XI YOU JI: DA ZHAN HONGHAIER {JOURNEY TO THE WEST: WUKONG HAS A BIG FIGHT WITH THE RED BOY} {PT. 14 OF 25} {MANDARIN CHINESE} (TV)
Summary
The second of two programs on this tape. Part fourteen
of twenty-five in this television adaptation of the
classic Chinese supernatural-fantasy novel, "Journey to
The West," written by Wu Chengen in the mid-1500s.
This adaptation follows the journey of the Tang monk
Sanzang and his three pupils, detailing their adventures
with monsters and gods as they travel to the Western
Heaven seeking the three higher Buddhist scriptures. In
this installment, Sanzang and his three pupils (Sun
Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng) triumph over a young
master known as Honghaier (the Red Boy). Part fourteen
begins as the four travelers come to a very quiet
mountain surrounded by lakes. They hear a boy crying
for help, but only Sun Wukong can tell that the boy is a
monster, so the others, especially Sanzang, want Wukong
to save him. So as not to upset his master, Wukong
saves the boy, but the boy then goes after Sanzang and
captures him. Wukong asks the local soil and mountain
deities for help, and they tell Wukong that the boy is
the son of Niu Mowang, an old friend of Wukong. Since
they are friends of the Red Boy's father, Wukong and Zhu
Bajie go to see the boy and try to talk to him. The Red
Boy, however, doesn't believe them to be his father's
friends and burns them with his fire. Next Wukong gets
the Eastern Sea Dragon King to help them, but the Red
Boy still manages to burn them, injuring Wukong badly.
Since Wukong is hurt, Bajie goes to find the Goddess of
Mercy for help, but the Red Boy disguises himself as the
Goddess of Mercy and lures Bajie into his cave. Now
that Bajie is also captured, the Red Boy invites his
parents to join him for a feast to eat Sanzang and
Bajie. Fortunately, Wukong recovers and goes to the Red
Boy's cave. Posing as the Red Boy's father, Wukong
tries to persuade the Red Boy to release Sanzang and
Bajie, but the boy soon discovers Wukong's disguise, and
they begin a big fight. When Wukong is about to win,
the Goddess of Mercy comes to take the Red Boy away.
She makes the Red Boy her young servant, and Sanzang
and his three pupils continue with their journey to the
West.
