The Twins of Destiny was a 1991 animated television series produced by French writer Jean Chalopin. It followed the quest of two children, Jules and Julie, in their travels across Eurasia seeking to overthrow the Empress Dowager of China, and consequently, release their fathers from imprisonment. The animation was translated and introduced to China in mid-1990s. The story begins in Peking, China in 1895. Two children, Jules , and Julie are born, fulfilling the first part of a prophecy foretold by the soothsayer Laozi. That prophecy describes two children, born to different parents, but in... the same place at the same hour whose mothers both perish at birth ending the tyrannical rule of the Empress of China. In addition, the prophecy also states that this dethronement to occur, the so-called "Twins of Destiny" must replace two stone tablets at the Temple of Heavenly Harmony in the Forbidden City. As foretold, this would lead to collapse of the Empire. The children are also known as the children of the Moon Goddess.
