When you open "Journey to the West", you are reading a legend about seeking scriptures, and we are the "villains" who were fixed in the Eighty-One Dilemma. Immortality is a sin, occupying mountains is a sin, and the struggle against fate is reduced to a joke about "eating Tang Monk's flesh". Has anyone ever asked: Why is the black bear spirit so obsessed with cassocks? So what exactly does Madam White Bones seek after she transformed three times?
This is not a confession, but a belated confession. Please listen, under the crude label of "monster", the century-old loneliness silenced by history, the struggle of unfinished spiritual practice and the fate of being born as a monster. Our story begins with being misunderstood—but it doesn't end with misunderstanding.
