Young Tiger (Fengshen Yanyi)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Young Tiger a character featured within the famed ancient Chinese novel Investiture of the Gods (more commonly known as Fengshen Yanyi). Young Tiger is the son of Tiger Duke, the Grand Duke of the North. During the coalition against Su Hu, Young Tiger would support his father to his greatest potential. Following the death of Mei Wu, and Tiger Duke's retreat into the neighboring forest region, Young Tiger would try his best to support his depressed father in any such way. Once Tiger Duke and all of his men were flamed out of the forest by Su Hu's forces, Young Tiger would lead the rear guard in support. While in retreat, Young Tiger would tell his father to send a letter to Ji Chang and immediately ask for troops to assist. Thus, Young Tiger, combined with Black Tiger would defend Tiger Duke to their ultimate level of strength. Following the end of the Su Hu coalition, Young Tiger would remain as the head over Tiger Town, Tiger Duke's capital. Seven years following this point during King Wen's attack upon Tiger Town, Young Tiger would defend the capital at his fullest potential. However, once the ruse of Black Tiger was successful, Young Tiger would be beheaded -- along with his father.
