Speaking of Hong Kong comics, most people may be full of doubts and even hear me say that Hong Kong comics estimate that the black question marks are all in the comment area, but in fact, Hong Kong comics did once Very popular in Asia.

Guess the cover above is the Hong Kong comic work.

exploded in the 1970s and 1990s,

was in the Asian circle, especially in Southeast Asia, when we talk about the leader of comics, it is none other than Japanese comics. I have to admit that the Japanese are indeed very developed in the entertainment industry. Hong Kong movies and Japanese animation are all symbols of these regions, but with the rise of the mainland, Hong Kong capital gradually moved to the mainland, and the actors were not connected, which led to the decline of Hong Kong movies.

But in this issue, we don't discuss Hong Kong movies, only Hong Kong comics. Unlike Japanese comics, because of the uniqueness of Chinese culture, most of Hong Kong comics are martial arts style, and very few have sci-fi ghost elements. There is a huge difference from Japanese comics, but Hong Kong comics are similar to Japanese comics to some extent, and they are all hot-blooded.

The earliest Hong Kong comic we know should be "Old Master". Although this comic is wonderful, it has no blood, because most of the fans of comics are teenagers, so most teenagers like comics with ups and downs and bloody comics. Under such a background, Hong Kong hot-blooded comics began to emerge as the times require.

"Heroes of China" and "Fengyun" we talked about in the last issue, as well as "Young and Dangerous" with modern urban style,

Of course, these comics can't escape one word, " martial arts kung fu". I don't know where the word

comes from. I don't know, but I must say that it originated from Chinese culture, which is beyond doubt, and kung fu is the cornerstone of martial arts culture.

One day in 1970, Hong Kong manga master Huang Yulang woke up in the morning and recalled a dream he had last night. In the dream, he was beaten by someone. It was so bad that I didn't dare to fight back! So after this idea of ​​wanting to be humiliated in a dream of snow, he started to write, and then " Dragon Tiger Gate " was born. At first, Huang Yulang just drew a picture casually, and named it "Little Little". rogue".

is just like you write a few short stories at the starting point, you don't expect more and more readers, and then you are urged to update every day, and finally signed by capital, you are instantly popular.

Huang Yulang is so popular. Later, he wrote to Huang Yulang for the sake of readers, saying that the comics are beautiful, but the name is too earthy. Huang Yulang thought hard and finally changed his name to "Dragon Tiger Gate". Most people don't need me to tell the story of

"Dragon Tiger Gate", but I still have to mention it, because some readers may not understand the story.
