“The Return of the Condor Heroes” produced by CCTV is scheduled to premiere in China by March 17, 2006. The TV drama was based on the popular same title novel by Jin Yong (aka Louis Cha).
It’s not the first time that Return of the Condor Heroes was made into movies and TV dramas, almost every 2 or 3 years we will see a new version of it, and the fans always seem to support the show.
It’s a martial art cum forbidden love story between Yang Guo (starred by Huang Xiao Ming) and his master Xiao Long Nu (starred by Crystal Liu Yi Fei), with a mystic condor and massive cast of roleplay and story plot around the final years of the China Song dynasty.
With the previously successful and popular production based on other Jin Yong’s novel like “The Legend of The Condor Heroes” and “Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils,” the China production studio CCTV was putting great expectation for this multimillion production.
To create some buzz for the movie prelaunching, CCTV also selected China SuperGirl contestant Jane Zhang Liang Ying to sing the opening song.
UPDATE The TV drama is released in China and all across Asia, and is one of the most popular China TV production ever.
Theme song for ROCH added, another ROCH closing song added.

WOW!!! I just took a chance and rented this series (ROCH 06) on netflix and now I plan to buy it!! I’m in the USA so can someone recommend where I can purchase this series besides at YESASIA?
The two lead actors were just great, especially Liu Yi Fei. They were an attractive couple and did great justice to the way their characters were described in the book.
Which do many of you like better ROCH 83 or ROCH 06…let me know!! Thanks.

ROCH 83 and ROCH 06 is not comparable… the time difference is too huge and the special effects are just so different.
Over all I think the 06 version is better but it’s reasonable with all the technical improvements. Still 83 series was a great one by their standard in 80s.

who the singer on the opening theme song on the return of condor 2006?
plz let me know
January 24th, 2007 at 10:30 am
lee… the drama long time ago, can’t remember exactly… is it ‘Jiang Hu Xiao’ by Emil Chau? or ‘Tian Xia Wu Shuang’ by Jane Zhang?

Hello people,
My props to all the people who left a comment about the series. I really loved the series. Indeed you cannot compare ROTCH06 with ROTCH83. They were both good. ROTCH06 has a lot of special effects going. To be honest it could be a bit less to me. I’ve noticed that Guo Xiang has a different story between ROTCH and LSHS. I would really like to know what really happened to the Guo family! Would anybody know more about this? Also what happened to Yang Guo and Xiao Long Nu?
LSHS is not a better story then the condor heroes. It’s actually pointing out the weakness of the world of martial arts.
I hope to see more comments….
Later,
Guan

Guan… the Guo family’s destiny are not revealed in the end of ROTCH. In the other story from Jin Yong, the city of Xiang Yang was conquered in the end… I can’t remember exactly what happened to the family after that.
That’s no follow-up stories on Yang Guo and Xiao Long Nu after ROTCH, it’s general accepted that they lived happily ever after.

Tian Xia Wu Shuang - (A love) unparalleled under the sky
sung by Jane Zhang Jing Yin
穿越红尘的悲欢惆怅
Going through across life’s sadness and happiness
和你贴心的流浪
With you as a close companion, (we) wandered around
刺透遍野的青山和荒凉
Piercing through horizons of remote mountains
有你的梦伴着花香飞翔
Dreamt of you flying with fragrant flowers
今生因你痴狂此爱天下无双
Devotion to you in this life, (my) love is unparalleled
剑的影子水的波光
A sword’s shadow, water’s ripples
只是过往是过往
Just passing by, just passing by
今生因你痴狂此爱天下无双啊 …….
Devotion to you in this life, (my) love is unparalleled
如果还有贴心的流浪
If there is still a companion to wander with
枯萎了容颜难以忘难遗忘 ……..
A withered facet is hard to forget, hard to forget
Cheers,

I knew that Jin Yong edited ROCH recently. I hope someon can translate those changes especially the ending part so that those addicted to ROCH can have a comparison of the changes.

Guo family’s destiny were not disclose because the author started his next novel with that mistery.
April 25th, 2007 at 7:05 pm
Guo… yes we know. What we were talking was the destiny of Guo’s family in the next novel… what happened to Guo Jing and Huang Rong after they made the sword and knife, and what happened to the twin brother of Guo Xiang etc…

Yummy I hope you could tell me how many revisions Jin Yong had for ROCH. I searched many websites but still unable to find the latest version. The translated version at wuxiapedia.com was it according to his latest revision? ROCH to me is a very good novel and I am extremely curious as to how Jin Yong made any further changes to it. BTW I dont know chinese and that’s why I cant read his chinese novels. Would be grateful if you could enlighten me on this. Also I read somewhere that he alter Yang Guo’s charater a bit to gratify his personal ‘weakness’ in his old age, is that true? Thank you.
May 9th, 2007 at 11:55 pm
CLK… as far as I know he has reviewed ROCH just once, that is as recently.
I am not sure how ROCH was modified… but I have read the revised version of “Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils,” for me it’s a disappointment, he tried to explain everything in details and actually bored the storyline. I would prefer his original version much much more.
May 10th, 2007 at 1:50 pm
Yummy thanks for your speedy reply though still alot of unanswered questions. Many thanks.
May 10th, 2007 at 3:50 pm
You are welcome CLK… as mentioned I didn’t answer much actually.
