They are allies and seek the same goal, but both think and “see” differently. The central conflict of the story revolves around the strife between Tang Seng and the Monkey King. The Monkey King and Tang Seng are joined on their journey by two brothers, Sha Seng and Zhu Bajie, who primarily act as foils for the Monkey King and Tang Seng and provide comic relief for what would otherwise be a much darker story. As with most epic adventures-such as Homer’s Odyssey-reaching the destination may or may not be the deciding factor between failure and success, rather the journey and the lessons learned by the protagonists about the nature of things and the nature of themselves becomes at least as important, if not more so. Summary: Continuing the story of Monkey King after a 500-year interlude, this installment tells the story of a traveling Monk Named Tang Seng (William Feng) who must enlist the aid of the Monkey King (Aaron Kwok) who is both his protector and novice on a journey of 36,000 miles to the Thunder Monastery to retrieve holy scriptures. 51 The third installment of the blockbuster fantasy series sees the return of the Monkey King (Aaron Kwok) in his most action-packed adventure yet, as the travelers on their journey to the West are imprisoned by the Queen of an all-female kingdom and threatened by the wrathful River God. Writers: Ping Ran, Ning Wen (as Elvis Man)
