Features: There are people in this world whose strange hearts and thoughts are never understood by anyone. Who knows that the clearer one becomes, the more painful it is, and the more painful one becomes, the happier one is? What is the truth? Profound love is the greatest loneliness. For what reason do we pursue endlessly?—For thousands of years, for tens of thousands of years, the birth and death, love and hate of humans have been repeated over and over again. Even if hundreds or thousands of years pass, what change can there be? "I want the sky to no longer cover my eyes, I want the earth to no longer bury my heart, I want all living beings to understand my meaning, and I want all the Buddhas to vanish into thin air!" This quote is from The Journey of Monkey King, a work hailed as the "best online literature" and widely circulated online. It is an outstanding work influenced by both Journey to the West and A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Cinderella, but it is not a simple copy of either. Interpreting The Journey of Monkey King is a matter of individual perspective, so you truly have to read it to find out how it is.
