This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Sun Wukong is in some ways the Chinese version of Hanuman.

Hanuman is a monkey general, leader of a monkey army, spy and advisor to
Rama, who is a human king and God in his offtime. He is a manifestation of
the Wind.
