A good way to revisit a classic. A great article. The Journey to the West can be written in reverse. The four travelers deliver the scriptures to the Tang Dynasty. Along the way, they vanquish demons and monsters until they reach the Flowing Sand River. Sha Wujing becomes a demon, and Zhu Bajie is proposed to in marriage at Gao Village. The marriage proposal.
With its novel subject matter, imaginative ideas, rich content, and powerful writing style, this is a great book.
I recently reread the original Journey to the West. This book is very close to the original content, and the author's use of plain language makes it even more vivid and interesting. Plus, having watched the TV series countless times, I can even match each section to the episodes, which is really fun and interesting. Keep up the good work, author!
In the author's writing, since Pangu separated heaven and earth, the four continents have been laid out. Aolai Kingdom is near the sea, and in its center stands a magnificent mountain. At the summit is a unique and mysterious stone. It stands 36 feet 5 inches tall and 24 feet in circumference. It has nine orifices and eight openings, corresponding to the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams.
It's a classic I read as a child, and the author has translated it into modern Chinese. The writing is fluent, easy to understand, and faithfully reproduces the original, which is quite rare. The work is called "A New Interpretation of Journey to the West." I still hope to see a re-creation based on this work, just like "A Chinese Odyssey," which can become a new classic.
A second-year junior high student said it wasn't very appealing, and my assessment is: First in junior high, students read the classic novel Journey to the West; the fill-in-the-blank list on the monthly exam was filled with high marks. Translating texts helps students understand things; in the dark of night, they diligently memorize and translate.
Writing spin-offs of classic novels is a bit of a disadvantage; you have to bring a fresh and interesting aspect to the plot, language, and descriptions… otherwise, it's a waste of effort. Especially regarding character development, you might exaggerate from the original work.
Ahhh... I love it so much... Revisiting a classic! I love Sun Wukong so much, one somersault covers 108,000 li! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
To write Journey to the West so exquisitely requires great courage from the author. I greatly admire the author's superb imagination and excellent writing skills. The story is so vivid, engaging, and thought-provoking that it is definitely worth reading.
It's very well written. I really like this kind of Journey to the West. Keep it up!
