eastern box turtles, red-eared sliders and diamondback terrapins.
Tim Debolski, hired as Xu’s lawyer on Thursday, told the Detroit News that he wanted time to review the evidence. “Everything will come out in due time,” Debolski told the paper.
On Thursday, Xu was named in another criminal compliant involving turtle smuggling. In that one, Xu — referred to as a “known reptile smuggler” — is alleged to have picked up a box of live turtles on Tuesday from a UPS facility. He then headed to a hotel with Lihua Lin. The next day, prosecutors allege, he dropped Lin off at the airport with a suitcase filled with 200 live turtles. Lin was arrested before boarding a plane to China, the complaint reads.
Lin, also Canadian, has been charged with smuggling as well and also appeared in federal court Thursday.
Gavin Shire of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service told the Detroit Free Press that turtle smuggling is generally related to a high demand for the creatures in Asia. “There’s now a burgeoning Asian market,” he said. There’s “a lot of both illegal and unregulated turtle consumption.”
Those turtles can fetch a pretty penny; the Detroit News reported that one species allegedly found in Xu’s pants — the eastern turtle — is worth as much as $800.
“Although this sounds really extreme, we see cases like this across the nation,” U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokeswoman Melissa Maraj told the Detroit News. “People use a lot of ingenuity and creativity. Unfortunately, it’s a sign of desperation.”
Xu is an engineering student at the University of Waterloo and originally from China, the Detroit News reported.
During my time in Taiwan, I'd heard about some German guy who'd been smuggling dragonfish from Singapore back into Taiwan. He was working in cooperation with some Taiwanese gangsters. As I was told, he was going maybe once (or twice?) a month, and the young fish were put in some sort of water-filled tube around his waist under his shirt. The fish had enough oxygen(?) to survive until he could get them through to their final destination. There were corrupt airport personnel/officials(?) who were in on it, and would allow him through without hassle. The fish were bought by rich people for their aquariums.
The guy was described as very arrogant, but he always had a lot of money from his little 'business'. He wasn't particularly liked among the other foreigners, but always had a bunch of Taiwanese women fawning around him. He eventually got caught, though.
We've always referred to spandex bicycle shorts as "plum smugglers".
So, there's that.
This thread is short, but covers everything. Like spandex.
