Synopsis

Introduction to The Kung Fu Palm:

Though the kindhearted Old Master Shi Hechuan was wealthy and generous, he had only one child. He was nearing fifty when he finally had a son, whom he named Jitong. The old couple treasured him like their own lives, and hired several tutors to teach him at home. Though Shi Jitong was only seventeen, he was already a master of poetry, prose, and the arts. He could write a polished piece as soon as he picked up a brush, and speak with eloquence; his reputation for talent had long since spread far and wide. The old benefactor had always detested officialdom and a career in government, so he would never allow his son to travel to the capital to sit the imperial examinations. It was enough for him to inherit the family's ancestral salt business and live as a respectable merchant!
