Journey to the West. Wu Cheng'en

      

      Timothy Richard traveled to China in 1868 as a Baptist missionary. When other missionaries were attempting to stamp out the popular local tales of gods and heroes such as Journey to the West, Timothy Richard championed them for the universal messages of spiritual challenge and growth they contain. He is also the author of Forty-five Years in China.
