Sun Wukong — the Monkey King, Great Sage Equal of Heaven, born from a stone egg on the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit. Rebel, disciple, trickster, Buddhist saint: this is the complete guide to Chinese literature's most unbeatable hero.
App card (verbatim, as published in the Vizlings app): "The proud and mischievous Monkey…"
Public bio (verbatim): "The Monkey King himself, loud as thunder and twice as fast. Sun Wukong holds court among the cloud mountains, trading riddles, boasts and the occasional genuine lesson in staying unbeatable."
Born from a stone egg without father or mother, Sun Wukong mastered the Dao, stormed the palaces of Heaven and Hell alike, and was crushed under a mountain for five hundred years — only to be freed by a Buddhist pilgrim who needed a bodyguard for the journey to India. He is literature’s great rebel: a trickster who learns discipline, a stone that becomes a saint.
