Fu Xing Gao Zhao Zhu Ba Jie
Cast:
Huang Hai Bing, Elvis Tsui, Gao Hong Xian, Li zong han, han xue, jin qiao qiao, hu don, xie jia ning
I really do not remember what this series is about. But I do remember that I didn't like it much when I watch it several years ago. ^___^
At first I rented it because it's about Zhu Ba Jie. Thought it will be some sort of comedy. And with Ba Jie, there will be Monkey King... hehehe... so that's why I rented in the first place. But to my disappointment, it was a very sad movie. All it talks about was Ba Jie's romance life. All it does was talking and talking... nothing to make you laugh, no fighting much, no action. I was waiting and waiting for MOnkey King to come to save the day... and when he finally appear on scene... ***sigh*** he's so so not what I hope he would be. =(
This series, to me, sucks. That's because I hate watching romance movies. ^___^ That's why I don't like Quest for the Sutra, even though Dicky play a very hot Monkey King. hehehehehehe....

Does looks matter?
I just re-watch an episode of Journey to the West, the '96 version, tonight. A question rise to my mind. Would you marry an ugly person?? Does looks matter??
I think I was in episode 7, where Wu Kong came to the Gao village and was about to capture Ba Jie. The beaten Ba Jie went back to the hotel where he and his wife stay. He covered his face in fear that his newly wed wife would see what he really look like, a pig demon. Ba Jie was really worry. He asked his wife, "What would you do if I am ugly? Would you still marry me?" His wife reply "What are you talking about? Are you okay?" Ba Jie reinterate, "Are you still going to marry me if I am ulgy?" "Of course. What is wrong with you today? You are asking weird question."
Then Ba Jie's stomach start to expand. He tried to cover his stomach and the cloth that was covering his face fall off. ^____^ His wife was shcok. She fainted, fell down and hit her head on the pillow and die. (Pillows back then were actually a piece of wood cover by a piece of cloth.) She hit her head on a piece of wood, and died.
Ba Jie was sad and mad. He blamed Monkey King for the death of his wife. So he find Monkey King to fight, to take revenge. Guess who win?? ^___^ MONKEY KING! hehehehe
If you were in Ba Jie's wife shoe and didn't died when you saw what Ba Jie really look like, would you still be with him or would you storm out of that room screaming "Ahhhhh.. MONSTER!"?
Probably everybody going to choose running out the room screaming huh? ^___^
I would do that too. But if I found out that he is not an imposter (he didn't kill my husband ) and that he is that same person I marry, I probably would reconsider.
I know I wouldn't remarry. That's for sure. I do believe in a 1 marriage deal.
I guess looks does matter in a way huh? And it do depend on the person too. Did I just answer my own question? ^___^
--------------------------------------
If people could just get pass the material things, they can achieve enlightment. But I doubt I can.
Ba Jie's master tried to convince him in the latter episode that looks doesn't matter. Everybody is going to turn into a skeleton anyway. Enlightment is the only true road. (From an episode where Ba Jie is trying to marry the princess. Monkey King just got kick out of the group.)

Who is Zhu Ba Jie?
Zhu Ba Jie is a character in Journey to the West, a novel written by Wu Cheng'en in the late 16th century. He got this name, Ba Jie, from his master Tang Tsang (Xuan Zang).
Zhu - last name meaning pig
Ba - means eight
Jie - means prohibitions
The eight prohibition in Buddhism that every Buddhist must obey.
Here is a little history on my new hero: ^_____^
Ba Jie, before he became a pig demon, he was Tian Peng Yuan Shuai in charge of the Heavenly River. During the Empress's Peach Banquet, the drunking Tian Peng (Ba Jie) stumbled into the Guang Han Palace and flirted with the Moon Goddess, Chang Er. Words of this got to the Jade Emperor and Ba Jie was captured and got kick out of heaven to be reincarnated as his punishment.
On the way, he accidentally fall into the wrong place, and got reincarnated as a pig. Ba Jie lives in the Yun Zhan Cave on the Fu Ling Mountain. During this time, his diet is human, yummy humans. (Have u ever wonder what humans taste like? Maybe we taste like chicken too? ^__^ )
One day, the Goddess of Mercy (Kuan Yin) passed by and asked if Ba Jie want to protect the Tang Monk on his journey to the west, as this will end his punishment.
Ba Jie happily agrees. Kuan Yin gave him the name Wu Neng, meaning awareness of ability. (Awareness of ability?? what ability?? ^___^ )
One day, Ba Jie overheard that a man name Gao from a nearby village is looking for a groom for his daughter, Ba Jie transfer himself into a human and went to ask for the daughter's hand in marriage. The Gao family was fascinated by Ba Jie's strength and so they agree. But as time when on, they notice Ba Jie's true character... and she wants a divorce. Ba Jie was so pissed that he locked up his wife, turns himself back to his true form, a pig demon, and went back to his cave. Ba Jie came to visit his wife every couple of nights pressuring her to accept him. But she will not agree. (who would want to marry a pig, right?? )
Anyway, 2 years passed by. Maybe. I am not so clear on that. ^__^ Monkey King and Xuan Zang passed by. They were invited by the Gao family to capture Ba Jie. Of course Monkey King would agree. He loves to fight. ^___^ Guess who win?? My awesome, fiancee to be, MONKEY KING. hehehehehe.... Monkey King captured Ba Jie and brought him back to his master, Xuan Zang. Ba Jie, once heard Xuan Zang's name, told them that Kuan Yin wants him to go with them on the journey too.
Ba Jie bid his adieu to his wife and parent's in law and off he goes. (I think his wife was pregnant in the JTTW sequel I watch long ago. not sure on the real story)
Zhu Ba Jie is lustful, a coward, lazy and very greedy. (Why is he my hero, again? hehehehehe..) He has 36 transformation powers, unlike Monkey King who has 72. His weapon is a nine-toothed rake. He can fly. He is best fighting in waters, which help Monkey King greatly along the journey. My Monkey King can't fight well under water.=(
Anyway, after his journey, Buddha makes him the "Altar Cleaning God". He can't become a Buddha, because he still have sins. ^___^
