Chinese Novels

Below are the covers of two Chinese novels.

The one on the left is entitled 唐山猛虎: Tangshan Menghu-- The fierce tiger of tangshan. The one on the right is entitled 鷹爪聖手:  Yingzhua shengshou: The eagle-clawed miraculous hand.

Both have an identical subtitle 武俠技擊小説 Wuxia Zhiji xiaoshuo: "A Novel of martial heroes, and fighting".  They make reference to the genre of novels called Wuxia in Chinese.

Both these novels are written by a pen-name of 我是唐人:Woshi tangren I am a man of Tang.
Tang, in this instance refers to one of the names of the Chinese People. . In Hokkien/ Taiwanese, the Chinese still refer to themselves by this name.  ( Tn̂g-lâng)
