My Favorite Story Character
My favorite story character is Sun Wukong, or the Monkey King. He is the main character of the novel Journey to the West, one of the Four Classical Novels of Chinese literature.
I like Sun Wukong for many reasons. We all know that he has magical power. He can change into anything. That makes him very funny sometimes and can help him fight against his enemies. He is also very brave, smart and honest. He is never afraid of danger. He can always come up with ideas to deal with difficulties. Maybe few people can realize that honesty is also one of his best qualities. We can see his master sometimes punishes him. But, why? Because he would not lie to his master!
In a word, Sun Wukong is a popular hero among people of all ages. He will always hold a special place in my heart as my favorite story character.
