Recently, a video game named Black Myth:Wukong has been a great hit all over the world. Black Myth is China's first AAA video game. Why is it so popular? It is the Chinese culture inside it.
Wukong is a main character from Journey to the West, a Chinese classic god- evil novel written 500 years ago." Chinese god- evil stories are fantastic themselves. No one would dislike them once they start to learn about them. And my game just opens a window." Said Feng Ji, the game's producer. For this reason, although players from other countries were not fans of Chinese culture, they are now" hard- working" on every detail of the novel. For almost the first time, the world tries actively to understand Chinese culture.
The beautiful scenes in the game are also attractive. Among the 36 places that appear in the game, 27 are real in Shanxi Province. Take the Hanging Temple for example. It was built nearly 1,600 years ago and truly hangs on a steep cliff(峭壁). Players are amazed when they realize it is a true attraction.
An American player said," China is rich in culture and stories. I hope we can get more like this. I would love to go to China some day."
