This is the 31st and final book in the best-selling Journey to the West series of stories for students learning to read Simplified Chinese. It is based on the epic 16th century novel of the same name by Wu Chen'en. That novel was inspired by an actual journey by the Buddhist monk Tangseng, who traveled from Chang'an (today's Xi'an) westward to India in 629 A.D. and returned seventeen years later with priceless knowledge and spiritual texts. Over the course of the book the four travelers face the 81 trials that Tangseng had to endure to attain Buddhahood.
The entire Journey to the West story has been told using a total of about 2,000 different Chinese words, but only 1,111 are used in this book. We introduce 25 words for the first time, and each one is defined on the page where it is first used. The book includes pinyin, an English translation, and a full glossary.
An audiobook is available on the Imagin8 Press website and on YouTube's Imagin8 Press channel.
