Do you know Journey to the West? It is one of China's most famous literature works. In this work, there is a special kid-shaped fruit. People call it “ginseng fruit”. However, we can see these special fruits in our real life now.

In Hangzhou, East China's Zhejiang province, people sold these kid-shaped fruits at 20 yuan for each one. In fact, they are a kind of melon called solanum muricatum. It is also a kind of solanaceae perennial herb.
