''The Legend of the Condor Heroes'' (射雕英雄传, ''Shè Diāo Yīng Xióng Zhuàn'', also called "The Eagle-shooting Heroes") is a 2008 Chinese series starring Hu Ge, Ariel Lin, Yuan Hong, and Liu Shi Shi. It's one of the many, ''many'' adaptations of ''Literature/TheLegendOfTheCondorHeroes'' by Creator/JinYong.
Two pregnant women escape to foreign lands, where their sons grow up to be very different from each other. Guo Jing is slow-witted and talentless, but manages to rise to a prominent position in the martial arts world. Yang Kang is raised as a Jurchen nobleman and plots with the other Jurchen to conquer the Song Empire. Eventually the two men meet each other -- and their love interests, Huang Rong and Mu Nian Ci.
