Recently, a computer game --《Black Myth (黑神话) *Wukong》based on (基于) Sun Wukong has been very popular on the Internet. It comes from the story of Journey to the West(西游记).
Journey to the West is one of the “Four Chinese Classics”, written by Wu Chen’en. It’s also a very famous Chinese TV play. It’s about the great trip of main characters: Tang Seng, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng.
The TV play was the first its kind in China. The production team (制作团队) spent about six years, from 1982 to 1988, making it. The team met with many problems. At that time, they only had simple tools(工具). Still, they tried their best to make the TV play well. They spent two months visiting over 60 places across China to find the best places for different stories. They needed the wire stunt(威亚) to help the actors and actresses “fly”, but no one knew how to do it. They flew to Hong Kong to learn the technique(技术).
Through the team’s hard work, the TV play first aired in China in 1986. It quickly became very popular. Now, it’s still famous to Chinese people. When people talk about “summer vacation”, most of them think of the TV play. People in other countries also love it.

At the beginning, I saw some vendors(小贩) walking along the paths(小路) with postcards. They shouted loudly to sell the postcards but I was not interested in them. Soon, one old woman followed me wherever I went. Finally, I became angry. “Don’t you know the meaning of “ No!” ” I shouted at her and left.
When I saw the Great Wall, I felt excited and forgot the old woman. I went up the Great Wall.
Then, halfway up, I stopped. I found I was on a very dangerous path. It was no wider than a meter and there were no walls. I remembered that some tourists died here. I couldn’t move at all.
Suddenly, I felt a small hand on my back. A voice told me, “Don’t be afraid.” She said she would help me to the top. All the time, she said to me “Everything will be fine.”
Half an hour later, we reached a safe place. Feeling better, I turned around to see who she was. It was the old woman. I felt sorry and gave her a big hug(拥抱). Later, I bought all of her postcards. She smiled and took my hands in hers.
Even now, I still deeply thank the old woman.

Time flies quickly. I have stepped into junior high school for a year. I think the life is different from it in my primary school.
First of all, let's talk about the study. I still have classes every day, listen to the teachers carefully and take notes in class, I also have homework to do and exams to take. But I have to get up earlier and go to bed later. I am much busier than before. I have more subjects to learn, and most of the subjects are more difficult. I need to spend more time and energy on them. But I become more outgoing than before. I make more friends.
Next, the teachers in junior high school pay more attention to improve our skills. Although they’re strict with us, I still like them because their classes are interesting.I become more outgoing and I also have more friends.
Another difference is that there are more activities in junior high school. I can join many clubs, such as the art club, the music club and the sports club. I love after-school activities because they ‘re colorful.
I believe that as long as I work hard, I will be better and have a wonderful junior high school life!
