About Han and the Lost Myth

From thousands of years in the past, an epic myth had been passed down through generations of Chinese, telling of a war which, like the long-fought battle between the Greeks and Trojans so well known in Western mythology, was not merely a war of mortals; gods and demons too took their turn upon the battlefield.

This ancient story spiraled around a fantastical cast of Chinese immortals and monsters, including Chinese counterparts to the pantheon of Greek gods and the various romances and intrigues between them. However the tale was told so long ago that most have forgotten it, and no other peoples of the world know of its existence, since it has never been translated…

In Han and the Lost Myth, a Chinese-Canadian boy struggling with problems in his modern life is granted a special lantern that allows him travel back to this magical world of Chinese myth, where he must find the courage to prove himself. Later joined by his friends from the present, Han stands up to the demons that threaten this legendary past, making friends and enemies among mortal and immortal inhabitants alike, helping these ancestors to create a new myth that is not only Chinese but universally human. Han returns to the past armed with modern technology, and as he learns more, the line between magic and science blurs, and a fun, gripping story, begins to take shape, one that stretches beyond traditional genre boundaries to appeal to a wider audience.

Above all, Han and the Lost Myth hopes to open a gateway that will bring young foreign readers into the world of Chinese myth for the first time, in a way that they can understand and enjoy. In light of the increasing global importance of China and Chinese culture, the potential of this new “gateway” is expanding dramatically. It is only a matter of time before these ancient Chinese mythical figures become a part of our 21st century global popular culture.

Although these novels were written originally in Chinese, the author James Zhang (Zhang Qi) has spent twenty years in North America in addition to his thirty years in China; he has lived the tireless life of a creator. His mission, as he calls it, is to be a “culture transformer,” bringing east to west and story to life. He has received multiple awards for his work in film, including prizes at the Berlin International Film Festival, various American film festivals, and others around the world.

Han and the Lost Myth, which is called in “Xun zhao mi shi de shen hua” or “Long ma shen deng” in the original Chinese, is a series of nine volumes，each with relatively independent storyline. It is the first and the only Chinese science-fiction myth that has ever existed, and it was written for all the children of our time (or those who are children at heart). The full text includes literally hundreds of vivid color illustrations of the various extraordinary characters that Han encounters during his adventures.

The Story of Han and the Lost Myth

Han was born in China but his parents brought him to Canada when he was very young; the memory of his early childhood, however, continues to accompany him. He is not a happy boy; his parents are divorced and he secretly thinks that it is his fault. At school, he is taunted and bullied, and has learned to stay low and keep his mouth shut.

Then, on a field trip, he becomes the only witness to a crime: three mysterious creatures steal a priceless emerald from a museum exhibit. Nobody believes Han’s story of this supernatural theft, and everyone, even his mother, wonders if there isn’t something very wrong with this little boy; maybe he’s the thief, or maybe he’s just crazy.

Further depressed by this turn of events, Han decides to run away from home. Along the way, he comes across an old man who turns out to be Chinese immortal; the man offers him a magic lantern, telling him that it is a gateway into the past and that it will lead him to the stolen emerald.

Han is desperate to prove his innocence, and so, with the help of this lantern, he travels back into the ancient China. At first invisible, he quickly uncovers the demons’ plot, and joins the fight against them.

Back in the 21st century, his cousin Dana and friends Tom, Larry, and Jonathan soon find out about his visits to the past. Unable to follow him, they nonetheless join forces with Han to help him cover his tracks, and supply him with information and gadgets to improve his chances.

In the past, Han meets Lutudo, a boy immortal made out of lotus, and they became friends. He helps Han to save two young twin princes who are threatened by the machinations of the demons in disguise.

One of the demons is Daji, the favored concubine of the last king of Shang Dynasty, Jogral, a historical figure famous for his cruelty. Daji uses her feminine wiles to convince the foolish king to begin an invasion of Shechi, a peaceful, well-governed part of his domain. Armed with 21st century technology and a few modern ideas, Han is able to hold off the demon assault; he is backed by his immortal friends from the Yang Confederation and their impressive collection of magical items. The enemy, though, is also equipped with objects of destructive power, and the war is far from over…

Han is proclaimed a hero in this historical China, but back in the 21st century he is as vulnerable as ever. In one chapter, a group of bullies from his school take the lantern, and it appears that it is lost forever. Only through the efforts of Dana and her dog Shushu (the other member of their time-traveling club) does the lantern return to its rightful owner.

Han finally goes back into history, but this time he finds himself a prisoner in the enemy camp. There he encounters the princess Gigi, most beautiful of all immortals, and they strike up an unlikely friendship. Han soon finds himself a matchmaker between Gigi and his friend from the Yang, Utmos; the two immortals meet on a sandy beach, and fall deeply in love. Things are not so simple in this war-torn world, however, and soon Han must make a difficult choice to save his friends.

By way of thanks, Gigi gives him the Mixing Dipper, an object of great power, but at first it refuses to give up its mystic secrets. Suddenly, though, it comes to life, and Dana, Jonathan, Tom, Larry and even the little dog ShuShu are able to travel through, to join Han on the ancient Chinese battlefield and to help him in the next clash against the advancing demon host…
