It starts with puppets and miniatures to show a flying dragon, eagle, and a storm at sea. After the credits a street vendor deals with a young boy. The boy fails at cutting firewood but finds many bundles on the roadside and brings them home to mother. Next, a scholar is teaching him to write.
My copy is a computer file that plays as wide screen on a HDTV. The resolution is almost as good as a regular DVD. The dialog and embedded subtitles are Chinese which I do not speak. I believe there was a DVD release by a Taiwan company named Hoker that has English subtitles.
I am on a mission to view and review every martial arts movie of the golden age from 1967 to 1984. I found this labeled as martial arts. The labels "drama, war" on IMDB are most accurate as there is scant martial arts in the movie. Since this movie is out of my genre I have little to add and will avoid being too critical. If an old Taiwanese drama about a child growing up to become a famous general is your desire then here's one for you. Unless you speak Chinese do not bother as without the English dialog it will not hold your attention.
