Plot Summary

edit

The shortening of the plot summary done in 9 April 2015 "to make it disconfusing" actually makes it quite confusing, since it removed several central paragraphs. It's like watching the movie about a third of the way and then jumping directly to the final scene. More importantly, it removes the critical section that describes how Wei Fung learned the praying mantis from the actual insect. I believe the paragraphs removed from the 6 July 2014 version should all be reinstated. If it is still desired to shorten the plot, the paragraph describing the fighting tests can be trimmed, and perhaps some others, while retaining continuity.
