In 2019, the film was ranked the 51st in 100 best films of the 21st century list by Guardian. Dulu Wang is considered one of the five greatest wuxia (which literally means ‘martial hero’) fiction writers of the Northern School in the Republican. He was less interested in writing about ruthless killings; instead he focused on his characters’ development, their emotions, friendship, and passions. Wang had great sympathy for women who suffered cruel oppression by the society and its feudal system, and his novels featured many strong female characters, warriors, and heroines. Most of his stories featured tragic endings. His perfect combination of chivalry, romance and tragedy in his novels have thrilled many critics and readers and this style have influenced many authors. During 1925-1949 Wang published more 90 novels and thousands of articles and poems.

This Crane-Iron Pentalogy Boxset includes Wang’s five book series presented fight and love stories for three generations.

More Wang’s books will be in the Collected Works of Dulu Wang series.
