    I was absolutely amazed that the original monk existed and he secretly came to Nalanda to study buddhism and then he was grandly welcomed by the Chinese emperor. Well, I hope the monkey King story was taken up by Chinese scholars to spice things up 🤣, I mean who wouldn’t love magic and wonders.

      Journey to the West is considered one of the 4 classic Chinese novels and is probably most popular of them for centuries already.
