Chor Lau Heung - Song Siu Ching digital painting by Leanne Chau

Painted by Leanne Chau

I just found out that a reader left a comment to the TVB CLH blogpost (TVB has uploaded all CLH episodes in Cantonese in YouTube). Leanne Chau is a painter, and she actually has painted a digital painting of Chor Lau Heung and Song Siu Ching!

Above is the painting, and this is her site. Is it not a truly gorgeous painting?

Leanne, thanks a lot! Keep them coming!

Welcome to my River and Lake Realm

Greetings, fellow wanderers!

I published this blogspot on 27 March 2016 to accommodate the growing wuxia/jianghu posts I have on my personal blog. As such, this blogspot is specifically for wuxia, jianghu or wulin posts, in particular those featuring Michael Miu Kiu Wai and Barbara Yung Mei Ling.

The literal translation of 'Jianghu' (江湖) is 'rivers and lakes', usually to convey the world explored by martial artisans. Some people would translate it as 'the pugilist world', but I like 'realm of rivers and lakes' better for its poetic ambiance. In Cantonese, Jianghu is written and pronounced as "gong1 wu4" (Yale and Jyutping).

Banner is taken from an Ibuki Satsuki art. Let me know if you are the artist(s) of anon arts.

I also love communicating with my readers, so please send me your comments. I have to moderate the comments to avoid spams, but I usually approve comments within 24 hours.

If you'd like to privately communicate with me, you're welcome to email me at southernriver74 at gmail dot com. I will attempt to reply to you within 24 hours.

Enjoy the read and ride!
