The year is 1200. The Song Empire has been defeated in the north by invading Jurchen forces. Pushed further south, the empire is in danger of collapse and the Chinese population is furious. Now it falls to lone patriots trained in the martial arts to save China. Guo Jing's father was one such hero, killed in defence of his country. His mother was forced to flee to the edges of the empire, where Guo Jing was brought up fighting with Genghis Khan. Yang Kang, Guo Jing's sworn brother since birth, grew up to a different fate among the enemy. Enter Qiu Chuji, a Taoist priest famed for his martial prowess and burning patriotism. Enlisting the help of the eccentric band of martial artists known as the Seven Freaks of the South, he must find the two young men and train them in a way befitting the memory of their fathers, to take back China."--Provided by publisher. 546 $a Translated from the Chinese. 650 0 $a Patriotism $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Martial arts fiction. 650 0 $a Battles $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Heroes $z China $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Chinese fiction. 651 0 $a China $x History $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Battles. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00828915 650 7 $a Chinese fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00857362 650 7 $a Heroes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00955558 650 7 $a Martial arts fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01010847 650 7 $a Patriotism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01055200 651 7 $a China. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206073 655 7 $a Epic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726589 655 7 $a Epic fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921643 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Holmwood, Anna, $e translator. 830 0 $a Legends of the condor heroes ; $v 1. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021012408.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20201016010153.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=47B70A02BBD111E8966E672C97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
