Excellent TVB Series - The New Heaven Sword & Dragon Sabre

[xseto · 18 August 2005]

This is one of my favourite Chinese series. I love Leung Chiu Wai in the role of Cheung Mo Kei and Kitty Lai as Chiu Ming. I've already watched this series a few times and will definitely watch it some more after buying the VCD box sets. I remember my first time watching this movie - I did not want it to end at all because it's that good!! The music in this movie does a great job of conveying the emotions that are played out. I especially love the song they play in the scenes with Cheung Mo Kei's parents when they were stranded on the island and they're dashing around all happy happy. And of course Leung Chiu Wai sings this song with Anita Mui. Great song! This is an excellent movie if you want to improve your understanding of the Cantonese language. I know it's helped me a great deal since I don't speak much being born in a small town in Ontario, Canada.

Even though this series was made close to 20 years ago, it is still an excellent show to watch today.

Good scenery, which no longer exists.

The actual literal translation of the title of this movie is: The Slaying of the Dragon by the Heavenly (Sword).

When this television was shot, it was among one of the earliest cooperation between China and Hong Kong in the post-Cultural Revolutionary era.

The scenery nearly twenty years ago was beautiful, but very unfortunately, the site no longer existed because due to excessive animal husbandry, the vegetation was gone and the place turned into a desert now.

This television series has an unexpected effect of reminding people the harsh reality of environmental disaster.
