About this listen

Nezha stands out from traditional Chinese mythological characters by rejecting obedience, defying authority, and carving his own destiny. Unlike revered figures who embody filial piety and submission, Nezha rebels against fate, challenges the gods, and even sacrifices himself rather than accept an unjust order. His story, originating from the 16th-century novel Investiture of the Gods, inspires Nezha 2, where his fiery defiance and unwillingness to conform drive the narrative, offering a bold contrast to the typically disciplined heroes of Chinese folklore.
