Mr. Paul Pang, a donor of Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) and children’s literature author, recently unveiled his latest work, Monkey King, Please Answer (provisional title). Within two months of publication, the book has been honoured with inclusion on several recommended reading lists – a truly commendable achievement.

Presented in an engaging multi-perspective Q&A format, the book reimagines the adventures of the Monkey King from Journey to the West, one of China’s Four Great Classical Novels. Through this protagonist’s lens, it thoughtfully addresses the doubts and dilemmas young readers may encounter during their formative years. Readers not only discover the joy of reading but also gain insights into the Monkey King’s moral growth during his arduous quest for the scriptures. With this subtle narrative approach, the story helps foster virtuous character development in its audience.

Mr. Pang serves as Dean of Students at the University of Macau and President of the HKBU Alumni Association of Macau. For years, he has been a steadfast supporter of his alma mater’s development. As an acclaimed children’s author, he has developed a creative storytelling approach to promote character education.
