Wuxia Mood: A Woman Walking Alone With a Sword in a Dusk Desert

A figure in a white robe with a sword on his back walks into a thousand stalks of green bamboo, with morning mist and shafts of light layered one over another. The only pure solo wide shot in the set, with the fullest sense of bamboo-forest depth. Image 4 of Zhao Yifan's Wuxia Mood set.

A man and a woman stand on the tips of two bent bamboo stalks, leaves frozen in mid-air, with morning light cutting a wall of light between them. The author cites the bamboo-forest fight in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon as the reference. Image 5 of Zhao Yifan's Wuxia Mood set.

Two people sit across a table, a man in a white robe raising a cup to drink while a woman in black lays twin short blades flat on the table with the edges toward him, an oil lamp lighting both faces warmly. Uses where props are placed to write unspoken murderous intent. Image 9 of Zhao Yifan's Wuxia Mood set.
