Description: Yang was originally Chung Hui, the son of Chung Yuan, a Chinese mandarin whose life had been devoted to opposing evil and injustice. The old man was murdered by his arch-enemy, Chao Ku, a slave trader whom he'd opposed on many occasions. With his dying breath, Chung Yuan charged his son with being Yang, the "good" side of the familiar "Yin-Yang" image, symbolizing dichotomies, particularly life-affirming good opposed to life-denying evil. But Yang was betrayed by Yin Li, Chao Ku's beautiful but deadly daughter, and sold into slavery to the captain of a ship bound for America. After taking up his life as an unwilling railroad worker, Yang escaped, and began assisting the weak and oppressed of the land he'd been forced to adopt.
