This is the fully-researched account of the historical and contemporary development of the traditional martial arts genre in the Chinese cinema known as wuxia. The book unveils rich layers of the wuxia tradition as it developed in early Shanghai cinema in the late 1920s, and from the 1950s onwards, in the Hong Kong and Taiwan film industries.
