Having read too many gongfu novels, he is convinced that only an elite martial artist with magical powers can save China. He flees to Shanghai on a quixotic search for a gongfu master who can teach him the secret techniques that will make himself that warrior. The fate of China itself hangs in the balance, and everyone has a scheme to save the nation, or at least get rich trying.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Pidgin Warrior is a rollicking satire of nationalism and modernity that is remarkably relevant today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Satiric brilliance and unusual comic verve.\" -- C.
