Hi Ken,
It's a very nice example you gave. I watched Condor Heroes by Louis Cha / Jin Yong long time ago:-). Zho Botong character is naturally cute! I don't remember if they told much about his life in the movie, but remember him being one of Guo Jing's masters and raising bees at the end. Would be great to watch the TV series again

.
From experience, I also find it's best to rely on myself. It's worth all the effort to get out from my comfort zone, although there's sometimes lack of self-confidence. But living with my aunt's family has helped a great deal in this aspect, as well as understand that people are different... I'm glad that you highlighted this in Tian Liang + Lu.
There's still a lot to learn, but this is not as much burden as human relationship at least.
Thanks a lot for the insights
