The long TV series "Zorro" produced in Spain and introduced by CCTV allows our audience to relive the classic legendary stories while experiencing exotic风情风情.
The story of Zorro first appeared in 1919 in the serialized popular magazine story "The Curse of Capistrano" by American writer Johnston McCulley. The location where the Zorro story takes place is in California, a land that has changed hands three times (Spain, Mexico, USA), during the period when Spain ruled Mexico in the 18th and 19th centuries. The protagonist Diego is a human hero like Robin Hood, who is willing to uphold justice, eliminate violence, help the poor, and rob from the rich. He is the son of a landlord, yet he chooses to fight for justice.
Chinese audiences are not unfamiliar with the story of Zorro. This legendary character comes from the 1919 serialized story "The Curse of Capistrano" by American writer Johnston McCulley. It describes the period when Spain ruled Mexico in the 18th and 19th centuries. At that time, California was still under Spanish colonial rule. The last governor, La Fleur, used high-pressure dictatorial rule against the local people, causing them great suffering. The noble Diego stood up as a masked knight to oppose tyranny, thus giving birth to "The Legend of Zorro." In McCulley's pen, Zorro (which means "fox" in Spanish) is based on the story of an English legendary figure combined with the deeds of three heroes during the Mexican Revolution. Therefore, he must transform into Zorro and act secretly. Zorro's outfit includes a black mask, black hat, black cloak, black steed, sword, and whip.
Zorro means "fox" in Spanish. Whenever this black desert fox appears mysteriously, he always leaves behind his signature mark, the letter "Z," drawn with his sharp sword.
