The novel "Monkey King Watch" is based on the myths and legends of Huangshan Mountain in China. It tells the poignant and touching love story between Sun Wukong and the mortal woman Zhangzhu.
According to legend, Huangshan Mountain is known as "the most amazing mountain in the world". There are monkeys who have been practicing in the mountain for thousands of years and have great magical powers. It accidentally met the beautiful and kind-hearted Zhangzhu, fell in love with it, and transformed into a scholar to propose marriage. The two elders of the Zhao family agreed to the marriage. However, the newlywed Night Spirit Monkey shows up drunk, and Zhangzhu flees in fear. After that, the monkey searched for the palm bead but could not find it, so he could only climb the cliff of Lion Peak in Huangshan Mountain every day, looking at the direction of Xianyuan Village where the palm bead is located. Over the years, it finally turned into the famous "Monkey Viewing the Sea" stone scene.
Before Sun Wukong set foot on the journey to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures, he heard this legend and felt deep sympathy for the monkey's plight. By chance, he came to Huangshan and unexpectedly fell into a fate similar to that of the monkey. Sun Wukong and Zhangzhu met and fell in love, but he scared Zhangzhu away when he revealed his true form after drinking. He searched everywhere for traces of the palm beads, and despite many hardships, he never gave up. In the process, he experienced the sweetness and bitterness of love, and also felt the pain and helplessness of losing his lover. In the end, Sun Wukong's affection and persistence moved the world, and he and Zhangzhu were reunited. Their love story became an eternal legend, and the stone scene of "Monkey Watching the Sea" also witnessed their true love.
