One of those refugees is Shi Zhaochang. Having read too many gongfu novels, he is convinced that only an elite martial artist with magical powers can save China. He flees to Shanghai on a quixotic search for a gongfu master who can teach him the secret techniques that will make himself that warrior. The fate of China itself hangs in the balance, and everyone has a scheme to save the nation, or at least get rich trying.

Hsia, A History of Modern Chinese Fiction Zhang Tianyi (1906-1985) was a Chinese le -wing writer and children's author, whose novels and short stories achieved acclaim in the 1930s for his satiric wit.
