Why is the Monkey King a superhero in China?

Because he represents justice, power, rebellion and omnipotence! ! !

The Monkey King is smart, quick-thinking and quick-acting. He learned high-powered magic, and he can change seventy-two things in one breath. He also has a magic weapon, the golden hoop stick, which can be turned into a needle and enlarged into a copper stick, as well as a somersault cloud. Wukong is still a monkey. He is clever and naughty, and likes playing pranks. He deliberately asked Pig Bajie to patrol the mountains and explore the road, but he became a bug and secretly looked at the lazy Pig Bajie. It can be seen that he is thoughtful and mischievous.

The Monkey King was fearless, so he dared to make trouble with the Sea Dragon King, the underworld and the Heavenly Palace, and even made a bet with the Buddha. This shows his rebellious, unwilling to be bound and unconventional character. Abundant vitality, fearless spirit, upright character and optimistic character make him fearless and brave to face challenges. His spirit of taking risks and making trouble fully shows the characteristics of a hero. But competitive, arrogant and impatient are his weaknesses.
