Line 8:
Coincidence after miraculous coincidence followed in his journey in the west, as Ying-Xion chanced upon one Chinese master after another, who like himself had fled to America. Inheriting their combined strength, swordsmanship and martial arts, Hua Ying-Xiong became the champion of the Chinese people in the crime-ridden and racist city of Chicago by his 35th year. Standing alongside faithful comrades like Gui-Pu (Ghost Servant) the armless assassin and Lo-Han the monk, Ying-Xiong fearlessly wages war against the machinations of the Black Dragon Syndicate, a Western criminal army whose warriors' skills are such that they rival criminals who stoop to using guns.
Thus begins ''Chinese Hero'' (or 中華英雄, "Zhong Hua Ying-Xiong"), the martial arts magnum opus of Hong Kong ''[[Manhua]]'' (the Chinese equivalent of ''manga'') artist Ma Rong-Chen. It is an epic melodrama of violence, compassion, evil, honor and bravery, featuring some of the most creative interpretations of western villains with kung fu.
The story reaches its high point in the "Invincible" arc, wherein Ying-Xiong is forced into conflict with Invincible, a samurai so obsessed with battle he abandoned his family and destroyed his own eyes to be rid of all "unnecessary" emotions. This culminates in a climactic battle on top of the Statue of Liberty, in which the pride of Chinese and Japanese martial arts is put to the test.
