Wu Xinghan, also known as "The Immortal of Shandong," was a legendary figure in Chinese history who lived during the Song Dynasty (960-1279 AD). He is best remembered for his defense against the invading forces of the Jin dynasty, which resulted in a decisive victory for the Song army. In the battle of Shandong Taishan, Wu Xinghan led a small group of soldiers to defend their position on the mountain. The Jin army had advanced deep into Song territory and was determined to capture the mountain fortress. However, Wu Xinghan's wing defense strategy proved to be highly effective. According to legend, Wu Xinghan ordered his soldiers to form a large circle around the mountain,Chinese Super League Matches with each soldier holding a sword or spear in one hand and a shield in the other.
