Yellow Fever

Gold!! A cry heralding the discovery of the precious yellow metal sets men’s hearts racing with anticipation of untold riches. They came from all corners of the world, from lands far away in a desperate effort to realise their dreams. They savagely wrenched the earth apart in their search for the elusive mineral hiding amongst mountains and rivers of a hostile yet beautiful landscape. Like insects scurrying across a corpse searching for treasures deep within, mankind throws himself upon the ground in a feeding frenzy. Mere mortals tearing at the earth in an effort to locate the riches clutched within its bosom. But Mother Earth does not render her treasures easily, steadfastly ignoring the feverish cries of the damned. Countless men loudly proclaim the precious metal is worth more than human life, including their own. ‘YELLOW FEVER’ Wading through the aftermath of the hordes came another man from a distant land. A man whose skin was deemed to be the colour of the mineral they all desperately seek. This man too had heard the cry from afar off. Wu Lee instinctively knew this was the chance he had been waiting for. The man from China knew it was the only opportunity for a better life, but would the price be too high? For not only does the Chinaman have to survive in the harsh environment, he had to also endure the prejudice and hatred from his fellow man. His only crime was being born of a different culture and a different skin colour. ‘YELLOW FEVER’ Wu Lee does discover untold riches, but in the most unlikely place…within himself. His battered tired feet will never again trudge the scarred landscape in a futile search for the treasures below the surface. For Wu Lee to embrace the riches of the Universe, he has to transcend from the bondage of the mortal dimension to the freedom of the Celestial Heights. He does this by a chance meeting with an unlikely mentor, a young European girl who leads him on the pathway to eternity. This is not only a story of life and the hardships endured on the goldfields of New Zealand. It is also a story of consciousness. A story which will take the reader on an incredible journey to a place feared by all and visited by so few, a journey deep within our very selves. Do you have the courage to step on the pathway to eternal freedom and to embrace the power of the Universe? Those who do not, falter by the wayside only to be consumed by a hell of their own making. YELLOW FEVER…Is it an affliction of the body or of the mind??
