Main

The story is set in the Song Dynasty and at the beginning of the Jurchen Jin invasion of northern China. The first part of the novel revolves around the friendship of two men, Yang Tiexin and Guo Xiaotian, who become heroes in their own right as they fight the Jin invaders. The bond between the duo is so strong that they pledge to each other that their unborn children will become either sworn brothers (if both are of the same sex) or a couple (if they are of opposite sexes).

The story focuses on the trials and tribulations of their sons after Guo’s death and Yang’s disappearance. Guo Jing, Guo Xiaotian’s son, grows up in Mongolia under the care of Genghis Khan. Yang Kang, on the other hand, grows up in Jin as a Jurchen prince’s son. Guo is mentored by the “Seven Freaks of Jiangnan” in martial arts but he is a slow learner and only manages to master part of the skills he was taught. Yang is mentored by Qiu Chuji of the Quanzhen Sect and he learns the evil “Nine Yin White Bone Claw” from Mei Chaofeng secretly.

The boys’ personalities differ largely from each other due to the difference in the manners they were raised. Guo is honest, loyal and righteous, but slow witted. Conversely, Yang is clever, but scheming and treacherous. They eventually meet one another and their respective lovers, Huang Rong and Mu Nianci. The main plot follows Guo and Huang’s adventures and their encounters with the Five Greats. Meanwhile, Yang plots with the Jurchens to destroy his native land of Song. Yang refuses to acknowledge his ethnicity and is strongly driven to acquire wealth, fame and glory. His treachery is slowly unveiled throughout the novel through the encounters he has with the protagonists.

Assisted by Guo, the Mongol military destroys the Khwarezm Empire and Western Xia, leaving the Jin Dynasty with no ally left to turn to and its eventual destruction. The Mongols subsequently turn their attention towards Song. Guo is unwilling to aid the Mongols in conquering his native homeland and leaves Mongolia. Guo returns to Song and helps his countrymen in countering the Mongol invasion. On the other hand, Yang meets his retributive end, leaving behind Mu Nianci and their unborn son.

    Judging from the 59 episodes. I can assume that it’s all three parts of LoCH combined. Thank you for upload. You’re our hero!

    Best version of JY’s novel so far, all the leads were so perfect for their roles. Mainland’s 2003 version had exceptional production values especially with their costumes, martial arts choreography, and completeness of following the novel, but I felt the actors didn’t carry the magic this ’83 version had. This is definitely a timeless classic.
