Summary:
Once upon a time in China: The legendary martial arts teacher Wong Fei-hung, with a band of disciples, battles a host of nefarious forces--foreign and local--who are threatening Chinese sovereignty as British and American imperialists encroach upon the Mainland. Once upon a time in China II: Wong Fei-hung takes on the diabolical White Lotus Sect, a virulently cult whose antiforeigner sentiments unleash a wave of destructive violence. Wong and his nemesis, Commander Lan, face off in a battle royal. Once upon a time in China III: Wong Fei-hung travels to Beijing, where he finds himself drawn into the intrigue surrounding an epic lion-dance competition, spars with a Russian rival for the affections of his beloved Thirteenth Aunt, and fights to foil a foreign plot to assassinate the real-life Chinese diplomat Li Hongzhang. Once upon a time in China IV: Once again, foreign skulduggery and a violent nationalist group, this time in the form of the fierce women warriors known as the Red Lantern Sect, swirl around a magnificent lion-dance competition, with Wong caught in the fray. Once upon a time in China V: The indomitable hero Wong Fei-hung tangles with a band of ruthless, finger-removing pirates who are exploiting the political chaos created by the invasion of foreigners in order to terrorize the Chinese coast. Once upon a time in China and America: Following an ambush in his visit to America, Wong Fei-hung becomes separated from his fellow travelers and suffers memory loss.
