Book synopsis

Over two thousand years ago in ancient China, a warlord had just unified the country - with the help of brothers Hsufu and Hsufei - establishing the Qin Dynasty and calling himself the First Emperor. Seeing the Emperor's brutality, Hsufu used a deceit to make his way to the east and founded Japan, while Hsufei continued to serve the country as an inspirational warrior. Subsequently the First Emperor took Hsufei's advice to preserve himself and his warriors in mausoleums, wishing that some days his empire would be revived. Hsufei stayed buried deep underneath the soil until 1978, when stone statues were discovered by archaeologists. In the form of a stone statue, Hsufei was removed to the residence of Deng Xiaoping, who had just been reinstated as a Communist Party leader to help lead the country after the death of Mao Zedong, the founder of the socialist new China. Hsufei, aided by a potion of immortality taken before his burial two thousand years ago, resurrected right before Deng's eyes. It was the beginning of a mysterious voyage for both of them, at the critical transformation stages of the country, the journey ending in the midst of the turbulent events in the spring of 1989.
