　　the picture gives us a view of a popular phenomenon: the adaptation of the classics. some classical literary works, such as our four great classics . a dream of red mansions, journey to the west, the romance of the three kingdoms and heroes of the marshes, are all adapted to cater to some readers’ tastes. the traditional characters become so strange and the plots are totally different. it is so ridiculous that the precious literary treasures are allowed to be ruined so we all know, the classical literature is the representation of the outstanding art of our nation. some familiar characters such as monkey king express the good wishes of our common people. from them, we learn many good virtues such as honesty, bravery, justice etc. however, in those adapted works named “bantering***”or “reboiling***”, all plots are changed and all characters become somewhat watered clown.
