chris. Posted December 22, 2003 at 01:58 AM Report Posted December 22, 2003 at 01:58 AM I've had a chinese friend tell me that the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is just a chapter or a few chapters of a book. If this is true could you tell me wether or not the book is in english and the title please, title in chinese or english as I might read the chinese one when I am good enough. cheers Quote
skylee Posted December 22, 2003 at 04:17 AM Report Posted December 22, 2003 at 04:17 AM The chinese name of the book, written in Chinese of course, is 臥虎藏龍. The writer's name is 王度廬. Quote

chris. Posted December 23, 2003 at 03:39 AM Author Report Posted December 23, 2003 at 03:39 AM no english translation of the book? Quote
skylee Posted December 23, 2003 at 04:08 AM Report Posted December 23, 2003 at 04:08 AM The book is part four of a series of five. It was written in the early 20th century and even the Chinese version is not so readily available (few copies and usually sold out). If you search the web, you will find that there is a comic book in English which is supposed to cover the whole series. The site is here. I think you can buy it at www.yesasia.com or Amazon. Quote
chris. Posted December 23, 2003 at 04:22 AM Author Report Posted December 23, 2003 at 04:22 AM woa thats great! I don't like ordering over net though. I guess it'll give me something to look forward to to be able to read the chinese book. Thanks again skylee. Quote
