It is popular because this work seems to tell a legendary story, but the author skillfully combines traditional and modern concepts, skillfully connects history with today, and skillfully integrates the theme of juvenile growth into the ups and downs of story narration.
We can see the inheritance of our national cultural spirit and a cultural tradition of longing for public welfare, loving kindness and being willing to contribute. It is completely different from the image of Jigong, a crazy and ragged monk in our traditional culture. Li Xiuyuan, a young man, is a handsome face and a little grumpy, vowing to be a hero.
This image seems to be contrary to the later image of Jigong. In fact, Ji Gong's spirit of kindness, truthfulness, helping others and solving people's difficulties is just complementary to the character of Li Xiuyuan, a young Ji Gong.

The story unfolds in an orderly way, but it is gripping step by step. In order to make his mother recover from her long illness, Li Xiuyuan wanted to be a hero, but he always did bad things with good intentions, which made the village chicken fly and the dog jump, and even had many contradictions with his father Li Maochun. After experiencing numerous risks, Li Xiuyuan suddenly and unexpectedly learned that he was the reincarnation of the great hero Lohan.
At this moment, his father, Li Maochun, was lured by the Golden Wings and robbed the Golden Wings to protect Li Xiuyuan, hoping to undertake the mission of saving the world for his son. However, Golden Wings, which seized the golden body, gave the golden body to Golden Wings Dapeng, and Golden Wings Dapeng, which had been suppressed for 500 years, was revived in advance.
From then on, there was a dragon-descending arhat in the sky, and there was a living Buddha who traveled around the world and took it as his duty to help others save the world. At this point, the growth process and characterization of a young Li Xiuyuan to Jigong Living Buddha have been successfully completed.
