Chinese Zodiac Monkey
Personality
Occupying the 9th position on the Chinese Zodiac, the Monkey possesses such character traits as curiosity, mischievousness, and cleverness. Forever playful, Monkeys are the masters of practical jokes. Even though their intentions are always good, this desire to be a prankster has a tendency to create ill will and hurt feelings.Although they are inherently intellectual and creative, Monkeys at times have trouble exhibiting these qualities. When that happens, they appear to others to be confused. But nothing could be further from the truth as Monkeys thrive on being challenged. Monkeys prefer urban life to rural, and their favorite pastime is people-watching.
The myth of the three wise monkeys
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the Turkish film, see Three Monkeys.

"See no evil hear no evil" redirects here. For the 1989 comedy film, see See No Evil, Hear No Evil.
There are various meanings ascribed to the monkeys and the proverb including associations with being of good mind, speech and action. In the Western world the phrase is often used to refer to those who deal with impropriety by turning a blind eye.[3]
Outside Japan the monkeys' names are sometimes given as Mizaru,[4] Mikazaru,[5] and Mazaru,[6] as the last two names were corrupted from the Japanese originals.[7][8] The monkeys are Japanese macaques, a common species in Japan.
It is now 2016, I think it's about time to add a fourth monkey to the lineup:
It's time to bid farewell to the Year of the Ram as the Year of the Monkey is here. To welcome the New Year with gusto, grab some bananas and let's watch The most famous monkey in China who is non-other than the Monkey King.
Below is an animation " Monkey King conquers evil" which was released in China in 1985.
Thirty years later in 2015 a new version of the Monkey King animation was released,"The hero is back" in China. Below is the full version of the film in YouTube.

Arguably, the technique in making the animation is probably better now then the similar one above made in 1985 but in my opinion that the script is shallow without substance. I like the older one although it pretty much adhered to the traditional story line but artworks made by brute force is superb although I hated the annoying background music.
2015 was a year full of turbulence and tragedies, while celebrating the arrival of the New Year of the Monkey, may Peace on Earth be with all of us during 2016 and beyond:
The arrival of the New Year has stirred up some heated debates over the chosen mascots for the Year of Monkey between Mainland China and Taiwan. People say these mascots are too ugly, well, you will be the judge:
 |
| Monkey1: Boy, you are ugly. Monkey2: I am humbled by your kindness, but you are really uglier. |
