Synopsis
Uproar in the Celestial Palace - The Eight Immortals / Comic - Strip Book about Traditional Chinese Beliefs // Why do the Chinese consider the number "eight" to be a lucky number? For the answer to this question, look no further than the Eight Immortals, who are one of the most popular subjects of art and craft in China. The Eight Immortals are among the most popular figures of Chinese myths and legends. In fact they are the legendary figures closest to the hearts of the ordinary people. While the first book The Eight Immortals Cross The Sea recounts how eight ordinary people in ancient China attain immortality through selfless actions and good deeds, this instalment continues their adventures as immortals - helping and saving ordinary people on earth. The last story in the book Uproar in the Celestial Palace depicts their encounters with the weather deities, with vivid illustrations of battle scenes, thanks to the artistic hand of Chan Kok Sing. Enjoy!
