Legends and myths have been told by Asian parents over centuries. Many of these stories are not recorded, thus only few are widely known, such as Mulan and the Monkey King. These rich stories are equally as exciting as Wizards of Oz, Pinnochio, etc. With more people taking notice of Asian cultures, there is no better time to tell these timeless stories urgently as more mediums are available than ever.
