All Men Are Brothers / Water Margin / Shui Hu Zhuan / 新水浒传 DVD

The classical novel Water Margin returns to Chinese televisions in the big-budget 86-episode adaptation All Men Are Brothers. Appearing in his first costume TV drama, award-winning actor Zhang Hanyu (Assembly) breathes new life into the role of tragic hero Song Jiang, the legendary leader of the outlaws of Mount Liang. Led by director Kuk Kok Leung, the epic series boasts an equally epic all-star cast that includes Zhang Tielin, Tong Dawei, Ray Lui, Kao Fu, Yan Kuan, Jing Gangshan, Anita Yuen, Hu Ke, and Ady An.

This translation of a Chinese classic (14th century) is the epic tale of a band of patriots in China during the latter part of Sung Dynasty. It is the adventure of a band of 108 outlaws struggling to help the Emperor rid himself of the despotic prime minister. Like Robin Hood, the bandit kings refer to themselves as the "gallant fraternity." They come out to harass the authorities and to attempt to solicit followers to overthrow a corrupt government in the name of the Emperor. Chocked full of ghosts, innkeepers who make hamburgers of their guests, giants of superhuman strength, beautiful women in distress, wily intellectuals and crafty merchants, this is a timeless tale of love and adventure.
