Rebirth in The Return of the Condor Heroes: The Wu Brothers is a Jin Yong fan-fiction wuxia web novel by Yu Jiangren, set in the world of The Return of the Condor Heroes. The protagonists are a pair of modern brothers who unexpectedly transmigrate and are reborn as the Wu brothers—Wu Dunru and Wu Xiuwen—who are regarded as "good-for-nothings" in the original work. Armed with modern minds and foreknowledge of the original plot, the brothers resolve not to repeat the mediocre, much-criticized fate of the Wu brothers in the original, but to make their own mark in this familiar jianghu. Told from dual protagonists' perspectives, the book follows the brothers from clueless beginners to martial arts training and travels through the jianghu. They become involved in the conflict between the Lu family estate and Li Mochou, meet original characters such as Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Huang Yaoshi, and Ke Zhen'e, and cross swords with Ouyang Feng; later they travel to Mount Zhongnan to study at the Quanzhen Sect, journey to Mount Hua and Xiangyang, and take part in major events such as resisting foreign invaders and defending Xiangyang. While retaining the original characters and classic episodes, the work adds original plotlines such as founding a merchant alliance and forming alliances against enemies, with "brothers united, their strength cuts metal" as its main thread, telling a jianghu story that makes up for regrets and rewrites the world of The Return of the Condor Heroes. It is a long web serial with many chapters.Editor's review
这是一部把“重生”与“金庸同人”两种流行写法结合得相当顺畅的网络武侠。作者玉匠人没有选择穿越成杨过、郭靖这类光环主角，而是偏偏挑中了原著里常被读者调侃的武氏兄弟，这个视角本身就带有一点“逆袭”的趣味。兄弟双主角的设定让故事多了一条互相扶持的情感线，一个沉稳、一个跳脱，配合原著中熟悉的陆家庄、全真教、襄阳城等场景，读起来既有怀旧感，也有改写命运的爽感。作品行文直白、节奏明快，冲突与打斗场面密集，适合碎片化阅读，也适合在读过原著之后，想看看“如果换个人来走这条路会怎样”的读者。Who it's for
