A Via Media book, Wuxia America’s plot is spiced like a Chinese herbal recipe. The main character is a Chinese American doctor, Dr. Lou, who becomes the target of an international criminal ring. A cast of robust characters animate this fascinating blend of history and mystery — a story that involves the reparation of bones to China, gold, guns, and greed. Alongside the activities of evildoers, is a love story of Dr. Lou and his family and friendships. Dr. Lou defines what it means to be a modern wuxia, “martial hero.”

The themes in this Via Media book—drawn from Chinese history, culture, and martial arts experience—are entwined in a fictional narrative to animate events envisaged to have occurred during the mid-eighteenth century. From the outset, a thin veil separates fact from fiction. Our story starts with a discovery.
