Fu goes to the Master to learn how to fight, but the Master will only teach him to pour tea. Gold- and red-hued triptychs and full-spread illustrations chronicle Fu's spiritual journey. Some readers may get bored with the metaphor and lack of action, but others will enjoy Fu's triumph over his warrior enemy through the use of "purpose, flow, and patience."
