Since you want to read Chinese classic works, I'd like to recommend Journey to the West to you.
The book, full of imagination, is very popular in China. You will find it so humorous that you won't miss any part of the whole story. It describes how Sun Wukong and other main characters experienced different kinds of difficulties during their journey to the west. It also shows how they worked together and managed to overcome the difficulties one after another.
After reading the book, you will not only learn something about Chinese culture but also learn to chase your dreams and never give up. I'm sure you'll like it.
Yours,
Li Hui
