This book tells the legendary story of Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing as they protect Tang Sanzang on his journey to the Western Paradise. The author, through a fantastical world, reflects a playful attitude towards feudal rulers. In "Journey to the West," it is nearly impossible to find a competent emperor; the King of Chechi who favors demons and the King of Biqiu who wants to use a child's heart as a medicine are either tyrants or despots. The ten thousand celestial soldiers under the Great Jade Emperor are unable to withstand a single strike from Sun Wukong's golden staff, and true talents are reduced to menial jobs such as a stablehand, underscoring the darkness of their rule. Though Buddhism, founded by the Buddha, should not be influenced by money and wealth, it is disheartening that Buddha silently allows his disciples to accept bribes, revealing the corrupt collusion within feudal society.
