Summary of Prior Draft
The story of the “Bridge of Birds,” begins at the Monastery of Shu, here the abbot is belittling Li Kao, comparing him to the lowest pieces of scum on Earth. It begins to seem as if the story was going downhill for Li Kao until he saves the abbots life. Who then gives him a beggars bowl and robe and tells him one day he will be called and it is his duty to follow that call. With that in mind Li Kao leaves for his quest to become rich and stay young in China. Li Kao begins his journey in the city of Peking where here he steals five-hundred gold coins in order to start his life of wealth. While fleeing he falls off a cliff and soon finds the legendary Cheng Hang’s skull who charges him to find three trinkets; a crystal ball, a bronze bell, and small flute, in order to fix the terrible event that happened in heaven. That two gods in love were separated and were unable to see each other due to the end of the building of the Bridge of Birds. Given only the knowledge of what to look for, the hint that Cheng Hang will somehow provide Li Kao with a dragon that will help guide him on his quest he leaves. His quest takes him to have multiple quarrels with the savage Duke of Ch’in who will do anything in his power to stop Li Kao from succeeding from finding a secret truth hidden inside the quest for the trinkets. Leading to the end, where he completes the quest, the bridge of birds is formed and all in heaven is set right again. <ref name = “Bridge of Birds the original Draft”
