Suosalang is an long epic poem composed by Xuemo. With a length of nearly 100,000 lines totaling over 2 million Chinese characters, Suosalang recounts the journey of a young goddess trying to save her dying mother and dying planet.
Destruction is slowly approaching as the planet is lost in overindulgence and overdevelopment. Five champions tasked to save their home world chose to be reincarnated on a distant planet known as Earth. In human forms, they eventually lost themselves and forgot their mission. In order to save her mother as well as her home planet, a brave and intelligent young goddess followed the five champions to Earth. Incarnated in a human form, she set out to awaken the champions from their earthly amnesia. During this process, she attained self-completion and became the brilliant light that lead others to enlightenment ...
The journey of the goddess and the five champions was filled with challenges and hardship. They went through the tests of romantic entanglements, life and an death, fame and fortune, demons, and other evil forces, but eventually, they found the eternity that they are determined to find.
It is known that, despite having a long and vibrant literary history, the Han Chinese (the ethnic group constituting the majority of the Chinese population) do not seem to have composed any epics like many other cultures did at the dawn of their histories—like Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, the Sumerian epic Gilgamesh, or the Tibetan epic King Gesar—or at some later time—like Dante’s Devine Comedy. Hence, Suosalang is sometimes praised as the first epic of the Han Chinese people.
Suosalang touches on such enduring themes as the choices between good and evil, love and faith, excellence and mediocrity, war and piece, ego and universal love, and many more. Through the journey of the characters, you may see the wisdom that may guide you through tough choices like these in your own life. Suosalang is a masterpiece that you might not want to miss.
