The Patriot Yue Fei, released in Japan as The Last Hero,[1] is a Chinese television series based on the life of Yue Fei, a Song dynasty general widely regarded as a patriot and national hero in Chinese culture for his role in the Jurchen campaigns against the Song dynasty. While the plot is based on historical sources, it also includes elements of fiction and draws ideas from the novel Shuo Yue Quanzhuan (說岳全傳) and other folktales on the general's life.

Huang Xiaoming stars as the titular character in the biopic, which started shooting in 2011. Budget of the series exceeded ¥200 million (roughly US$30 million).[2] The first episode premiered on 4 July 2013.[3]
