Fung Wan
Hong Kong manhua drawn and written by Ma Wing-shing
Fung Wan (風雲) or Feng Yun, literally Wind and Cloud, is a Hong Kong wuxia manhua series by Ma Wing-shing. It was first published in 1989 by Ma's company Jonesky Publishing with the help of his assistant Siu Kit. Before the third volume was released, the manhua was known as Fung Wan until the two protagonists – Wind and Cloud – became secondary characters and the manhua was renamed Tin Ha (天下) or Tian Xia. The manhua has spawned numerous adaptations, most notably the Hong Kong films The Storm Riders (1998) and The Storm Warriors (2009), the video game Fung Wan Online, and the Chinese–Taiwanese television series Wind and Cloud (2002) and Wind and Cloud II (2005).
Plot
The series is set in the wulin (martial artists' community) of 15th- or 16th-century China during the Ming dynasty. The two protagonists – Nie Feng (Wind) and Bu Jingyun (Cloud) – learn martial arts in their early years and mature through their experiences to become legends in the wulin. As the series progresses, more characters are introduced in new story arcs.
Part 1
The first story arc is about the origins of Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun. When they are still boys, they are taken into the martial arts clan Tianxiahui (Under Heaven Society) by its chief, Xiongba (Lord Conqueror), who trains them in martial arts for an ulterior motive. Xiongba was once told by Nipusa, a Buddhist prophet, that he will rise to power in the wulin with the help of "Wind and Cloud".
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Fung Wan” as hong Kong manhua drawn and written by Ma Wing-shing. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as hong Kong manhua drawn and written by Ma Wing-shing. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 9, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q837501. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1989, 1998, 2009 and 2002.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
