Jing Tianming (Chinese: 荆天明; pinyin: jīng tiān míng)is one of the main protagonists of the Chinese television series, The Legend of Qin (animated TV series). His age is 12, and his clothes are nothing more than simple peasant or street kid garments. He was originally the son of a yet unknown swordsman. Stricken by a curse at a very young age, he was taken on a journey with Ge Nie, in order to find a cure. Throughout his journey, he encounters many friends and foes, and ultimately matures into something greater than a swordsman.
Roles
Season 1
Tianming is introduced as a 12-year-old boy who follows around a calm and powerful swordsman named Ge Nie. They journey together and Ge Nie is considered by Tianming as ‘Uncle’. They first encounter 300 heavy armored soldiers and Ge Nie shows off his sword skills causing Tianming to be in awe and wanting to be as strong as his Uncle. But due to Ge Nie being injured in the fight, Tianming attempts to find someone to help his Uncle. On the journey of finding help he ends up meeting Xiang Shaoyu who becomes his ‘Big Brother’, Gao Yue who Tianming falls for and starts to truly care for her, and Duanmu Rong who is a sister-like figure to Gao Yue and an intelligent medic who saves Ge Nie. Duanmu Rong, Gao Yue and Master Ban (a character Tianming has a playful relationship with) is all from the renowned Mohists.
Personality
Tianming is a bright and cheerful boy, at the age of 12. He is playful and mischievous though protective of his friends. He has a crush on Gao Yue (Yue`Er), a girl under the care of Mohists, though he thinks that her big sister, Duanmu Rong, is a cold person whose face is ‘stiff as a board’. He treats Ge Nie as his father, and aspires to become a swordsman just like him. He also has a continuous rivalry with Xiang ShaoYu, and a playful relationship with Master Ban. He has a ‘passionate’ love for food and immediately goes berserk if someone eats his food or destroys it. Although quite shallow in certain aspects, his loyalty, braveness and innocence stand out as some of his more positive traits. Perhaps the most driving aspect of his character, is his belief that his father will return to him one day, thus motivating him to become one of the most famous swordsmen in the world.
