I re-watched "Journey to the West" at home over the weekend. The last time I watched it was when I was in my teens, and I only remembered Tang Seng who was talking about it.
I have always had low tears and low laughter, but this time I didn't laugh during the whole process, and only had a little tears at the end when "he looks like a dog". The whole play is talking about a shattered fairy tale, and finally gives you a similar "happy ending" ending, but it is so sad. So sad, but can't shed tears.
The Supreme Treasure has the ideal characteristics of girls: chic and happy, unscrupulous, dare to love and hate, even if Bai Jingjing is a monster, he will never turn back. At that time, he held the Moonlight Treasure Box in his hand, and there seemed to be countless "regret medicines". Later, he met Zixia, who dared to love and hate, and was stubborn and arrogant. He was attracted to him mysteriously, but he had a fetter in his heart. The moonlight treasure box allows him to travel through time and space to save Jingjing, but it cannot avoid "meeting the right person at the wrong time without knowing it".
The Bull Demon is probably the least likable character in the whole play, and his pronoun is "reality". Always remind you at critical moments that this is not a fairy tale. Maybe it's because of the obsession with promises, maybe it's the threat of the Bull Demon King or simply escaping, in short, the supreme treasure deceived Zixia, the love of his life. Bull Demon King gave an ultimatum and married Zixia 7 days later.
"7", what a mysterious number. In these seven days, the Supreme Treasure seems to have overcome the seven deadly sins in Christianity, and it seems to have gone through a cycle, from a mortal to the "Monkey King". Holding the golden hoop, he said word by word: "I once had a sincere love in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. When I lost it, I regretted it. The most painful thing in the world is this. If God can give me a chance to do it again, I will say three words to you "I love you". If you have to add a deadline to this love, I hope it is 10,000 years!" final regret. Just in response to the saying in Journey to the West, "When the heart is born, all kinds of demons are born; when the heart is destroyed, all kinds of obliterations", his heart was destroyed, and he became the invincible "Monkey King".
"My crush is an unparalleled hero, one day he will step on the seven-colored clouds to marry me", but it is not the supreme treasure, but Sun Wukong. Although he told Zixia over and over again that he was the "Great Sage Monkey King", he couldn't bear the pain of Zixia's death. But if he chooses righteousness, he can only go on. This is his given life.
It seemed like a charity from Guanyin. When he woke up from the "Bodhi Cave" again, they all had a consummate life, and he also allowed him to walk to her, kiss her with all his strength, and say "I love you". But Sun Wukong is still Sun Wukong, and there will never be a supreme treasure again.
Seeing his last figure reminds me that when Tang Seng sang only you to the Supreme Treasure, he said, "When you understand the truth of sacrificing your life, you will naturally come back and sing this song with me."
He who became Sun Wukong, and finally supported him to turn and walk towards the long yellow sand, was that "only you".
