The four Tang monks, master and apprentices, went to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures. After suffering all kinds of hardships, they finally achieved success and their myths and stories are widely circulated among the people. Thousands of years later, they returned to the world and left many interesting stories for people. The heart of this film is a set of funny and funny entertainment films. Monk Sha spends his old age happily, and he can return to secular life to find a wife. Zhu Bajie dances to disco because he likes women. Tang Seng and Sun Wukong also sing pop songs to express their feelings. This is not a sequel to Journey to the West, nor is it a plot spoofed by netizens, but the absurd drama “Journey to the West” directed by Zhao Dashu and Xi Yushen, the assistant directors of the 82 edition of “Journey to the West” in the early 1990s.
