This work reinterprets the story of "Journey to the West" from a unique perspective. After successfully learning the lessons, the four masters and apprentices encountered various changes in Heaven and the West, and their glory was no longer the same. Sun Wukong caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace and was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain. Zhu Bajie was demoted to the mortal world and was reborn in a pig's womb by mistake. Monk Sha was restored to his original form, and Monk Tang was deprived of his Buddhist status. They suffered in the human world, filled with regrets, and decided to retrace their steps in order to seek salvation. However, this journey was full of hardships, bullying by monsters, separation between master and apprentice, and ultimately the mission was not achieved and they were separated. The work profoundly shows the impermanence of fate and the weakness of human nature, and interprets the struggle and helplessness of the four masters and apprentices in a tragic tone, giving readers a new and shocking feeling about the classic.
