Liu Huang - The Yellow Luis
When Luis donned the yellow shirt he swore that nothing would stop him from
winning the bicycle championship. Even when a toxic
parasite got an itch to spit in his
face he never stopped. Some accused him of sprinkling sulfur on a bowl of
peaches to help tonify mingmen fire and unblock
the bowels.
When his pregnant wife (cc: pregnancy) started
having sleepless nights (cc: yin deficiency with heat)
he became a little antagonistic with his manager (note:
antagonistic with Pu Xiao) but he never stopped training!
