乘风破浪的小哪吒，会将“封神宇宙”带向何方？

For generations of Chinese, Ne Zha and his legend has been etched in their minds over centuries.

哪吒闹海，是千百年来国人共有的文化记忆。

But Ne Zha's image has also evolved. In the original Ming Dynasty novel The Investiture of the Gods, Ne Zha is not perfect, and is even a violent and naughty child.

明代小说《封神演义》里的那个哪吒，并不完美，甚至算得上一个暴力倾向严重的“熊孩子”。
