Summary:
This art film is a paper-cut film. It was hot in June, and Tang Sanzang, the teacher and his disciples, who went to the west to learn scriptures, were thirsty and tired. They looked up and saw a temple in front of them, and hurried in. Who would have thought it was a deserted temple. Sun Wukong settled his master down and went out to find food. Bajie wanted to eat food first and go with him, but he was too lazy. After walking for a while, he yelled that he had a stomachache, and Sun Wukong had no choice but to let him go to find food by himself. When Sun Wukong went through a lot of trouble to find a bunch of delicious fruits, Bajie also got a big watermelon by accident. He divided the watermelon into four portions, picked the biggest one first and ate it, then he couldn’t resist the delicious temptation and swallowed the master and senior brother’s portion. All of this was seen by Sun Wukong, and Sun Wukong decided to play him well.
