Today is my fourth day of quarantine, everything is normal. By watching the news, i found that there’re actual diagnosed cases on the flight that i was on, but i think they are not in the same area as i was, because otherwise i will be in the hospital by now ( if there’re diagnosed around you, either is a or two row in front or behind, you will be sent to the hospital to quarantine). Today my temperature is 36.4.
Today, the film that i am introducing is based on an ancient mythology of China. Monkey King also known as Sun WuKong in Chinese, is the main character in the 16th century novel ‘ Journey To The West’. According to the novel, he was born out of a stone, and he gain power through Taoist practices. “he is able to support the pressing weight of two celestial mountains on his shoulders while running “with the speed of a meteor”.[3] He is also extremely fast, able to travel 108,000 li (54,000 kilometres (34,000 mi)) in one somersault. Sun also knows the 72 Earthly transformations, which allow him to transform into various animals and objects. Sun Wukong is a skilled fighter, capable of defeating the best warriors of heaven. His hair possesses magical properties, capable of summoning clones of the Monkey King himself, and/or into various weapons, animals, and other objects. He has demonstrated partial weather manipulation abilities as well, and can stop people in place with fixing magic.” according to Wikipedia.
CUG: King of Heroes is a 3D animated movie based on the tradition Chinese mythology ‘Journey to the west’. One day, the mountain demon came to rob the boys and girls. Jiangliuer rescued a little girl and caused the mountain demon to chase him. He fled and ran into Waxing Mountain and accidentally released Wukong from seal. After Wukong’s freedom, he only wanted to return to Huaguo Mountain, but in order to return the favor to Jingliuer, he escorted him and the little girl to his destiny. Along the way, Bajie and the White Dragon Horse also appeared due to their destiny, but they were downcast and was not as heroic as they used to be. Sun Wukong was reborn in a predicament, pressed under the Wuzhi Mountain, bound by an iron chain. After he broke free, he lost his mana, which makes him an ordinary monkey. The mountain god also mocked him as good-for-nothing, and the monster trampled him. After experiencing all kinds of hardships, he found that it was not the iron chains in his hands that bound him, but the weakness of his own inner heart, to escape from the truth, in this paradox, he gradually lost himself, gave up himself, and wandered in confusion. Accompanied by Jiang Liu’er, he retrieved his lost self and his dignity and honor as Qitian Dasheng. He understood that what restrained himself is his own demon. Only by conquering himself can he break free from the shackles and become the real Monkey King. In the end, he was reborn again became a true Qitian.
As a Chinese, i grew listen to the story of Qitian, he kind of represent a symbol of my Childhood. The film not only tells the story of Qitian, but also presented a vivid visual image with Chinese characteristics.
