Abstract
Monkey King and Nezha have long been the most widely used myth archetypes in Chinese film and television, and their rich rewriting was seen in animated and fantasy films in the past. In July 2022, the feature film Lighting up the Stars also completes a period reimagining of the two myth archetypes. The film's protagonists, Mo Sanmei and Wu Xiaowen, correspond to the characters of Monkey King and Nezha respectively. In the interplay of sorrow and joy, they call on the audience to think of he meaning of life and ponder the value of life, conveying a strong sense of human warmth.
