Synopsis

"Journey to the West" is the first romantic chapter-length novel about gods and demons in ancient China. The book is based on the historical event of "Tang Monk's Study of Buddhist Scriptures", and through the author's artistic processing, it profoundly depicts the social reality at that time. It mainly describes the birth of Sun Wukong, and then meets Monk Tang, Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha. He subdues demons along the way and protects Monk Tang on his journey to the west to obtain Buddhist scriptures. After going through eighty-one hardships, he finally reaches the Western Heaven and meets the Tathagata Buddha, and finally the Five Saints come true.

Reader comments

When I see the characters in the book, I also think of my own relatives and friends. Aren't they also experiencing various hardships and adventures like the characters in the book? Especially when I saw the Dragon King rescuing Chen Guangrui and reuniting their family, I was really moved. This reminds me of those people in life who help us, and we should also be grateful. This book is really worth reading!
