Hong Kong martial arts actor Donnie Yen plays Qiao Feng in Sakra, an action-packed adaptation of Louis Cha’s epic wuxia novel Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.
The wuxia genre has long been a mainstay of Chinese fiction, carrying a storytelling legacy that dates back to the last days of the Qing dynasty (1644–1911). While traditionally a form of historical fiction revolving around martial artists and their adventures in ancient China, its popularity has spawned different adaptations such as Chinese opera, novels, manhua (comics), television, dramas, video.
