Plot

I've cleaned up the language, and added the following (after the sentence about the ambiguous ending):

In spite of Hu Fei's desire for family revenge, he is also in awe of the heroic demeanours of Miao Ren Fung. This internal conflict afflicting Hu Fei questions the traditionally unquestionable matter of family honour, especially when it is in conflict with heroic and chivalrous properties.

There is a reason why the ending was left ambiguous. I believe one factor that contributed to Jinyong's success is that he does not write about revenge just for the sake of revenge. When revenge clashes with heroism, this previously unquestionable tenet of "never share the same sky with your parents' killer" (父仇不共戴天) is called into question. This conflict is certainly (but by no means exclusively) manifested in Hu Fei and Miao Ren Fung's duel. Not to mention Hu Fei's own romantic interests with 苗若兰.--Alexio 11:08, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: page moved. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 07:28, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Flying Fox of Snowy Mountain → Fox Volant of the Snowy Mountain – Although both the current title and the proposed title are equally used by reliable sources, the authorized English publications (1996 ed., eBook) use the proposed title. Therefore, the article should be renamed. As for pinyin title, "xueshan feihu", it's occasionally used, but I guess people won't go for it. ~~I won't propose renaming adaptations of the novel yet. Instead, I will research their official translated names (and rename adaptations if no official translated title, depending on this discussion).~~ This discussion should not affect adaptations of the novel, as they are officially titled differently.

Support, it seems logical to use the official translated name in the absence of a common one. --Cold Season (talk) 20:03, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
