Fire Child: A Chinese Folktale

Retold by Xiaoye
English Translation by Zongxiang Hu
Illustrated by Shuixian Mao

The Hani Tribe of Yunnan used to live in the dark because there was no fire. Azha, a young man, sets out to find fire and rescue his spellbound father. With the help of his hometown water and the mountain god, he sacrifices his life but brings back the much needed fire for the villagers. Today Hani people call fire “azha” in remembrance of his bravery.
