The Thief of Iljimae

There is a master thief in Suzhou, who is small in stature, as soft as a bone, and as light as the breeze. He jumps from the roof of a house, gets through the window and commits suicide. He appears and disappears without a trace. Moreover, he is also proficient in ventriloquism, learning various animal sounds and musical instruments sounds, and learning what they sound like. He can also speak the local dialects of thirteen provinces. You can stay up all night for several consecutive nights, and you can stay awake for several days at a time. You can even eat without drinking water, and sometimes you can eat several meals at a time without feeling full. The soles are covered with straw ash, making walking light and silent. It can be said that his light and soft skills are as good as those of a flea on a drum, and no worse than a swallow like Li San. He is also bold, careful, adaptable to changes, and he is also righteous and generous. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
