《Monkey Boy 》

《Monkey Boy 》

Lyrics/compose/video by Hua Zeng 

Dedicated to the esteemed Mr. Zhou Longzhang (Alan Chow)

You are a true

A true "Monkey Boy"

Born with

A natural gift for performance

That sensitivity

And passion

You are a "Monkey Boy"

Through and through

Your courage

Your conviction

Your kindness

Your care for others

You were once

The "Monkey King"

On the silver screen

In *The Kingdom of Women*

And in the tales of the *Cave of the Silken Web*

You are more than just an actor

Active across

Traditional opera,

Film,

Drama,

And the stage

Your life itself is a story

From childhood on

You have lived

A life full of drama

Just as the saying goes:

Life is like a play,

And a play is like life.

You possess a kind heart

To me, you are a true hero

Your story inspires me

And moves me deeply

Your strength

Your wisdom

And your love

A "Monkey Boy"

A hero among monkeys

A man worthy of respect

You are someone truly deserving of admiration
