Wingyi sent a HongKongPost card of Storm Riders, which is a Hong Kong made comic book series. The story is set in the jianghu (martial artists' community) of China during the Ming dynasty. The two protagonists – Nie Feng (Wind) and Bu Jingyun (Cloud) – learn martial arts in their early years and grow up to become legendary figures in the jianghu. As the story progresses, more characters are introduced in new story arcs. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fung_Wan)
