English Title is "Young Heroes of Shaolin". Great TV series with excellent martial arts choreography. In my opinion it is one of the best ever made. It has a DVD edition in Portugal, country where the series was a big success when it was on air in the middle eighties. This series tells the adventures of the three famous young heroes of Ching Dinasty. Together they will fight Ching Dinasty and try to restore Ming Dinasty. We will see how hard and difficult was the training in the well-known Shaolin Temple. The beautiful fight scenes are packed with a good story, with lots of humor but with dramatic moments too.

Featuring some of the biggest young stars of the day, TVB's 1981 drama The Young Heroes of Shaolin has long been a nostalgic favorite amongst Hong Kong television fans. Shek Sau, Stephen Tung, and Michael Miu took on the classic roles of Hung Hei Kwun, Fong Sai Yuk, and Wu Wai Kin, storied national heroes who have been fictionalized on screen many times including in Jet Li's Fong Sai Yuk and New Legend of Shaolin. The Young Heroes of Shaolin focuses on the willful experiences and encounters of their youth and their days as disciples at Shaolin Temple, with memorable scenes of their martial arts training and their fight out of the famous "wooden men alley", a rite of passage that disciples must go through in order to leave Shaolin. These parts are especially exciting as Stephen Tung is an accomplished martial artist and is in fact now a renowned action choreographer. This classic drama also features Felix Wong and actresses Wong Hang Sau, Suet Lei, and Au-Yeung Pui San.

During the early years of the Qing Dynasty, many patriotic men have secretly joined forces to oppose Manchurian rule in hopes of restoring sovereignty to the Han Chinese. Young hero Hung Hei Kwun (Shek Sau) is plotting with the Heaven and Earth Society to overthrow the dynasty, but when Qing soldiers storm a secret meeting, he only narrowly escapes. While laying low from troops, he encounters Wu Wai Kin (Michael Miu) and Fong Sai Yuk (Stephen Tung), who snatches an important seal from Hung. At his mother's orders, the aimless Fong then reluctantly heads to Shaolin with Wu in tow to refine his martial arts skills, and Hung follows to retrieve his seal.

Despite a rocky beginning, a close brotherhood forms as they undergo vigorous training together as Shaolin disciples. When Wu's parents get killed, the three of them fight as one to avenge their deaths and further the patriotic cause.

I absolutely loved this series as a kid. It was probably my favourite at the time. It's a shame it didn't show in more western countries, because it certainly surpasses The Knight Rider, Dukes and other soapy American productions that were going on at the time. Not only is historical, the actors are really good and gorgeous, the fight scenes are absolutely amazing, I loved the girls hairstyle, its not even corny, 100% entertainment! I recommend everyone to purchase this. Even though it may not have the same impact 30 years later, it is a series to remember if you are from Hong Kong or have seen it as a kid. I used to watch it in Portugal, that at the time was still half dominated by communist views so we had lots of shows from then communist countries. Not all of them were this good.
