Features: "Hong Hai'er," the "child star" from "Journey to the West," comes to the human world to become a disciple of geneticist Dr. Sha and learns modern biotechnology. Together with Dr. Sha's daughter, Sha Lili, he proposes the project of cloning the Six-Eared Macaque. Sun Wukong worries that if the Six-Eared Macaque, who was supposedly killed by him with a single strike years ago, were to be cloned, he would seek revenge. Sun Wukong sends the monkey spirits Jing Dou Dou and others down the mountain to obstruct the plan. After an intense struggle, Hong Hai'er and his companions ultimately overcome the monkey spirits' interference and persuade Jing Dou Dou to volunteer for the work of the cloning "incubator," successfully cloning a new Six-Eared Macaque. The work features an original concept, a bizarre and winding plot, and after reading it, readers can not only gain literary appreciation but also enrich their knowledge of modern biotechnology.
