Description

The Pidgin Warrior by Tianyi Zhang is set against the vibrant backdrop of wartime Shanghai in the 1930s. In this cosmopolitan city, conmen and refugees mingle with those seeking to make a fortune during times of war.

Against this complex tapestry, Shi Zhaochang embarks on a quest for a gongfu master who can teach him the secret techniques needed to save China. His search is driven by a mix of idealism and desperation, as he believes that only an elite martial artist with magical powers can tip the balance in favour of his nation.

This rollicking satire of nationalism and modernity remains remarkably relevant today, offering a humorous and thought-provoking commentary on the human condition.
