The Bright Moon of Qin:A production of the
cartoon-making Xuanji Science and Technology Company hits
the TV screen. "People still show a great interest in that
period of time, because the reign of Ying Zheng has left
profound influence on our life, like the unification of
Chinese characters, currencies and measurements," said Shen
Leping, the director.The 20-part cartoon features a blend of
martial arts and heroic legends of the Qin Dynasty and
centers on the fate of Jin Tianming, a 10-year-old orphan.
To escape the murder commanded by the First Emperor, Ge Nie,
a top swordsman, embarked on a dangerous adventure with Jin
Tianming, the only son of his old friend. Li Si, the prime
minister, persuaded Wei Zhuang, Ge's ambitious and
treacherous fellow disciple, to kill the two fugitives and
the fight between the righteous and the evil unfolds.
Important historical events, such as constructing the Great
Wall and burying Confucian scholars alive and burning their
books, are trailed through the adventure of the hero, Jin
Tianming. Tales of swordsmen and hermits and various schools
of thought also share the stage. As Jin matures into a real
hero, his mysterious identity is gradually unveiled.  |
