As we all know, mainland film and television companies love to remake Jin Yong**, but Gu Long's works are rarely involved. The work "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" has ushered in many versions, but it has failed to gain a firm foothold in the mainland. However, Chu Liuxiang is an irreplaceable representative of the male god in the hearts of martial arts fans. Next, we will take stock of these actors who play Chu Liuxiang on the screen one by one, and see who can become Chu Liuxiang in our hearts.
The first to bear the brunt was Dillon, who first tried the role of Chu Liuxiang in 1977, when his sword eyebrows, thin waist and long legs, and handsome spirit immediately captivated a large number of audiences. Although Dillon is 31 years old, his baby face reveals a sense of youth, especially when he smiles, which makes people's heartbeat slow by half a beat. He has starred in Chu Liuxiang three times, and his early appearance may not have been noticed by many audiences.
Next is Meng Fei, born in 1952, he has played Chu Liuxiang many times, from his 20s to his 40s, but his version has not generated a high degree of popularity among the audience. In stark contrast to Zheng Shaoqiu, he played Chu Liuxiang for the first time in the TVB TV series "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" in 1979, at the age of 32, he is as gentle as jade, handsome and masculine.

Pan Zhiwen played Chu Liuxiang in the TV series "Rogue Romance" filmed in 1979, although the market momentum at that time was not as good as Zheng Shaoqiu's version, but his sharp appearance and superb acting skills are also worth mentioning. Tian Peng, Liu Dekai, Miao Qiaowei, Aaron Kwok, Ren Xianqi and other actors have all played Chu Liuxiang, each of them brings different characteristics, but there are also controversial due to plot adaptations.
It is worth mentioning that Zhang Zhiyao's "The New Biography of Chu Liuxiang" filmed around 2010 was highly praised and faithful to the original work, and the Chu Liuxiang he played was handsome and extraordinary, and was considered to be the most suitable actor for this role after Zheng Shaoqiu.
However, different versions of Chu Liuxiang also faced controversy from the audience. For example, Cai Juntao's "The Beauty Illustrated Guide of Chu Liuxiang's New Biography" filmed in 2020 has been criticized for plagiarism and acting problems, while Guo Pinchao in "Chu Liuxiang: The Awakening of the Thief and Handsome" is difficult to be recognized because of the lack of plot.
Finally, we welcomed Zhu Xiaotian, whose performance in "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" was highly acclaimed, and his loyalty to the original plot and handsome appearance made him one of the Chu Liuxiang in the hearts of martial arts fans.
