A manual of martial arts: filled with the principles of the Five Elements overcoming and generating one another and the essence of the Twelve Animal Forms, it also bears a fierce, bloodstained reinterpretation of the martial artist’s resolve in a world thrown into chaos. It tells the story of Chen Yunshan, an heir to Xingyi boxing, and his loves and hates amid turbulent times, in the final days of the martial world during the Republic of China. (This story is entirely fictional. Any resemblance to real people or events is purely coincidental.)
