China is a big country that produces numerous demons, and our ancestors also have many wonderful ideas about life just like us today. Sometimes these ideas are comfort, sometimes they are sustenance, and more often it is a spiritual symbol of the society’s resistance to the government. When I was young, I loved to hear stories about Chinese monsters. Some of those legendary monsters are scary, some are cute. The TV series “A Journey to the West“ in the summertime is the best show to watch, could not have enough of it. Sun Wukong is a demon, pig Bajie is a demon, and white dragon horse is a demon, after watching each episode, I looked forward so much to the next episode and thought about what’s the next demon in that episode. The only boring thing there is the monk with a serious face. And not to mention numerous strange beasts included in a book of Mountains and Seas?
