Sun Yat-sen's Nickname"Monkey King"and Revolutionary Image during the Xinhai Revolution
During his studies in Hong Kong,Sun Yat-sen had the experience of being called"Sun Walker"or"Sun Wukong".After the London disaster in 1896,the nickname"Monkey King"(Xingzhe)spread widely,and the reformists often used it to refer to Sun Yat-sen.At the beginning of the 20th century,during the de-bate with the royalists,the revolutionaries once published a short story called"New Journey to the West,"borrowing the inspiration of Monkey King's occupation of the Heavenly Palace to imply that the revolution led by Sun Yat-sen would surely achieve victory.Many key plot points in the novel coincide with the whereabouts of Sun Yat-sen reported in newspapers,demonstrating the diversity of revolutionary propa-ganda.Before the Xinhai Revolution,revolutionary newspapers and magazines dedicated themselves to creating the image of Sun Yat-sen as the revolutionary leader,and"New Journey to the West"was just one part of it.
