About This Novel

I, the six-eared macaque, am the most embarrassing existence in the world. There is no guidance from a master, no bloodline inheritance, and no backer to protect him. My only talent is "imitation" - I can imitate the exercises and magical powers that I have seen once. I envy the monkey named Sun Wukong. He worshiped Patriarch Bodhi and achieved seventy-two transformations, received the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, and was granted the title of Great Sage. Why? Why was he born with everything? I want to be him. I want to take his place. So I started imitating everything about him. He learned the seventy-two transformations, and so did I; he made trouble in the Dragon Palace, and so did I; he went to heaven, and so did I. Until one day, I really stood in front of him - the Monkey King who had been pressed under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years, covered in dust, but still unruly. He looked at me and smiled: "You want to be me? Do you know how tiring it is to be me?" At that moment I suddenly understood - what I envied was not his magical powers and status, but his unrestrained energy. But he himself has long been trapped by the four words "Monkey King". I gave up the idea of replacing him. But I didn't give up practicing. I want to walk my own path, not anyone's shadow or someone's substitute. Later, he put on a golden hoop to protect Tang Monk on his journey westward. I was in the dark, blocking for him those enemies that he couldn't kill, shouldn't kill, but wanted to kill. Later, he became a victorious Buddha. And I became the first "six-eared macaque who is not the Monkey King" in the world. Freedom is the most powerful magical power.
