At the end, they learn Red BoyâÇÖs true nature.áThis is the 14th book in the best-selling Journey to the West series of stories for students learning to read Chinese. It is based on the events in Chapters 40 through 43 ofáepic 16th century novel of the same name by Wu ChenâÇÖen. That novel was inspired by an actual journey by the Buddhist monk Tangseng, who traveled from ChangâÇÖan westward to India in 629 A.D. and returned seventeen years later with priceless knowledge and spiritual texts. Over the course of the book Tangseng and his companions face the 81 tribulations that Tangseng had to endure to attain Buddhahood.The first 14 books in the Journey to the West series have used a total of about 1500 different Chinese words, but only 762 are used in this book.
