China has also pro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )duced many cartoon TV plays and movies. Among all the Chinese cartoon characters, I like Monkey King and Nezha best because they are brave and clever. They can beat all their enemies, no matter how ferocious they are. I believe you will fall in love with them if you see them one day.
Yours,
