Three students from an aviation university dressed themselves up as the "Monkey King" to express their hope to see the "Monkey King" actor Zhang Jinlai on 2016 CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

The three "Monkey Kings" are in three different styles: one in classic Peking Opera style, one in rock style and one in modern style.

Millions of Chinese are expressing outrage over the fact that their beloved "Monkey King" actor Zhang Jinlai has been left out of the national TV gala celebrating the upcoming Lunar New Year.
