Yue Fei Temple

This guide to Yue Fei Temple in Hangzhou opens in 1142 with the general Yue Fei jailed on a trumped-up charge, tortured for a confession, and executed alongside his son, his body secretly buried by a prison officer who refused to let him vanish unmarked. You'll hear how a new emperor cleared his name two decades later and moved his remains to West Lake, and about the men who invented the charge against him. It follows what visitors have done to their memory here for over eight centuries since.
