California World & Nation Subscribe for unlimited accessSite Map FORT LAUDERDALE — The strange case of the Chinese woman who lied to get into Mar-a-Lago while President Donald Trump and his family were visiting in March will end with her deportation The stage for Yujing Zhang to be sent back to China was set on Monday when U.S. District Court Judge Roy Altman sentenced the 33-year-old self-described investment counselor to eight months in prison. Since that is roughly the time Zhang has already spent behind bars, Altman said she could be turned over to immigration officials as early as this weekend How long it will take for her to be processed is unknown she has no legal ability to stay in the country and will eventually be forced to return to her home in Shanghai During the roughly hour-long sentencing hearing Zhang offered unclear and confusing explanations for why she lied to U.S Secret Service agents to get into the president’s exclusive club in Palm Beach and suggested that Trump had publicly said she had an invitation to visit “I came there to meet president and maybe his family . She insisted that Trump had told “the media” that she had permission to come to the club. When neither Altman nor her attorney said they had read or heard that Trump had extended such an invitation she suggested “maybe it was different media.” However, Altman said such claims were part of a pattern. As a jury agreed after a three-day jury trial in September, Zhang lied to get past tight security at Mar-a-Lago. And Altman took advantage of the opportunity to quiz Zhang about why she had carried an array of electronic devices multiple SIM cards and a device that can detect hidden cameras for her visit The defense attorney Zhang fired when she decided to represent herself suggested that it wasn’t unusual for foreign visitors to carry multiple cellphones and other devices The devices are common tools for business travelers When asked specifically about the device to detect hidden cameras Attorney Rolando Garcia asked Altman to sentence Zhang to 18 months in prison to punish her for her repeated lies but continued to lie when brought before a federal magistrate At a hearing before Magistrate William Matthewman shortly after her March 30 arrest Zhang claimed she only had $5,000 in a U.S an investigation showed she had $40,000 in a brokerage account along with $8,000 in cash in her hotel room Altman said it wasn’t clear Zhang intentionally lied about her financial holdings he said the crime Zhang committed was serious Garcia said he believed Zhang “had an agenda.” “She clearly knew she did not have permission to go on that property yet she spent thousands of dollars and traveled halfway around the world” to get into the club while Trump and his family were visiting “It is serious for anyone to try to break into a government installation,” he said it is more serious if the installation is where the president and his family are staying.” Zhang was arrested after convincing federal agents she was a member of Mar-a-Lago Although she was wearing an evening dress and didn’t have a bathing suit with her Secret Service agents waved her through a security checkpoint when she said she wanted to use the club pool Zhang told club managers she had come to Mar-a-Lago to attend a United Nations Friendship event an external hard drive and a thumb drive in her purse when they searched her room at The Colony Hotel Agents initially said one of the devices contained a virus they admitted the detection of malware was false an examination of her cellphone revealed that Zhang had been told that the so-called friendship event had been canceled before she left Shanghai a Chinese businessman who arranged the trip for Zhang While he tried to interest her in rerouting her trip to attend an event with former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton she asked Lee for a $20,000 refund of the travel package Go ahead and credit the money back to my account by this weekend.” the next day she paid $2,000 for a flight and showed up at Mar-a-Lago anyway “She was bound and determined to get on that property,” Garcia told jurors during the trial “She lied to everybody to get on that property.” While her arrest sparked concern that she was a Chinese spy Zhang isn't the first person to face charges this year for skirting security at Mar-a-Lago while Trump was visiting who was visiting his grandparents during last year’s Thanksgiving holiday wandered the grounds for 20 minutes before being stopped by federal agents When 18-year-old Mark Lindblom pleaded guilty in May to a charge of gaining access to restricted grounds he said he got into Mar-a-Lago by walking through a beach access point reserved for club members youth apologized profusely and was placed on probation by Matthewman The ability of Zhang and Lindblom to bypass tight security at Mar-a-Lago raised questions about federal agents' ability to protect Trump while he is at the club that he has dubbed the Winter White House The Secret Service acknowledged that it doesn't determine who gets into the club but screens visitors carefully to assure the president and his family are protected there was a vast difference between a prank played by a college student and what Zhang did She purposefully tried to get into Mar-a-Lago and then lied about why she was there he found her demeanor during the trial duplicitous she feigned an inability to understand English when it suited her purpose while she may not have understood some legal principles she clearly understood English and did an admirable job of representing herself Her reasons for so desperately wanting to meet Trump and his family may have been simply a desire to rub elbows with the rich and powerful The texts she exchanged with Lee showed a peculiar trait “She was obsessed with famous people,” he said a Chinese woman charged with lying to illegally enter President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club listens to a hearing before Magistrate Judge William Matthewman in West Palm Beach Federal prosecutors want an 18-month prison sentence for the Chinese businesswoman convicted of trespassing and lying to Secret Service agents Attorney Rolando Garcia said in a court memo that he agrees sentencing guidelines suggest that Zhang get between zero and six months when she is sentenced in Fort Lauderdale (AP) — A federal judge on Monday sentenced a Chinese businesswoman to eight months in prison for trespassing at President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club and lying to Secret Service agents District Judge Roy Altman also ordered that 33-year-old Yujing Zhang be turned over to immigration officials for deportation upon her release Because she received nearly eight months’ credit for being jailed since her arrest March 30 Sentencing guidelines called for a sentence of zero to six months Altman said trespassing on a government property particularly one where the president is staying is a “serious offense.” He also said “the evidence was overwhelming” that Zhang lied to Secret Service agents to get into Mar-a-Lago and when they confronted her “She lied time and time again,” Altman said Zhang told Altman she went to Mar-a-Lago “to meet the president and family and just make friends.” When an incredulous Altman questioned her about whether she thought she could really meet the Trumps Zhang laughed loudly and said she hoped to meet other people Zhang then told Altman that the president told reporters that he had invited Zhang to Mar-a-Lago Attorney Rolando Garcia cited Zhang’s falsehoods in arguing for an 18-month sentence saying Zhang “lied to everybody” to get into Mar-a-Lago the club’s receptionist and even her taxi driver Garcia also pointed to the electronics found on her person and in her hotel room “That certainly does not suggest she is some misguided tourist He did not specify what he believed Zhang’s agenda was but said her actions “suggest it was not just to take a photo with a famous person.” Zhang allowed federal public defender Kristy Militello to help her at the hearing Militello told Altman that Zhang had a “fantastical idea” that she could form a business partnership with the president She said Mar-a-Lago has no rule against carrying any number of electronics She said Zhang should be sentenced to the eight months she has already served a computer and an external hard drive and her hotel contained more electronics and cash That led to speculation she might be a spy text messages outlined at her trial and posted to her court file after her conviction suggest she hoped to meet the president or his family to discuss possible business deals who Altman said owns a $1.5 million house in China paid $20,000 in February to “Charles,” a man she knew only online to attend a Chinese-American friendship event at Mar-a-Lago on March 30 The Mar-a-Lago event promised a photo with the president or a member of his family Zhang’s former public defenders believe “Charles” is Charles Lee a Chinese national who ran the United Nations Chinese Friendship Association Charles texted Zhang in mid-March that the Mar-a-Lago event had been canceled but he could get her into other events featuring Bill and Hillary Clinton or billionaire Warren Buffett Prosecutors said this proved she knew the Trump meet-and-greet was off and her arrival at Mar-a-Lago wasn’t a misunderstanding Zhang flew to the United States on March 28 a taxi dropped her off at the Secret Service screening area across from Mar-a-Lago The president and his family were visiting the club although he was playing golf at his nearby course and Zhang was never near him the 34-year old Chinese woman convicted of trespassing at Mar-a-Lago is still in custody over a year after finishing her sentence A hand-written court filing appears to indicate Zhang wants to know why Zhang filed a petition for habeas corpus and filed an amended petition just before Christmas Zhang writes in the petition that she has been in custody "for one year without normal connection with my family & without stable income and unknown when I am going to be released." Her filing notes she is "in custody at Glades County Jail," where she's been since December 2019 Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody at the Glades County Detention Center "I need an attorney since I'm in jail and attorney may help me get out of the jail," Zhang writes RELATED: Hundreds of jail phone calls released in Yujing Zhang case Zhang also claims she's lost contact with her family "It violates a person's basic rights by being in custody a year without being able to make phone calls to my family," she says in the court filing "the fact is I have lost contact with my parent [sic] the whole year." a Chinese businesswoman convicted of trespassing at President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort and lying to federal agents is now in the custody of immigration officials Prosecutors are asking a judge for a harsher penalty when sentencing Yujing Zhang the Chinese woman convicted for sneaking into Mar-a-Lago Zhang was convicted in September for trespassing at President Trump's club in Palm Beach and lying to the Secret Service. WPTV first broke the story of Zhang's arrest last April. Attorney's Office filed a motion for an "upward variance," asking the judge to tack on up to an extra year on Zhang's sentence the guideline range for her conviction calls for up to six months in prison prosecutors say that Zhang lied to a judge about her financial assets Prosecutors write Zhang claimed to only have about $5,000 in a bank account but did not disclose two wire transfers to a brokerage account The filing notes "the guidelines do not punish the defendant for lying to United States Magistrate Judge William Matthewman about material facts related to her finances." Zhang's obstructive conduct in lying to the Magistrate Judge essentially goes unpunished." told WPTV that while it's not unusual for prosecutors to ask for additional time on a sentence it is in what would normally be a minor charge "It is unusual to ask for it in a basic trespassing case it shows you there something more than just trespassing Something involving national security," Aronberg said in an interview Prosecutors also say that Zhang's sentence should be longer because of a pattern of lies she told both before and after her arrest "Not only did Zhang lie to the Court but she also lied to practically everyone she encountered in the United States," writes the U.S The filing also draws on the recent case against Zhao Qianli which was also filed in the Southern District of Florida with similar circumstances. a Chinese student who was in the United States on an expired visa was convicted for trespassing at a naval installation in Key West and taking "multiple photographs and video footage of a separately secured satellite dish and antenna farm." the judge imposed a sentence of twelve months in prison which was above the sentencing guideline of up to six months imprisonment "Both Qianli and Zhang entered a restricted area with knowledge of the character of the place Both Qianli and Zhang were aware of the warning signage Both cases involved the taking of photographs throughout the facility lying to officials prior and post arrest." While neither Qianli or Zhang faced any sort of espionage charges Aronberg thinks this could maybe be a new approach for foreign governments "This is a new front perhaps in espionage where it’s going on in plain sight with civilians where its Mission Impossible or James Bond just the useful idiot type of espionage," said Aronberg Yujing Zhang is scheduled to be sentenced Nov Yujing Zhang Motion for Upward Variance by Contact 5 on Scribd Yujing Zhang who represented herself during the trial that began Monday showed no emotion as the two guilty verdicts were announced in U.S After more than four hours of deliberation, a jury of 10 women and two men convicted Zhang of lying to a federal agent and gaining access to a restricted building While she faces a maximum six-year prison term when she is sentenced by federal Judge Roy Altman on Nov under federal sentencing guidelines she could be released on time served because of the months she has already spent in the Broward County jail In keeping with her demeanor throughout the trial and in previous hearings Marshals approached her to lead her out of the courtroom She said she wanted to keep her legal papers After calmly resisting their instructions for several minutes Zhang handed a file folder to her court-appointed lawyers — two defense attorneys she fired but occasionally consulted with when she became overwhelmed by legal issues such as jury instructions and how to craft a closing statement Juror Nibaldo Padilla said he sympathized with Zhang who paid a Chinese businessman $20,000 to fly from Shanghai to West Palm Beach for a chance to meet Trump and members of his family Zhang went to the exclusive Palm Beach club on March 30 even though text messages showed the businessman had told her that what she described as a “United Nations Chinese-American Friendship event,” featuring members of Trump’s family Jury foreperson Shelly Hoffman said only: “You heard our verdict.” Padilla said the jurors examined all of the evidence closely The text messages that prosecutors used to wrap up their case were particularly damning Zhang acknowledged that her plans to meet the president had been squashed and had decided to cancel her trip “Forget it,” she wrote on March 27 to a man she identified only as Charles in a text message translated by an FBI linguist she paid $2,000 cash to board a flight from Shanghai to West Palm Beach she moved to The Colony Hotel in Palm Beach She paid a taxi $89 to take her to Mar-a-Lago even though the cabbie warned her security was tight and she wouldn’t get in she returned to the club at midday wearing a long evening dress She told Secret Service agents she wanted to use the club pool Believing Zhang was related to a member that shared the same last name She said she was there to attend the friendship event who testified that she recognized Zhang as an interloper because she was acting “strange” and “weird,” summoned federal agents They testified that Zhang told them she didn’t want to leave the devices in her hotel room for fear they would get stolen they discovered she had left behind $8,000 five SIM cards and a device that can be used to detect hidden cameras Despite her plethora of devices and the “Mar-A-Hari” nickname Zhang earned from the New York Post no evidence was presented during the trial to indicate the self-described wealthy investment consultant was a spy Her motivations for sneaking into the club were never explored The man Zhang said she knew only as Charles is Charles Lee a Chinese businessman who has links to the Chinese Communist Party according to reports in Mother Jones and other media outlets Zhang bought the tour package from the Beijing Peace and Friendly Enterprise Management Co. Zhang didn’t call a single witness and didn’t testify in her own defense She struggled to understand the criminal justice process She also had difficulty deciding whether she wanted to speak in English or through Mandarin interpreters so vacillated back and forth between the two languages In a closing statement she crafted after talking briefly to her standby attorneys public defenders Kristy Militello and Robert Adler “I made a contract to go to Mar-a-Lago to see the president and his family,” she said All the evidence has shown I am not lying.” prosecutors stuck with a simple story: Zhang was a liar “She was bound and determined to get on that property,” Assistant U.S Zhang isn’t the first person to face charges this year for skirting security at Mar-A-Lago while Trump was visiting who was visiting his grandparents during the Thanksgiving holiday youth apologized profusely and was placed on probation by a federal magistrate The ability of Zhang and Lindblom to bypass tight security at Mar-a-Lago raised questions about federal agents’ ability to protect Trump while he is at the club that he has dubbed the Winter White House The Secret Service acknowledged that it doesn’t determine who gets into the club — A Chinese businesswoman has been deported back to China more than two years after being sentenced to eight months in prison for trespassing at President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club and lying to Secret Service agents Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers deported Yujing Zhang on Sunday after a "final order of removal from an immigration judge," ICE spokesman Nestor Iglesias told WPTV Zhang was turned over to immigration officials in December 2019 after serving her sentence But immigration officials had been holding her at the Glades County Detention Center for three times as long as her prison term mainly because of deportation delays during the COVID-19 pandemic Zhang, who was convicted in 2019, filed a petition for habeas corpus last year writing that she wasn't sure when she was going to be released WPTV NewsChannel 5 was the first to report on Zhang's charges "They found a way to get her for more time," Boynton Beach immigration attorney Richard Hujber said Hujber said it appears a handwritten legal brief from Zhang to federal court in Fort Myers may have finally led to her leaving the U.S Zhang was seeking $100 million in compensation alleging mental and physical abuse at the jail and saying there was no legal right to still hold her so I think the government must have then realized there was suspicion that Zhang may have been trying to spy at Mar-a-Lago fueled by her possession of several phones thumb drives and other equipment that was seized by federal agents Zhang claimed she was just looking to meet the president and make friends "Why have they never come out and said what they actually found?" Hujber said of the federal government Zhang did get back $8,000 in cash that she had with her when she first came to Florida Suggestions or feedback?

Trump now is about to punish and take revenge on those who wrongly accused him, including the media.” “So, his events are temporarily put on hold for the time being,” Lee continued. “If there are other events that we can go, that .. I will let you know. I will make arrangements. No worries. But this is none right no, none right now. Huh.” Zhang didn’t respond to Lee’s political analysis. Instead, when he asked her if she is more interested in real estate forums, she responds: “Right. Right Right.” Other evidence, that was filed in court records on Thursday, includes a copy of the agreement she signed with Lee and her planned itinerary. For $20,000, Zhang was to receive round-trip airfare from Shanghai to the United States. Her seven-day trip was to feature stops in Palm Beach, Washington, D.C.. and New York City. She was to visit the White House and Capitol Hill in Washington and Wall Street, the Statue of Liberty, the World Trade Center and the U.S. Stock Exchange while in New York. As part of the package, she would receive an “Honorary Diploma in Peace,” from the United Nations China, identified as a nonprofit organization. Further, she was to receive a “U.S.-China Friendship Missionary Honorary Certificate,” issued by U.S. President Donald Trump’s Committee for Economic Cooperation and Development, according to the contract. The contract was part of the Chinese communist government’s “Belt and Road Initiatives” and “Go Global” efforts to promote China’s role in international infrastructure development and investment. When she appeared in the lobby of Mar-a-Lago on March 30, she said she was there to attend a “United Nations Friendship Event” between China and the United States, federal agents said. That’s when her cover was blown. No such event was scheduled for that night. Further, prosecutors said, that wasn’t the story she told to skirt security. She got past the security checkpoints by claiming she was a club member who wanted to use the pool, Secret Service agents said. Believing she was related to a club member named Zhang, Mar-a-Lago managers waved her in. Once inside, however, they realized she didn’t belong and summoned agents. Despite Lee’s view that the event featuring Trump-Grau was nixed for political reasons, those who organized — and canceled it — said their decision had nothing to do with the Russian investigation. Instead, organizers of the gala that was to benefit a Palm Beach Gardens children's charity, said they canceled it because they feared it had been hijacked by Wellington resident Cindy Yang. She posted a flier for the event on a website she used to sell travel packages to Chinese nationals interested in meeting Trump or other government officials. In the texts Zhang exchanged with Lee, she expressed no interest in going to tourist attractions like Disney World. Other than the White House, she said she had no interest in sightseeing in Washington, declaring “there’s nothing worth doing in Washington.” Instead, she said wanted to meet important people. “Let's say, after the White House tour, can you organize something like meeting with the legislators on that day, for example. Er, ... some Congresspeople .. . or the Congress,” she wrote. “Have a chat with some of them, or watch their ... or watch their section, something like that. Can you organize an activity like that?” But, after learning the Mar-a-Lago event was canceled, she expressed little interest in Lee’s suggestion that she attend an event in Detroit, featuring former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, particularly after she learned it was in Detroit. And, as federal prosecutors pointed out, in the texts Zhang told Lee to cancel her trip. Instead, she paid $2,000 for a plane ticket and booked a a room at the Red Roof Inn for one night and then stayed at The Colony Hotel in Palm Beach. Since her arrest, Zhang has been held at the Broward County jail. She is to be sentenced on charges of lying to a federal agent and gaining access to a restricted building on Nov. 22.

WPTV first broke the news of her arrest - the charges are the same that were detailed in the initial criminal complaint Zhang faces up to one year in prison for entering restricted property She faces up to five years in prison for lying to a Secret Service agent Zhang was arrested at Mar-a-Lago on Saturday a hard drive and a thumb drive with malware on it President Donald Trump was in town staying at Mar-a-Lago that same weekend A federal prosecutor testified at her bail hearing on April 8 that Secret Services agents found a device to detect hidden cameras while searching her hotel room at the Colony Hotel on Palm Beach along with an additional nine USB drives and five USB cards Zhang's bail hearing was continued to next Monday WPTV NewsChannel 5 will have a crew at her next court appearance and bring updates throughout the hearing YujingZhang Indictment 04122019 19cr80056 by Contact Five on Scribd a Chinese national who entered the club carrying four cell phones has raised another issue: the president’s weekend clubhouse is absolutely ripe for foreign espionage according to security experts and Mar-a-Lago members alike the only surprise is that an incident like this hadn’t happened sooner because profit is Trump’s first priority rather than required the Secret Service to defer to Mar-a-Lago staffers and allow in some visitors who are not on the list.” Visitors have described instances in which Mar-a-Lago security personnel will make exceptions for people not on the list “Usually it’s the Mar-a-Lago people that are giving the go-ahead,” a person familiar with the property told the Post the longtime society columnist for the Palm Beach Daily News who has covered Mar-a-Lago for years “It’s bound to happen” that people will slip through “There’s hundreds of people coming and going when there’s an event and half of them are members—they’re not used to being stopped.” holding tickets that cost them hundreds or thousands of dollars these galas largely drew guests from Palm Beach’s pastel-colored social scene after a decline in that traditional banquet business the galas are more commonly aimed at Trump’s fervid political fan base That busy schedule is what Trump wanted for Mar-a-Lago according to one former senior Trump administration official Trump did not want Mar-a-Lago to become a place where visitors became uncomfortable So he kept it as it was—and made his aides uncomfortable instead “The president has no idea who most of the people around him at the club are,” said another White House official speaking on the condition of anonymity to describe private conversations who allegedly claimed she had come from Shanghai to attend a “United Nations Friendship Event” that was not actually scheduled experts say the incident highlights just how insanely lax the security setup is at the club told the Post it was “very disturbing” for someone “with that shoddy of a story to get by two or three levels of security” at a place where the president could be in attendance “How in the heck does that happen?” (Anderson added that while he didn’t know if Zhang’s activity was sanctioned by the Chinese government “there’s no doubt it’s some type of potential intelligence operation.”) “The Mar-a-Lago club management determines which members and guests are granted access to the property.” (Zhang’s lawyer did not respond to a request for comment.) “If I’m an intelligence service I’m going to pay the membership fee get someone with a clean background and have them become a member of the community,” Cohen said “I’m going to have them bring in guests on a regular basis I now have close proximity to the president’s staff and maybe even the president himself.” And the risks abound even without crossing paths with the president “a foreign spy might find Mar-a-Lago a gold mine—even if the spy never laid eyes on Trump the president has said these fears are overblown and the arrest is much ado about nothing: This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from —The Ivanka e-mail bombshell — The key to understanding the dark heart of the Mueller report is counter-intelligence — Why some of the biggest names in publishing are resisting Apple’s pull — The art world’s ultimate cage match Looking for more?

Heat advisories were in effect for nine administrative regions yesterday afternoon as warm southwesterly winds pushed temperatures above 38°C in parts of southern Taiwan the Central Weather Administration (CWA) said Tainan’s Yujing District (玉井) had recorded the day’s highest temperature of 39.7°C though the measurement will not be included in Taiwan’s official heat records since Yujing is an automatic rather than manually operated weather station Highs recorded in other areas were 38.7°C in Kaohsiung’s Neimen District (內門) 38.2°C in Chiayi City and 38.1°C in Pingtung’s Sandimen Township (三地門) Photo: Screen grab from the Central Weather Administration The spell of scorching weather is expected to continue through the first half of the day today an incoming weather front is expected to bring rain and slightly cooler temperatures to the north A second weather system is forecast to arrive on Thursday bringing additional rain to much of the country through Saturday a quake measuring 5.6 on the Richter scale struck off the coast of Hualien County at 10:40am yesterday There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries The epicenter of the temblor was in the Pacific Ocean which gauges the actual effect of a seismic event Taitung and parts of Nantou and Changhua counties where it measured a 4 on Taiwan’s 7-tier intensity scale Level 3 shaking was also felt in parts of Taichung while intensity levels of 2 and 1 were recorded in New Taipei City and Taipei respectively The temblor was followed by a smaller magnitude 4.6 earthquake which struck in waters 23.8km to the north-northeast of Hualien County Hall at 11:07am Overview: Spirit World #6 closes out the story of getting Cassandra Cain back to the living world This issue also asks some thought-provoking questions about life and legacy We finally see the backstory of the antagonist of this run The demon ghost was an artist in the living world by the name of Wan Yujing and she thought that she could obtain immortality through her verses She died and was admitted to the spirit world and that is what our poet has been waiting for Now we see this demon ghost facing off with Xanthe Zhou and she believes that the life essences of Xanthe and the others will give her that power The Jade Court is watching and recounting that this is impossible without them Constantine and Xanthe attack the General while Cass takes the fight to Yujing Yujing goes to absorb Cass while Xanthe and Constantine are beaten back by Gilded General Xanthe is offered a chance to save everyone if they only offer a pledge of fealty to the Jade Court Xanthe is able to hold the General at bay with what appears to be verdant sorceress magic and they are able to convince Yujing that with all the soul-absorbing she is doing she is losing touch with who she really is Xanthe convinces Yujing to let the souls go The Jade Court takes this chance to attack Yujing themselves Xanthe stands up to them and actually agrees to join the Jade Court themself and Constantine and Cass both return to the living world Yoshi Yoshitani variant cover for Spirit World #6 There really is not anything different about the art in Spirit World #6 compared to prior issues With the use of colors and otherworldly line-work the mystical qualities of the characters and the location are on full display Being the only non-magical character in this story is given a magical look with her flowing costume as compared to her usual design but this story actually shines in the theme; that theme being legacy after death It is common for various aspects of the deceased to be forgotten in time we see the living world forgetting Wan Yujing but we also see Yujing forgetting herself as well She has absorbed so many souls that she has a hard time remembering who she is When Xanthe convinces her to release the captive souls and that is visually depicted in her design She is shown as human for the first time outside of the flashback we see in the beginning of this issue As annoying as it was to read this character in the early issues it is fitting to put this backstory in this issue where the theme is finally revealed The creators are hoping that the action and magic would capture the readers so they would stick around for the point of the story I think it would have been better if this story was released as a graphic novel from the beginning but I find the art to be more compelling in a collected format even though there are disadvantages to that format as well Editor’s Note: DC Comics provided TBU with an advanced copy of this comic for review purposes.
