This year, *Black Myth: Wukong* has taken the gaming world by storm, achieving remarkable sales of 10 million copies within the first three days following its August 20 release. Additionally, it made history as the first Chinese game to receive a nomination for Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2024, announced in November.
The game immerses players in an exhilarating quest based on the famous Chinese literary work, "Journey to the West." As the "Destined One," players confront a variety of monsters while seeking out the legendary Sun Wukong. Notably, one character, Guangzhi, a wolf monster, has resonated deeply with players from the very beginning.
Guangzhi has emerged as a fan favorite due to his ability to rescue players during challenging boss battles with his formidable transformation spell and powerful attacks. The phrase "Guangzhi, save me!" has even evolved into a popular gaming meme.
However, there's a surprising element to Guangzhi's character: In the original *Journey to the West* novel, he is depicted as a villain who attempted to kill both Sun Wukong and his master, Tang Sanzang.

He delves into a comparison between the game’s portrayal of Guangzhi and his depiction in the original story.
