In medieval China , Outlaw s often fled to the Frontier s, returning only to prey upon the law-abiding world. The roots of ''jiang hu wu xia'' (frontier heroes) go back at least as far as the 12th Century novel, '' Water Margin '' (水浒传), in which a band of noble outlaws retreated to a Swamp y hideout, and mounted sorties in an attempt to right the wrongs of the Corrupt officials. In modern days, the term, ''jiang hu'', is frequently used to refer to the Triads and the secret societies of Gangster s. A 2004 movie entitled '' Jiang Hu '' starring Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung is about the gangster societies in Hong Kong . EXTERNAL LINKS SEE ALSO |
