About this title

Synopsis

A Chinese woman's journey through cultural identity, economic disparity, and a talking monkey's guide to civilization.

Born in a remote Sichuan village, Ming's life takes an unexpected turn when she encounters a talking monkey, the immortal Monkey King. Determined to become a writer, Ming journeys to New York, but finds herself entangled with a crime ring, forcing her return to China. There, she joins forces with her American friend Zoe and the Monkey King to save the world from capitalism gone awry.

In a world where China transforms into a playground for artists and thinkers, Ming, Zoe, and William Sun lead a tech company that challenges the status quo. But as human nature intervenes, their utopian vision faces unexpected threats. Ms. Ming's Guide to Civilization explores cultural identity, economic disparity, and the quest for meaning in a rapidly changing world. Perfect for readers interested in contemporary fiction, satire, and social commentary.
