Wuxia America’s plot is spiced like a Chinese herbal recipe. The main character is a Chinese American doctor, Dr. Lou, who becomes the target of an international criminal ring.
The FBI’s meetings show the significance of this case. Dr. Lou proves vital to the investigation. He insights stem from his familiarity with his ancestors’ experience as immigrants to California at the start of the gold rush period.
A cast of robust characters animate this fascinating blend of history and mystery — a story that involves the reparation of bones to China, gold, guns, and greed. Alongside the activities of evildoers, is a love story of Dr. Lou and his family and friendships. Dr. Lou defines what it means to be a modern wuxia, “martial hero.”
