Kua Fu is one of the mythical and legendary figures of ancient China.
A long, long time ago, by a giant named Kwa Fu. He wanted the sun to shine on earth all the time, so he went chasing the sun until it set.
The closer he got to the sun, the thirstier he felt. He wanted to drink water so badly that he went to drink from the Yellow River and the Wei River, but there was not enough water in the Yellow River and the Wei River to drink, so he went to drink from the great lake to the north. But before he could get there, he died of thirst halfway there. When he died, his body was transformed into a mountain and his walking stick into a peach forest.
