The First Streamer in China to Beat *Black Myth: Wukong* with Motion Controls, Defeating a Boss with a Wave of a USB Device
November 6, 2025
For this episode, we spoke with Rong Sijia, founder of Action&Link. Action&Link (Dongyu Technology) is dedicated to promoting healthier, more engaging, and sustainable lifestyles through innovations in human-computer interaction.
From the Three Realms and Four Continents of Black Myth: Wukong to the kingdom of Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda, to Teyvat in Genshin Impact — plug a small USB device into your computer, and you become the protagonist. Run, fly, encounter wonders, and adventure to your heart's content in worlds woven from light and shadow.
From writing the first line of code for XPeng's Robotaxi to devoting himself entirely to motion-controlled gaming, Rong Sijia discovered that the two share a common underlying logic: visual signal input, control signal output. He thought, if these algorithms could achieve high-precision, low-latency "vision-to-control" conversion on automotive computers, why couldn't they work on personal computers or gaming consoles? Gaming has always been one of the most cutting-edge arenas for algorithmic applications. If this capability could be transferred to games, wouldn't that be the future of motion-controlled gaming?
In August 2024, the phenomenon-level release of Black Myth: Wukong delivered unprecedented visual and combat spectacle. Rong Sijia (@CyberSpiritWalker) streamed his entire playthrough with his device. At first, only one or two people watched each night. Back then, he wasn't thinking about fundraising — he was obsessed with doing one thing right. So he reviewed his streams relentlessly every day, analyzing which lines kept viewers watching, which boss fights drew people in. Then on New Year's Day, January 1st, his Bilibili livestream shot to #1 in the gaming category. Tens of thousands watched simultaneously as this "Destined One" took the field, making him the first person on the entire internet to complete the game with motion controls.
Rong Sijia believes that the next great century-spanning hardware company will be born in China. Sports and entertainment are humanity's most ancient needs. People originally created games to find virtual solace amid hunger. But in today's age of material abundance, games satisfy higher-level desires — the connection between body and mind, between human and world.
The Action&Link Portal, the world's first entry-level full-body motion gaming peripheral, is about to officially launch — allowing players to more immersively adventure and exercise in whatever game worlds they love.
