Overview

Journey to the West (西游记), written by Wu Cheng'en during the Ming Dynasty, is one of China's Four Great Classical Novels and a cornerstone of Chinese literature. This bilingual edition, translated and compiled by Song Deli, offers readers a unique opportunity to explore the original Chinese text alongside its English translation. The novel narrates the legendary pilgrimage of Tang Monk and his disciples—Sun Wukong (the Monkey King), Zhu Bajie (Pigsy), and Sha Wujing (Sandy)—as they journey westward to retrieve Buddhist scriptures. Filled with mythical creatures, moral lessons, and thrilling adventures, this masterpiece reflects themes of perseverance, redemption, and the triumph of good over evil.
