Liu Jing (simplified: 刘菁, traditional: 劉菁, pinyin: Liú Jīng, jyutping: lau4 zing1) was the daughter of Liu Zhengfeng and Madam Liu, and the sister of Young Master Liu and Liu Qin. She was tragically killed during the Songshan School’s massacre at the Golden Basin Handwashing ceremony.
Biography
Liu Jing was the daughter of Liu Zhengfeng, a prominent master of the South Hengshan School. She grew up in a martial arts family and was present at her father’s Golden Basin Handwashing ceremony, where Liu Zhengfeng intended to formally retire from the jianghu.
Golden Basin Handwashing ceremony
When the Songshan School attacked during the ceremony, Liu Jing was among the family members targeted. She was killed by Wan Daping, one of the Songshan disciples, along with her mother and elder brother. Her death was part of the Songshan School’s brutal campaign to eliminate Liu Zhengfeng’s family.
Personality & traits
As a minor character, Liu Jing’s personality is not deeply explored. She was presumably a dutiful daughter who supported her father’s decisions and was caught up in the tragic events that befell her family.
Martial arts abilities
Liu Jing may have received some martial arts training from her father, but her skills were not sufficient to defend against the Songshan School’s attack. She was killed along with other family members who were not professional martial artists.
