Young genius

Wu Cheng'en's ancestral home is Anton (now Lianshui, Jiangsu). His ancestors moved to Huai 'an River in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, and have been in Wu Cheng'en for five generations. My father is a businessman. Before he died, he very much hoped that his son would become famous. He was named Cheng En, the word Ruzhong, which means that he can study as an official, inherit the business of emperors, benefit the people and be a loyal minister in history.

Wu Cheng'en has been diligent and studious since childhood. He is good at painting, calligraphy, lyrics and Go, and he likes to read books such as ghosts and lemurs, such as novels such as Hundred Strange Records, Miscellanies of Youyang or unofficial history. Zhu was a celebrity at that time, and he was proud of his talent. After seeing Wu Cheng'en, I appreciated it very much, saying that Wu Cheng'en could read all the books in the world and gave Wu Cheng'en half of his books.
