Do western children like the Monkey King
Fast reading
In November 1979, pupils in England were able to watch a new TV program called Monkey. Most of them were hearing this story for the first time. However, this story is not new to Chinese children. The Monkey King or Sun Wukong is the main character in the traditional Chinese book Journey to the West.
The Monkey King is not just any normal
monkey. In fact, he sometimes does not
even look like a monkey! This is because he
can make 72 changes to his shape and size,
turning himself into different animals and
objects. But unless he can hide his tail, he cannot turn himself into a person. To fight bad people, the Monkey King uses a magic stick. Sometimes he can make the stick so small that he can keep it in his ear. At other times, he is able to make it big and long.
The Monkey King has excited the children of China for many years. And as soon as the TV program came out more than 30 years ago. Western children became interested in reading this story because the clever Monkey King keeps fighting to help the weak and never gives up.
