Wukong Has Grown Up
by A Gong
About This Novel
The work deeply analyzes the "real and fake Monkey King" incident in "Journey to the West" and believes that it reflects the intensification of the conflict between master and disciple and the growth of Sun Wukong. The author points out that this plot is a turning point in which Sun Wukong gradually gets rid of his recklessness and irritability after being expelled many times, and becomes more mature, steady, decent and humane. He explores the possibility that the false Wukong is a clone of Sun Wukong's "two minds", and suggests that Guanyin Bodhisattva and Tathagata Buddha played subtle roles in it. In addition, the text also uses the story of the Flame Mountain and the Sacrifice Kingdom to show that in the confrontation with monsters such as the Bull Demon King and the Nine-Headed Insect, Sun Wukong's principles of life, communication methods and even his understanding of faith have been significantly improved, and his image has finally become closer to that of a "high monk". The writing is hearty and hearty, and the viewpoint is quite novel.
