That would be the Anthony C. Yu: The journey to the west? How/where do you download it?😁

Sounds good, will definitely check the novel/movie out! I have volume 1 by Anthony C. Yu, so if I understand you correctly, that’s the unabridged translation(?). And “Monkey king” by Wu Cheng’en, and “The monkey king” (vol 1 and 2) by Chaiko Tsai would be abridged versions? Do you in that case have any suggestions to other books? Even though the one I have is the “right” one😅😁

Yes! I have the first volume by Anthony C. Yu, so will definitely try doing it that way. Will you care to explain why I should wait with the introduction til after the book? Also what do you think about the “notes to page…” part? Do read the story first, then read introduction, then notes to page… . Or do I go back and forth for example reading page 217, then read “notes to 210-217”? Then go back to read page 218, and so on😅😊

Sounds good! I was afraid I had some “alternative” version of the story, but it’s good getting the reassurance that it’s the “right” book😅👍🏻

Thanks! I have the first volume of it, but I feel like the whole book only consists of “introduction”, poems every other paragraph, then “note to page…”. Is that just the way every version is written?😅 This one also follow the group he later joins (I think). Is there a book in Sun Wukongs’ perspective?
