As a boy, Jiang Yan once walked the streets with Wang Qing when they spotted a thief stealing purses from passing travelers. Wang sprang into action and caught the criminal. Passersby praised him and called him a true hero. Jiang, eyes wide with admiration, declared that one day he too would be known across the land, a great hero all would call "Great Hero Jiang." Wang Qing asked what would he do next after he fulfilled his dream, and Jiang Yan said to protect him. Wang paused for a long moment.
"There was once someone who said the same to me. You two are quite alike."
"Really?! Did he succeed? Did he become a great hero?"
"He did."
