Journey to the West (Full Color Youth Edition)

Wu Cheng'en, the author of "Journey to the West", whose courtesy name is Ruzhong and whose nickname is Sheyangshan, was originally from Lianshui, Jiangsu Province, and later moved to Shanyang, Huai'an (now Huai'an, Jiangsu Province). Wu Chengen was smart and quick-thinking since he was a child. He was famous in his hometown for his literary talent as a boy. However, he did not go well in the examination room and in his official career. It was not until middle age that he was able to obtain the title of Gongsheng, and it took almost seven years before he obtained the humble official position of Prime Minister of Changxing County, Zhejiang Province. This experience developed his arrogant and cynical character. He has been interested in curious things since he was a child, and as he gets older, he becomes even more interested in them and learns more about them.
