	Wan Hu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to legend, early in the 16th century, Wan decided to take advantage of China's advanced rocket and fireworks technology to launch himself into outer space.
		On the day of lift-off, Wan, splendidly attired, climbed into his rocket chair and forty seven servants lit the fuses and then hastily ran for cover.
		In most Chinese versions of Wan Hoo's story, he is described as a martyr of space travel who was burnt to death because of the explosion caused by those rockets, instead of the first astronaut in history.

		Centuries before the Wright brothers took to the air or the Germans launched their V1 and V2 rockets, Wan was convinced that the weapons of war could also be a means of transportation and his ticket to the stars.
		Wan's pioneering spacecraft was built around a sturdy chair, two kites and 47 of the largest gunpowder-filled rockets he could lay his hands on.
		Come the launch day, Wan dressed himself in his imperial finery, strapped himself in the chair and called upon his 47 servants, each armed with a flaming torch, to light the 47 fuses.

		Hu eventually set up production there, contributing a segment to the anthology WHEEL OF LIFE (1980, with segments by Lee Hsing and Pai Ching Jui), standing out as it chronicles one incarnation of the film’s lovers in a tale involving trust, betrayal and death by poisoning.
		Hu slowed down his cinematic endeavors, spending time with his wife of the time, Cheung Ling, whil touring and lecturing in the west.
		Hu’s influence over Tsui’s work from the mid 1980s - onward, is more than obvious, and, looking back, the idea of the young man paying back the elder statesman with a modern wu xia pian seemed like a brilliant idea.

		About 650 years ago, an inventive Chinese mandarin named Wan Hu tied 47 large rockets filled with gunpowder to his chair and, firmly clutching a kite in each hand, ordered his servants to light the touchpapers.
		He vanished in a cloud of sparks and blue smoke, according to legend, with many of his Ming dynasty contemporaries believing he was somewhere in the heavens.
		This is to be able to minimise the loss of face for the Chinese leadership if anything goes wrong with the mission, timed for this month not for any technical reason but because it coincides with the October 1 anniversary of the founding of the communist state in 1949.

		Wan Hu, who in 1500 A.D. strapped 47 rockets to a wicker chair and had himself blasted into orbit, was found frozen, badly decomposed due to meteoroid impacts and still strapped to his wicker chair when Taikonaut Liwei looked out the window of his capsule.
		The discovery of Wan Hu's corpse in orbit totally rewrites the history books and confirms that the Chinese were the first civilization to send a human being into outer space.
