Heroes of Great Qi

In the late Tang dynasty, warlords carved up the realm and the people lived in misery. In 875 AD, Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao launched a peasant uprising and established the revolutionary regime of Great Qi. This novel offers a sweeping portrayal of the uprising’s tragic course, from its beginning and growth to its defeat, and draws a host of characters with a cool, understated touch. It is an ode to the heroes of Great Qi, a long poem about the rebirth of humanity. Rising to shake the heavens and stir up storms, the autumn chrysanthemum defies the frost with the gallant grace of a hero; rising to fight and wield the golden battle-axe, their heroic deeds will shine through the ages!
