The story dates back to 1829 a time where the circus intrigued everyone from Kings to beggars everyone loved the circus! The tricks, play everything was unique it seemed out of the world. At that time props were mostly used to entertain the common people. Everyone wanted to be an entertainer no one thought of the use of animals as entertainers except the quirky 17-year-old living in China. Everyone made fun of him except his parents they believed in him, but deep down they too knew its nearly impossible to tame wild animals or animals still they supported after all he was the apple of their eyes.

Just another usual day at the Wu household
Min the quirky teen was going in the forest to collect wood to make furniture "Aish, everyday mum day starts with collecting wood, helping ma in making bedsheets and after doing all of this I don't get time to do my tricks." he just wanted to explore new areas in the field of entertainment but he knew the truth that it was impossible. He kept walking deep in the jungle exploring, looking at those geraniums, foliage, roses only those flowers made him feel happy and calm. Min kept walking towards the tree and his cosy hub where he used to write down details about animals but alas today he forgot to bring his diary. Min was going downhill suddenly he slipped and tumbled upon a garden of blue petaled Ixora it was truly a sight to behold. This made him wonder "This is a sight to behold, I rarely get to see this sight there must be new varieties of animals here who would help me!". Min heard a few voices guiding him "go right.." "go left.." "come inside little boy, you shall find your treasure." Min followed whatever those raspy voices said. Finally, those voices stopped and he reached an old dilapidated temple.

He tiptoed and followed a few blue petals, he kept following them until he reached the entrance and what he saw was truly his treasure. He saw a few monkeys dancing doing all kinds of tricks, horses jumping from one big loop to another big loop, dogs throwing balls in different ways, butterflies forming different beautiful patterns throwing pixie dust. It was just like his dreams, Min was elated. Min watched this for 1 hour he saw this suddenly a monkey tugged his pants, that monkey was so cute and beautiful.. it was like his eyes described whatever he was feeling at that moment, the monkey interrupted his train of thought and showed some marvellous tricks, those tricks were so exclusive Min instantly fell in love with the monkey and its tricks everything was going well... "Oh it's evening now, I must go bye monkey I'll see you tomorrow". Min hurried home with whatever wood he collected fortunately he got saved from all the bickering, he immediately brought his diary and wrote down whatever he saw and wrote down points made drawings. That day made Min more serious about his dreams, he was more determined he promised to change the face of the circus.

Min went there consistently for 4 years and his bond with the animals grew especially that monkey his name is Albert. Albert and Min were best of friends, their friendship described the true essence, everything was good, Min as usual went to the forest and he reached his hub, he played with animals and made notes, Min got an idea "Friends why don't we go out of the forest and show everyone our tricks and plays?" the animals gave a mixed response the horses and dogs agreed but the monkeys and butterflies disagreed, Min was sad but knew that he could convince them but what made him disappointed was that Albert also refused plus he started crying which made things worse the animals weren't letting Min go, this consumed his time and he got late... Mr Wu was cleaning their hut while cleaning he found out about Min's idea aka his drawings and little notes, he was furious he thought maybe this craze for circus went away, everything was fine and better but alas Min was still childish believing in that dream he was furious so he waited Min to come after all a good trashing fixes everyone...the day was about to end but Min was late this fueled Mr Wu's anger more. Min finally reached home at 9 pm " Shit, I'm too late- Oh pa you are here, sorry I couldn't get much wood but this is sufficient for 4 chairs". Mr Wu took those logs and threw them away Min was shocked and he thought "he never does this, maybe he's angry because I got late?" Mr Wu looked like burning pepper he said "Your obsession for that circus remains the same?, when will you realise that the world is CRUEL!!" Min got furious he knew that his parents didn't believe him but they crossed the limits "It's not some utopian bullshit, I may have seen it with my own eyes, I can tame animals and they can perform well". The fight continued for a while Mr Wu was utterly disappointed seeing how hard his son tried to convince his point, how foolishly he is believing in some nonsense, he was unable to tolerate Min he said"Get out just get out, hah....I can't keep a madman get out, I'll tell your mother some excuse" Min was astonished within a matter of 20 minutes he got disowned, did his parents loved him? Min packed his stuff and went off, his father just gave few jewellery and money, but he didn't see that his father was also crying that moment both the father and son realized that their love for each other was not strong

Min kept running and running till he reached his hub, he cried his heart out and was weary, he just wanted everything to stop plus the rain added more to this problem houseless, no money nothing he was just a plain teen with no job..Min was a smart-ass so he cooked a plan, he waited for the night to come he tiptoed inside the temple and told all the animals about his current situation and out of sympathy the animals agreed to go the city with Min. Min managed to buy an empty plot with the money and food for the animals which would help them all last for a year.

The animals and Min worked hard, they trained all day, built their circus and discussed new ideas everything worked well.
Min hosted his first show expecting a big crowd, alas no one came except a few children those children seemed rich so he was lucky plus they enjoyed the show, again he hosted another show this time the crowd was bigger and 6 months passed by Min's circus was famous all over China. He minted money as crazy everything went well materialistically and personally, people all around the world came Min was famous, a 22-year-old could do such magic it was unbelievable! Everyone loved Min Wu's show, in the eyes of his audience, he was a kind-hearted trainer and genius!
but as the fame increased Min's originality went away he started stealing others ideas, he got involved in murder and party politics, he didn't take care of the animals. The Kind Min drastically changed after all it was his deep greed that changed him.

Albert, on the other hand, was tortured daily, he loved doing tricks and enjoying people Min loved Albert and this strong love remained for 20 years, the genuinely enjoyed the circus, but when Min turned 41 everything changed Min incurred financial losses over Lawsuits his reputation got tarnished but he was still the famous entertainer who inspired people that animals can also entertain but he became cruel and used to take out all frustration on Albert he made him do all kinds of tricks most of the time they were harmful to a monkey but Min was Min. But Albert just waiter for the old Min to come back, every day he prayed that Min change and stop this torture instantly but nothing happened, One day Albert tried to run away but Min caught him after that day Min chained Albert. From that day the torture increased ten folds and slowly all the animals died, Albert saw the circuses shine going away and more circuses coming up with their idea. Min used to beat Albert with a whip, even his whimpers didn't stop him, his pleading eyes till his eyes just presented a void, and bore all the pain. Min was infested with his Pride, the Lawsuits increased until finally came a time where the circus crumpled.... and Min Wu's circus was bankrupt..still wanting fame

Min used his last weapon Albert, the following day the market was filled with posters saying "Albert the Monkey's last show, don't miss it!!". This news brought both excitements The next day children and adults reached the circus, it brought nostalgia and excitement to everyone present there, everyone was eager for Albert!
Min said, "EVERYONE HERE COMES, ALBERT!!" Albert presented himself and started with a few tricks, songs and his famous acts then he started dancing the crowd cheered, this riled up Albert he started to dance more and in various styles, he kept on dancing and dancing then at a point he stopped but he suddenly felt a stinging pain, it was the whip and Albert resumed and kept on dancing while dancing the crowd chanted "Dance Dance, Dance" they kept chanting for Albert the monkey. The monkey danced like crazy till it fell and finally collapsed the crowd just booed and left and only the half-dead monkey was left alone, gasping for death...he got flashbacks of the time Min first visited them, the time everything thing was perfect the blue Ixora, the temple and the jungle this brought tears in his eye until he was finally 使不得. Min ran to Albert shaking him continuously expecting him to somehow wake up, all he wanted to was to reverse time. Min felt disgusting, he was angry with his creation, ugly with what his greed did to him. He won but at what cost?
