| Word | wuxia |
|---|---|
| Definition | n. A genre of fiction focusing on the adventures of martial artists in ancient China. |
| Sentence | The live-action Mulan, played by Liu Yifei as a stern, unsmiling Asian Valkyrie, is basically given superpowers from the start—her chi, her life force, turns her into a wuxia action heroine, always running up walls and soaring in slow motion—which makes her heroism considerably less relatable. |
