I read translations of Chinese fanfics that have a lot of obscure idioms.
I can’t find the meaning of these idioms on the internet.
Maybe there are some people here who are experts in this?
The idiom from the title is one character’s reflection on the people who defeated their enemies.
This character thought, “They think they’re strong, but they’re like the monkey that jumped out to pluck the peach.”
They were written by someone who’s exposure to anything martial - and probably anything more strenuous than making a trip to mom’s cupboard for more Cheetos - has been through film.
