Monkey King
Wukong, better known as the Monkey King, is the main character of the ancient Chinese classic Journey to the West. His tale is told with a modern twist in Wukong: A Biography, an online book.
"This is the world I've come to, fought for and loved. I don't care how it would end."
The cry of Wukong influenced readers when it was first published online in the early 2000s and is regarded as a milestone in Chinese online literature. The story has been adapted into a film, which will be released in July. A printed version of the book has also been published with behind-the-scene stories of the film.
