Suffering comes in different forms, and you have a solution! This is a "survival guide" tailored for contemporary people
Buddha's light intersects with neon, and inner demons are reborn in codes. This is not a myth about seeking scriptures from the West, but a reality we are experiencing with our own eyes.
A modern and wonderful book that subverts tradition, it refines the classic "Journey to the West" into a philosophical fable that deconstructs the current predicament. When the 1981 disaster was no longer the Tongtian River and the Flame Mountain, but transformed into ubiquitous modern "demons and ghosts" such as workplace PUA, social fear, economic difficulties, crisis of faith, and emotional betrayal, the five chosen by fate "Modern scholars" appear on the scene: the idealistic philosopher Tang Zheng, the violent geek Sun Wu who is burdened with an old case, the greasy Internet celebrity Zhu Bajie who is in debt, the silent nurse Sha Jing who is burdened with the crime, and the aloof genius hacker girl Bai Xiaolong. They are forced to form a team, go deep into the "karma system" composed of human collective anxiety, and face every concrete suffering.
With extraordinary imagination, this book transforms the abstract pain of life into "monsters" that can be defeated, allowing readers to experience the pleasure of subverting suffering through passionate teamwork, wits and crushing game-breaking. This is not only an adventure epic full of modern fantasy elements, but also a mirror that reflects our hearts. It sharply asks: When suffering strikes in a certain way, do you have any solutions?
Follow their footsteps and embark on this thrilling journey of self-cultivation that is filled with laughter and tears. You will find that the real scripture is not the end point, but the extremely powerful self that you will become after completing all the levels and upgrading.
