Previous Episode: WCCBC: Water Margin Ch 1, Who let the Demons out?

Next Episode: Quotations from Chairman Mao

When chaos grows in 12th century China, and the empire is in peril, great heavenly heroes will arise among the people to make everything worse.

In the second episode we meet our first stars of destiny, and watch them immediately make bad decisions. We also discuss the finer points of Chinese capitol cities, and the definition of ancient chinese football (蹴鞠) techniques.

Feel free to get a copy (or find one of the many versions online) or just listen along as we go over this extremely entertaining story of rebellion. We are reading the Sidney Shapiro translation.

We have given up and are only going to do one chapter per episode!
