Features: Although the entire book is centered on the story of Tang Sanzang's pilgrimage to the West, its main theme is to praise the heroic spirit of daring to defy tyranny, bravely fighting, despising hardships, and pursuing success. The idealized character that vividly embodies this creative theme is Sun Wukong. It narrates stories of Sun Wukong's birth, quest for enlightenment, (entering the Dragon Palace), and (causing trouble in Heaven).
