Played by a major Western actor, the Old Sage serves as the narrator of our tale. The monk is the current keeper of a hundred painted scrolls, each describing an event in the Monkey King’s life. He tells the tale to two children, one Chinese, the other from the West who come across the monk in a cave on a remote mountainside above the Eastern Ocean.

In English the The Monkey King "The Legend Begins", the legendary creation of The Monkey King is told by an Old Sage, a Western monk who traveled from Europe to China in the 7th Century. This is a classic story of the responsibilities of power, acquiring true wisdom and finding redemption through sacrifice.
