Battle in Metro-China
Divine Fist is something very rare in Metro-China: a dedicated, honest, utterly incorruptible police detective. His strict upbringing in the secretive Eastern Sun sect has resulted in a sense of duty so strong that when Divinity - whom he once loved - insisted he quit the police force, he rejected her instead. He is disturbed by the power of the Black Mantis in Metro-China but, in spite of danger, refuses to give up the fight for justice.

Battle in Metro-China
Thanks to a strict upbringing within the secretive Eastern Sun sect, Shen Zhen is something very rare in Metro-China: A dedicated, honest, utterly incorruptible police detective. He has a deep sense of honor and an even deeper sense of duty. Shen's awareness of duty and honor is heightened by the pain of betrayal he suffered at the hands of Divinity.
Traditionally, Easter Sun members marry within their own group and this is where Shen met Divinity at an early age. The two were naturally drawn to each other and their families thought a match was inevitable. But Divinity could not accept it when Shen entered the police force and once he began his training, she began to drift away due to Wulong Goth's tempting seductions. Realizing she still loved Shen, she gave him the ultimatum to give up his career or lose her. When he rejected her offer she was so spurned that she joined the Black Mantis and gave herself over totally to her new lover, Wulong Goth.
It was the most painful betrayal Shen ever experiend and one that he can never forget. Shen is a Buddhist, but instead of seeking enlightenment by denying the physical world, he chooses instead to remain a part of the world in order to combat evil and restore justice. He is idealistic, but his idealism is tempered by a sharp pragmatism. He is disturbed by the corruption he sees around him in the police force, as more and more of his fellow officers fall under the sway of Black Mantis. He has learned to watch his back and trust no one. But in spite of the danger, he refuses to quit; he will fight corruption until his final breath.
