Witness how our world was created by Pangu and how human beings were fashioned by Nuwa. Come face to face with famous personalities like Houyi as he battled the 10 suns and various hideous monsters; as well Fuxi, the man behind the Eight Trigrams.

About the Illustrator

Born in Taiwan in 1970, Kok Hao Yun went to Malaysia before his first birthday. His interest in drawing started when he was in primary school. After leaving school, he illustrated for several newspapers.

His turning point came in 1988 when he visited Taiwan and Hong Kong. The trip opened his eyes to overseas comics production. He was subsequently invited by the Chief Editor of a comics weekly to work in Taiwan. This later led him to apprenticeship under Cheng Wen, an artist he had long admired. Besides generously teaching him the technical intricacies of drawing, Cheng Wen also inspired him with his discipline and determination.

Kok Hao Yun returned to Malaysia in 1990 and started illustrating for various publishing firms. Best Chinese Myths is his first collaboration with Asiapac Books.
