S
un Wukong is a very clever monkey. He is so called Monkey King. Although he is a king, he was
working for Jade Emperor. Sun Wukong felt honorable and successful to work hard and play hard.
Jade Emperor does trust him deeply. Sun Wukong was doing as prime minister in heaven.
Sun Wukong has just finished two missions for Jade Emperor in two days. Since he is the master of the
“seventy-two methods of transformation”, he turned himself to be an eagle for flying in sky. Or he used his
“somersault cloud” for travelling long distance in a single leap. First mission: he went to the east for Japan’s
ninja training. It is because Jade Emperor wanted his soldiers to have more about ninja skills. Sun Wukong
taught soldiers on patience and concealed weapon.
The second mission was asked to the north. Sun Wukong went to Russia. Here he learned Russia’s chess.
Chess playing can make people to have peaceful emotion for solving problem. Jade Emperor wanted his
generals with smart thinking minds.
Jade Emperor is a Buddhist. He believed that the original Buddhist scriptures could increase himself and his
heaven’s power. Therefore, he arranged a young Buddhist monk – Xuanzang, he led Sun Wukong, Zhu
Bajie and Sha Wujing went to west for seeking of true scriptures. This time the third mission was more
difficult than before since Xuanzang and other team members had to walk to India. Walking represented
their sincere respect on India culture.
At the same time, Sun Wukong had to work for Queen Mother. He is one of Queen Mother’s close
friends. They always share the food tasting experiences with each other. Queen Mother gave Sun Wukong
the grand peaches which fruits bearing every three thousand years. One day, Queen Mother asked Sun
Wukong to discuss about her coming birthday party. She did not want to serve the peaches more. She
preferred something fresh and special ingredients greeting her all best friends. Sun Wukong suddenly got an
idea to west side for special food. He flied to United Kingdom for fresh strawberry, United States for turkey,
France for champagne and Italy for pizza. Sun Wukong believed that the food he brought back were the
ever wonderfully serving cuisine for Queen Mother’s birthday party.
After the party, Sun Wukong flied to join Xuanzang and other members immediately. During the trip, the
team met many different monsters who wanted the true scripture too. The monsters even wanted to eat
Xuanzang’s flesh. Xuanzang and members fought against the seduced tricks and lures. Eventually, Xuanzang
got the true scriptures and translated into Chinese. Everyone in heaven are living safely and nicely.
