Product Description
"My hand grasps the killing power
in Heaven and Earth;
To behead the evil ones, spare the just,
and ease the people's sorrows."
So resolves Hong Xiuquan. It is 1837 when Hong ascends to Heaven. While there, he is charged by God, his Heavenly Father -- attired in black dragon robe and high-brimmed hat, his mouth almost hidden by his luxuriant golden beard -- to slay the demon devils who are leading the people on earth astray. Their leader is Yan Luo, king of hell, the Dragon Demon of the Eastern Sea. Hong does battle in Heaven, armed by his father with sword and seal, and aided by his elder brother Jesus. Returned to his home village in south China, he resolves to carry on the struggle against the evil polluting humanity. He knows himself to be the younger brother of Jesus Christ, God's Chinese Son.
The Taiping uprising, led by Hong Xiuquan, was a massive millenial movement that, in its violent rise and fall between 1845 and 1864, cost at least twenty million Chinese their lives. . . .
