The Moment with Classical Zhang Ying

We have four great classic novels in China. The Journey to the West---the story about monkey king is one of these great classics. Many Chinese know this story, not only from reading the book but also from daily conversation. This story became a popular TV series after 1986 and now, more than 30 years later, is still watched every year through rebroadcast. And similar to other Chinese people, I like this story even after reading the book and watching the TV series many times. Whether watching the old, low technology, unclear picture, the TV show is still very interesting and moves me which can be quite surprising. So now, I just wrote down my feelings about this story without explaining the story. This represents a true friendship between a book and a person.
