This is a collection of tender stories that retell Journey to the West from the perspective of monsters.
Here, there are little demons patrolling at the foot of the mountain, children lighting fires in caves, and handymen weeding in the heaven. They do not have the magical power to soar into the clouds, or the magic to control the wind and rain. What they have is just hard work day after day, persistence in obscurity, and the simple desire to be seen and remembered.
This book selects little monsters from every corner of "Journey to the West" to re-examine that period of history we are familiar with through their eyes.
Every little demon has its own story, and every story contains the bitterness and warmth of being a working man. They may not have the ability to change the world, but they have the courage to live seriously; they may never be remembered by history, but they shine in their own corner.
