This book is the newest edition of the “Eighth Bronze Man of Shaolin Temple.”

This is the most satisfying representative work of Jiu Ba Dao to date. The first recipient of the Million Comirei TV Novel Grand Award.

A pseudo-kidnapping case of Wen Tianxiang, the Mongol court´s bloody suppression of Shaolin, the burning of the Sutra Pavilion, and the loss of the seventy-two Shaolin martial arts ultimate techniques. From then on, the Shaolin Temple fell into decline, becoming a training camp for the sons of officials.

A poor village youth with dreams of heroism, he finds himself in the decadent Shaolin Temple, covered in gold paint, forced into the “bronze man formation,” and becomes the unknown bronze man number 8, enduring constant oppression.

Is his life merely about living for the recognition of others’ heroic dreams?
