When talking about popular Chinese novels(长篇小说), Journey to the West is often at the top of people’s memory. It is a classic novel by Wu Cheng’en and came out in the 16th century. It is one of the most famous Chinese works in the West.
Its popularity(普及)has made it an inspiration(灵感)for many Western works. Fred Ho, an American musician, wrote an opera called Journey Beyond the West: The New Adventures of Monkey.
But how has Journey to the West been popular for centuries
James Trapp is a writer from Britain. He thinks that Sun Wukong is the reason for the novel’s popularity. “In many ways, the role Monkey King comes from a folk hero(民间的英雄), “Trapp wrote. In these ways, the Monkey King is similar to Western folk heroes such as Huckleberry Finn. However, he has been popular for much longer than many of these heroes. Journey to the West is very similar to famous Western stories, and that has made Journey to the West popular with Western readers for centuries.

A Story I Know
As an important part of traditional Chinese culture, legends are of great importance for students to know about national culture and history. Recently, I read a famous story called Yu Gong Moves a Mountain.
Once upon a time, Yu Gong decided to move the mountain because it stopped people from passing. One day, a man told Yu Gong that he was too weak to move the mountain. After the man finished talking, Yu Gong continued moving the mountain instead of caring about the man’s words. For a long time, many people laughed at Yu Gong and thought he was silly. However, to their surprise, Yu Gong and his family moved the mountain at last.
This story reminds me that we should never give up when we meet difficulties.
