- "Why?"
- ―Chunyan after Ryo saves her life when he defeats her.
Chunyan Xu (Hànzì: 徐 春燕, Pinyin: Xú Chūn Yàn, On'yomi: Jo Shun'en) is a street fighter who specializes in Jeet Kune Do style in the game Shenmue II. She fights in the Black Heaven Building at the Stand Quarter, Kowloon, Hong Kong and appears to be the younger sister of her bookie, Caiming Xu.
Shenmue II[]
A scout for the Yellow Heads, Yuandao Huo instructs Ryo Hazuki to defeat Chunyan, Rod Stunt and Greg More for access to the Yellow Head Building where Yuanda Zhu is being held captive.
Ryo needs $2,000 to fight Chunyan, which he can easily receive from fighting Rod, then Greg if he does not have it already. Chunyan is a merciless fighter, and killed her opponent, that she fought before Ryo, Yu Rong by throwing him off a ledge to his death, which he presumably agreed to if he lost.
After Ryo defeats Chunyan, she ended up hanging from a ledge, with Caiming Xu worrying about her falling to her death. To Caiming and Chunyan's surprise, Ryo saves her life by pulling her up. Ryo wins $3,000 and writes in his notebook that she won't be killing anyone again.
Killed Victims[]
Due to the nature of Chunyan's street fights, it is more than likely that she has killed every opponent that she has defeated. However, there is only one confirmed killed victim.
- Yu Rong: A member of the Yellow Head gang whom Chunyan defeats in a street fight. She throws him off a ledge to his death.
Etymology[]
- Chunyan means "spring" (春) (chun) and "swallow" (燕) (yan).
- Xu means "slow/slowly, gently" (徐).
Trivia[]
- Chunyan uses the same fighting style as Sarah Bryant from the Virtua Fighter series.
- Chunyan's zodiac sign is Virgo and she has a A blood type.
- In the Kumite mode of Virtua Fighter 4 there is an A.I. of Sarah Bryant with the ring name Chunyan whom you can fight against.
- Chunyan only speaks one word of dialogue.
- Cool Z is a fan of Chunyan.
- Chunyan and Rod are completely absent in Shenmue the Animation most likely due to the show being only limited to thirteen episodes to cover Shenmue and Shenmue II. Greg was the only one of the three street fighters to appear.
