Synopsis

From a poor boy selling straw sandals in Jingkou to the founding emperor on the throne in Jiankang; from the humiliation of being whipped to a legend celebrated for a thousand years. Liu Yu's life was one man's war against his age, an epic tale of a humble-born man shattering the iron curtain of the aristocratic clans. It would take more than 160 years after his death, with Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian, establishing the imperial examination system, for the age of commoners to finally arrive.
