Moral of the story: No matter how strong we are, we must learn humility and patience.

For those who are interested, Wukong is the lead character of a Chinese novel dated to 15 century. The author of the novel “ Wu Cheng En” is a scholar back to 15 century. Wu loves to read since he is small and is often praised as one who read all the books of that time. Wu spent most of his life to become an official of government to utilise his knowledge and serve the country. He always failed the official examination and when he finally become an official, he is already more than 50 years old. He only hold the position for 2 years and got jailed because being blackmail by other officials that Wu is corrupted. After his name is cleared, he got released from jail and he travelled around the world and wrote few novels. Journey to the west is one of them. As he does not have any descendant, most of the novels are lost throughout history and only completed novel kept is journey to the west due to the popularity. His creation of Wukong is the way of him challenging the policy and system of the country where the talented one will not get his opportunity.

As a Chinese, I would like to add that Sun Wukong never thought of himself as a god, it's just that people think he is a god.

Wukong: "Here is my long list of super powers..."
Buddha's hand: "That's cute."

Anyone here after black myth wukong dropped??

[jfatsnorlax]

The staff isn't just a weapon. It was a pillar supporting the dragon king's palace. Even reduced in size, it was still tremendously heavy, but the only weapon he decided could make full use of his strength.

[brainblastmemes]

Hands down one of the most interesting gods ever created.

[brenandemossita]

Im happy you are discussing other gods. So many mythology channels constantly discuss Norse, Roman and Greek mythology and there is so much more to learn from other cultures.

[shaozhulei]

People who going to play Black Myth Wukong should have to watch this video first.

[SmoothCriminalPlayz]

As a Chinese I can confirm this is the correct story and a transition from the Chinese/original story❤❤

[sunwukong]

I’m glad that Sun Wukong is getting more coverage!

[powerbar]

As an Asian guy, Wukong/Goku is considered Humanity last hope or the people's Champ for the only one able to prove one biggest hit to Jade Emperor himself "Not all God is good and Not all Demon is Bad" after single-handedly put Jade heavenly Palace almost to rubbles before Buddha appear to stop Wukong. Same like now, "Not all good people are good and not all bad people are bad".

[anshide]

I’m Chinese, this story basically carved in every Chinese person. The fiction of <<journey to the west>> has two or more levels of stories, one on the surface which is wu Kong and his master walk to India to bring the real Buddhism to China. The underneath story to Chinese politics, corruption of the system, revolution, lost of humanity, human are no better than monsters, full of sarcasm and black fable stories. The author told such a dark story in a fantasy way. Definitely masterpiece of Chinese literature history!

[kxlkkut]

This is China's first 3A-level game masterpiece. The production team spent several years traveling around China's famous mountains and ancient temples, scanning various reliefs, statues of gods and ghosts... They studied the costumes, props, buildings, the shapes and meanings of gods and ghosts in Journey to the West and the era in great depth, as well as the profound Buddhist Zen, all of which are reflected in the game. This is a game masterpiece that exudes a rich and profound Chinese culture and Buddhist teachings~

Who's here from Black Myth: Wukong ??

[ultrainstinctftw]

Watching this before playing BLACK MYTH WUKONG

[abdulearrington]

i wonder how many people recently watching this now

[sihouhisou]

1:47 A large body of evidence proves that Sun Wukong did not originate from the Indian mythological figure Hanuman. Apart from both being monkeys, there are few detailed similarities between the two characters. It is well known that the original story of Journey to the West is based on the Tang Dynasty monk Xuanzang's journey from Central Asia to South Asia. Due to the Himalayas blocking the way, it was impossible to travel directly. Xuanzang endured many hardships to obtain Buddhist scriptures from South Asia, which also proves that it was nearly impossible for ancient Indian culture to spread to China by crossing the Himalayas. Moreover, Sun Wukong has many documented Chinese folk tales that serve as his original image. The image of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong, existed in folk stories and popular beliefs several centuries before the novel Journey to the West was completed.Hanuman, on the other hand, is a figure from Hindu mythology, and it was very late when this myth spread to the Central Plains of China. Thus, in terms of time, Hanuman is not the prototype for Sun Wukong.

The story of Sun Wukong is the most well-known mythological story to the Chinese people. This novel brings many different thoughts to people's minds, such as heavenly gods are not necessarily good people, having power does not mean you can do whatever you want, even the great and the good do wrong, people have to go through trials and tribulations before they can gain something, and you need to be alert to the omnipresent bureaucracy.

Nice, gonna watch this before i play black myth wukong in 10 hrs.
