The prototype of Xiuying

Postby Youzhi » Thu Jul 23, 2015 10:52 am

Sorry for my poorly english, I'm a shenmue fan from china.
And I just heard something about the prototype of Xiuying, from Gadio, a chinese TV-game podcast.

In Yu-san's tour to china, his tour guide Ms. Zhang told him the past of her family. Because her grandfather had worked for japanese during the WW II, her parents suffered persecution and died in the cultural revolution. And her elder sister joined the Red Guards (红卫兵, the group killed Ms. Zhang's parents) after that.
Yu-san got inspiration from Ms. Zhang, he planned to design a character named Zhang Hongyu (张红玉) for Virtua fighter 3.
Finally Zhang Hongyu became Hong Xiuying, and there is no doubt that Ms. Zhang's family story is the source of the plot of Xiuying and Ziming.

So he was gonna put that Zhang Hongyu in VF 3 or 4 but then he decided on making Vanessa for VF4 and some other character (Aoi?) for VF3 and leave Zhang Hongyu for Shenmue. Great find! =D>

Also, if some of you want to read up on the youth movement Ms. Zhang's sister joined: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Guards_%28China%29
