I see they're trying hard to get the CIA propaganda funding.
I haven't fully watch the show in decades but I just have a question about Return of the Condor Hero.
Why did the little dragon girl seperated from yang gor for 16 years? I remember they or she was poisoned, but wouldn't it have been better to die together if there was no cure?

A very talented actress, Tang Wei recently won one of Korea's top awards (for Decision to Leave) body the Blue Dragon Film Awards is an annual awards ceremony that is presented by Sports Chosun for excellence in film in South Korea. The Blue Dragon Film Awards considers only blockbusters and popular movies of high artistic value released during the previous year.
I saw the trailer on this movie a couple of months back and saw her face on the trailer but did not finish watching the trailer but I clearly remembered thinking that this actress (Tang Wei) looked very familiar. I remembered her from Donnie Yen's movie "Wu Xia/Dragon" where she played his wife. I have yet to watch and see her very controversial movie/film that got her banned for a year or more in China due to that aforementioned movie's graphic and very real sexual scene between Tang Wei and Tony Leung in Ang Lee's 2007 movie Lust, Caution.
Anyway, a big congratulations to Tang Wei for being the first non-Korean to win such award and be recognized at the top of her craft and for speaking another language she has yet to master, which is Korean.

Xiao long nu was poisoned by Qing hua, everyone thought she was going to die. So she jumped to the bottom of the Qing hua gu Valley, but survived. Huang rong made up a lie to yang guo that she went to the south China Sea (yes it belongs to southern song Dynasty) for 16 years to heal with a mystery nun. Huang rong hoped yang guo would forget her as time went.
Yang guo was cured of the same poison by eating Duan chang cao.
Read the original books! The shows never do it justice.
Action movie star Donnie Yen proud to be Chinese

Donnie Yen in the film Ip Man 4: The Finale.
Renowned Chinese action movie star Donnie Yen (Zhen Zidan) said he is proudly Chinese and feels amazed at the progress his home country has made.
"Most of the people outside of China don't see it until they are there. The progress—the freeways, the architecture, the convenience of lifestyle," he said in a recent interview with British GQ magazine. The modernization of other countries where he has been to is not even close to China. However, he told the magazine that he is upset that the Western media focuses only on the negative stories about China. "The BBC, CNN, they never talk about that. They never mention the true side of it," he said. Yen said the 2019 protest in Hong Kong was actually a riot. "A lot of people might not be happy with what I'm saying, but I'm speaking from my own experience."
He recalled when he moved to Boston with his father and the difficulties of adapting to life in the United States as new immigrants when he was 10. "Today we talk about injustice, back in the days, you can't imagine. It was horrendous," he said.
Throughout his career, Hollywood has never quite known what to do with him or with any Asian leading men, he said, adding that he found his opportunities limited. While in China, he can play drug lords, animated monkeys, romantic leads, soldiers, but in Hollywood, he had to settle for the same handful of tired old stereotypes: the sage warrior, the stern general, and the one-dimensional villain, he said.
Yen said he had to suggest making his character blind and give him a sense of humor when he was approached by Disney to appear in the 2016 Star War prequal Rogue One to avoid making it another cliché. In addition, while making John Wick: Chapter 4, his character was originally named Shang or Chang, a generic name for Asian actors and he was supposed to wear mandarin collars. It was due to his influence that the director agreed to change the name and wardrobe, he said. He is more selective with the Hollywood movies that he takes on and he will ask if the role is generic or respectful of Chinese culture before taking a role, Yen said. While he was hungrier to prove himself at a younger age, he is no longer excited by offers from Hollywood and turns down roles if he is not allowed creative control, he said. Yen said he was energized to see Michelle Yeoh to win a Golden Globe for Everything Everywhere All at Once and believe there will always be more people like Michelle. He is also upbeat because he sees a "big difference" in the way he and other Asian actors are treated in Hollywood. One of the great things about cinema is it is unifying, transcending barriers of language and culture. "Action movies are a genre that everybody in the world can appreciate," he added.
I watched the entire series in a day.
