“Journey to the West”first aired on CCTV in 1986 but the show’s influence still runs strong.Witness the adoring students who sit for hours on university auditorium floors for a chance to listen to Liuxiaolingtong(六小龄童),the actor who starred in the lead Monkey King role and brought the classic novel to life for generations of Chinese.Our editor Liz Tung managed to catch him amidst the racket of a busy teahouse-turned-mahjong gambling den to grab the inside track on how his love for his older brother,who tragically passed away from leukemia before he could perform the role,spurred him to overcome his introverted nature and make becoming Sun Wukong(孙悟空)his life’s work.Seeing as he spent so many years wedded to the role,we hope we uncovered something of where the monkey stops and the man begins(see page 28).
