Bro.
- Okay, let's do it.
- This way.
Bro, hang on.
Do you find the monkey over there
interesting?
It's real.
Let's go.
Let me see.
Hello.
Interesting.
Come on.
- Have some.
- You eat.
Eat mine.
One by one.
- Eat.
- Eat mine first.
Eat an apple.
Eat up.
Pull him out.
Pull him out.
Come out!
Wait.
Bros, what are you trying to do?
What's wrong?
Can't we tease you?
You're lying here,
isn't that just for people to tease?
You stinky monkey.
Yeah.
I'm not a stinky monkey.
I am the Monkey King, Sun Wukong.
He really thinks he's the Monkey King.
Bros,
teach him a lesson!
Coming right up!
Let's see how you get out this time.
- Let's go!
- Let's go!
He's a real monkey.
How did he get up there?
I have been trapped under this
Five Elements Mountain for 500 years.
For a whole 500 years.
I have tasted all the warmth and coldness
of the world,
and the fickleness of human nature.
And today I'm being bullied
by you little brats.
Do you think you are the real Sun Wukong?
Take this!
- Hey, hit him.
- Hit him!
Hit him.
Hit him.
Beat this stinky monkey to death.
I am the Monkey King.
[Ice Monkey]
Name.
Monkey King.
Your name is Monkey King?
Yes, I...
I am the Monkey King right now.
Behave yourself.
I'm asking for your real name.
You mean my real name?
Wang Tiedan.
Tell me,
why did you fight with them?
They played me like a monkey.
I play the Monkey King, Sun Wukong.
I'm not a monkey.
I'm a human.
I want to bring joy to the tourists.
I want to interact with them nicely.
But they played me like a monkey.
Officer, do you think this is right?
My eldest grandson is back.
What happened to your face?
Who hit you?
Tell Grandma quickly.
Did you get into a fight?
No, I fell while doing somersaults.
How could you get this hurt
doing somersaults?
My dear grandson, let me tell you,
you can't let down
your godfather and your master.
For you,
they risked everything.
Did you hear me, Grandson?
I know, Grandma.
Well, go to sleep early, okay?
What should I do?
Let me boil an egg to rub on his face.
Dad.
You've left.
Why did you leave me just like that?
What should I do in the future?
Dad...
Dad...
Dad!
Wang Tiedan, what are you doing?
A wild kid like you without a father
still wants to be Sun Wukong?
Exactly.
I'll show you
how I get the role of Sun Wukong.
After my dad left,
Godfather took me in.
Everyone says I should remember
the kindness of two people.
One is my godfather,
the other is my master.
But I know in my heart,
I can remember more than this.
Empty stance, chest in.
My name is Wang Tiedan.
I am the Monkey King.
Pay attention to details.
Hands, feet, eyes.
Tiedan, when we play Sun Wukong,
we can't just do somersaults.
If you only do somersaults,
you're an acrobat.
We opera actors
must be proficient in singing, reciting,
acting, and martial arts.
Only then can you become a real star.
Do you understand?
Again.
Tiedan.
You've graduated now.
How you walk this path in the future
is entirely up to you.
Understood.
Your godfather is right.
How you walk the path in the future
and how you do things,
it all depends on you.
Godfather, Master,
don't worry.
I will definitely find a job
as soon as possible.
I'm sorry.
Your major
doesn't fit our recruitment requirements.
What we need now
is not talent in this area.
You should look elsewhere.
Sorry, go look somewhere else.
The zoo hiring one Monkey King actor.
Monkey King.
Monkey King.
I am the Monkey King.
I am the Monkey King!
This is a newly developed
cultural tourism project.
So we need a lot of cast members.
But it's also very hard work.
It's okay. I'm not afraid of hard work.
I studied monkey opera,
so I can gain the audience's recognition
through practice.
Well,
the cast members we need
might be a bit different from
what you imagine.
Isn't it a Journey to the West theme?
The monkey we need
isn't one that does somersaults
and martial arts.
The monkey we need
is one that can lie on its stomach.
Lie on its stomach?
Yes.
Where?
Under the Five Elements Mountain.
What is this?
They make you lie there all day?
Yes. That's what they told me.
That's what they told you?
Lying there all day?
What kind of cultural tourism project
is this?
Master, whether it's lying down
or standing up,
let me give it a try.
Their cultural tourism project
is called the Journey to the West.
I've been learning monkey opera from you
since I was a kid.
With their new project,
there will definitely be shows to put on
later.
When that time comes,
it will be my time to shine.
Come on.
Can you shine while lying there?
How?
Master.
I can make a name for myself
even lying down.
Master.
I can make a name for myself
even lying down.
Do you believe it?
I don't.
Hey, hello, dear friends.
Welcome to the zoo.
I am currently located
under the Five Elements Mountain
in the zoo.
Buddha trapped Sun Wukong
under the Five Elements Mountain.
Does everyone know
what mistake Sun Wukong made?
He broke the heavenly laws.
Yes, Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in heaven,
broke the heavenly laws,
and received the punishment he deserved.
After a brief introduction,
I'll show you a little trick.
Let your applause drive the music.
Snow on the Flower Fruit Mountain
Wind under the Five Elements Mountain
I am the Great Sage Equal to Heaven,
the Monkey King
My name is Sun Wukong
I can go up to heaven
and down to earth
I am omnipotent
A kid like this, I tell you,
he will definitely be successful
in the future.
But I met the Buddha
And couldn't escape his palm
Okay, thanks for your hard work.
Isn't the monkey cold
lying on this mountain all day?
Why would I be cold? Am I not a monkey?
I have a lot of hair all over my body.
Isn't this stuff cold-resistant?
Then why are you always lying here?
Actually, for such a long time,
I've been waiting for a destined person.
Who is this destined person?
As you know, his name is Tang Seng.
I'm waiting for him to come over
and ask me to go to the West
to get the scriptures.
If he doesn't save me, how can I get out?
Here's one.
A couple, right?
Forever and ever.
Okay.
Mom, look at the monkey.
Monkey!
I am the Monkey King, Sun Wukong.
Do you know who Sun Wukong is?
I know.
Isn't Sun Wukong the one
who defeated the White Bone Demon 3 times,
the Monkey King?
This kid has some literary knowledge,
doesn't she?
Yes, I am the Monkey King, Sun Wukong,
who defeated the White Bone Demon 3 times.
Now I'm lying in Jichang City
waiting to be fed by everyone.
Oh right!
I have something delicious here.
What delicious food?
Look, this kid bought some snow crackers.
I don't eat snow crackers.
I've eaten too many and lost my appetite.
If you eat my snow crackers,
you'll become the Ice Monkey.
Look at this kid,
she gave me a new name, Ice Monkey.
Hand me the phone.
Let's take a picture together.
Okay, let's go.
Ice Monkey.
This is good.
This kid is really funny.
Isn't this the Ice Monkey
that's been trending
the past few days,
Hey, let's go take a look too.
Okay.
Dad, I really like the Ice Monkey.
I'll take you to see him this weekend.
Hello, dear friends.
I am the Ice Monkey.
The performance starts every night at 7pm.
Please follow my live stream.
Be there or be square.
Tap the little red hearts.
This kid speaks well.
Good kid, go ahead.
Brother.
Here, brother.
What are you doing?
What is all this stuff you brought?
Oh my.
Food.
Look at this rotten banana.
Why did you bring so many things?
I was afraid you'd be thirsty and hungry.
Here, eat and enjoy as much as you want.
Here, let me open a bag for you.
Oh my.
Stop laughing.
Your laugh is making me forget
how to laugh.
Have you noticed he looks a bit
like the Bull Demon King?
Right?
Come on, let's take a picture.
Take a picture.
Thanks for bringing so much good food
to see me.
Okay.
What's wrong?
Wukong!
- Wukong, I finally found you!
- Wait.
What's wrong? Don't cry.
Did something happened?
Take this.
Did brother-in-law bully you at home?
Do you know where I came from?
Where did you come from?
Did you come from White Bone Ridge?
Look at your white clothes.
White Bone Ridge is where
the White Bone Demon lives, right?
How could I live there?
Then where else could you be from?
Well,
I came from Zhejiang.
I
Traveled a long way,
across the sea,
to deliver this pig trough,
just for you.
Let's take a picture.
This lady is great.
Isn't this me?
Wang Tiedan?
You think you're Sun Wukong?
Then I'm the Bull Demon King.
Stop!
How can you bully people?
I'll tell the teacher.
You must be
the new transfer student, Wang Tiedan.
I'm the class monitor,
Lin Mumu.
If anyone bullies you again,
just come to me.
Okay.
For you.
Later, I went abroad.
You went abroad?
I went to Paris, France,
to study for 2 years.
No wonder I couldn't contact you.
Mumu.
I didn't expect you
to become a great painter.
What great painter?
I've been seeing
your videos online a lot lately.
They've been all over
the internet and trending.
Otherwise, I really wouldn't have known
this is what you do now.
I remember you liked imitating monkeys
when you were a kid.
I never thought you'd actually grow up
to play a monkey.
I'm not a monkey.
I play a flesh-and-blood Monkey King,
Sun Wukong.
Stop, stop, stop.
Tiedan.
I've been watching you for a long time,
and I've seen your performances.
That's not how you play Sun Wukong!
Master.
I think there are many ways
to play Sun Wukong.
Can you let me try?
There are many ways to play Sun Wukong,
but no matter how you play him,
each approach has its own unique style!
Master, I spend every day lying
under Five Elements Mountain,
and the audience really approves of me.
Okay.
They approve of you, huh?
I'm telling you,
with your performance,
you're still a million miles
from Sun Wukong!
I think the Sun Wukong I portray
has a soul of his own.
Why do I have to play him your way?
Have to play him my way?
Fine.
Then play him your way.
Stay down there forever
and don't get up!
Fine.
Then I'll go stay down there.
You!
He wreaks havoc in the Dragon Palace,
and the seas surge.
He subdues the four seas,
and they bow in submission.
The divine needle transforms
into the Golden Cudgel.
The Golden helmet and armor
are presented to the Monkey King.
How much has your master sacrificed
for you all these years?
Have you forgotten all of that?
That's betraying your master!
What?
So I'm betraying my master now?
Yes!
Godfather,
is that really what you think of me?
What's wrong?
You scolded Tiedan.
He's ignorant.
If I don't scold him,
he'll get out of hand.
You still shouldn't scold him.
He is grown up.
When you scold him like this,
it hurts his self-esteem.
This kid needs to be kept in check
from time to time.
I heard he found a girlfriend.
A girlfriend?
Why didn't I know?
He was such an obedient child
when he was little.
Godfather.
It's okay.
We're almost there.
Stomach flu.
He has been vomiting.
It's okay.
I'll prescribe him some medicine.
He'll get better after taking it.
Okay.
Monkey, monkey.
I'll give you something delicious.
Are you asleep?
Let me give you some water.
Who is it?
What's wrong with you, monkey?
Why did you scare my child?
Yeah, why did you scare the child?
You're lying there
to entertain the tourists, you know?
- Why did you scare the child?
- He is so young.
What if he gets scared?
Tiedan, Tiedan.
Wake up, Tiedan.
Tiedan.
Tiedan.
Hello, is this 911?
Someone fainted here.
Get up!
Hello.
Viewers,
this internet celebrity known
as Wang Tiedan,
has done something like this today
to scare an autistic child.
This is immoral.
We urge everyone
to follow public figures responsibly
and uphold public decency.
Guys, you all saw it.
This is typical ungratefulness
and burning bridges.
I urge everyone here.
We have to boycott people like this
who have no professional integrity.
Everyone should get the facts straight
before commenting.
We don't even know
what really happened here.
It's really not right for you
to cyberbully someone like this.
Guys,
all the news flooding
the internet right now
is pointing at that monkey.
Everyone needs
to keep following this story
while it's still trending.
How did he become like this?
He is getting a bit arrogant.
His mindset has changed a bit.
Tiedan.
That child's parents
are demanding compensation.
What do you say we do?
I didn't scare that kid at all.
Mr. Yang, the staff
on site were all there.
They can prove it.
I know you didn't do anything,
but the child's parents
won't let it go.
Then I'll have to prove I'm innocent.
Prove your innocence?
How will you prove it?
Now the child's parents
are demanding compensation.
That's not a small amount.
The company can't take this on for you.
Tiedan.
I've been seeing
a lot of news about you online lately.
What exactly is going on?
Nothing.
I'll handle it myself.
Wang Tiedan, have you been wronged?
You can tell me if anything happened.
Listen,
in my heart,
you are the Monkey King
who can go anywhere.
No difficulty can defeat you.
Mumu.
I can handle a little unfairness.
It's nothing.
Let's talk when we see each other.
Okay. Yeah.
Dad, Jiang Yan,
why are you guys here?
We're having a few guests over tonight.
Who is he?
This is my elementary school classmate,
Wang Tiedan.
The one who plays a monkey at the zoo?
Yes, that's him.
Don't bring just anyone here
in the future.
By the way, Jiang Yan,
did your painting
of the Snow Monkey on Mount Song sell?
That painting
just sold at Sotheby's fall auction.
It sold for 580,000.
Good for you.
One of his paintings sold for 580,000?
Yes.
And that's not even
the most expensive one.
One of his paintings previously sold
for over two million.
Compared to you guys,
I really am just a monkey.
What do you mean?
I'm leaving.
Wang Tiedan, where are you going?
From now on, I'll take care of getting you
to and from work.
If Monkey Sun comes after me,
wouldn't that make me Fairy Zixia?
Life is a play
That is too hard to write with a pen
Don't bring just anyone here
in the future.
How do you make sense of all the joys
and sorrows?
Compared to you guys,
I really am a monkey.
The paths of past and present lives
intertwine
Roaming across the three realms
Wandering day and night
I just don't understand
how that stinky monkey
turned out like this today.
No matter what,
Trees on Flower Fruit Mountain
you can't offend the people who feed you.
Flowers bloom and fade
Now you all see this influencer
for who he really is, right?
People like this should be boycotted.
Waiting in peace beneath Mount
Five Elements for a thousand years
Don't be fooled by him.
The frost and snow
are even more biting
Tempered in Laojun's furnace
The Golden Cudgel, a hot brick bed,
Grandpa beats the drum
while Grandma sings.
Forged into steel
Ragged shoes and tattered clothes.
You play the Monkey King? What a joke!
A proud spirit, hard as iron
I have feelings
Love burns fiercely
That's betraying your master!
The true heart of heaven and earth
still burns bright
So I'm betraying my master now?
Is that what you think of me?
Why did the Little Dragon Maiden have to
say goodbye?
I think the Sun Wukong I portray.
A bond from a past life
has a soul of his own.
A curse in this life
Why do I have to act it your way?
Don't say the script
is too hard to write
I'm telling you,
Blame it on fate's wine,
too strong to drink
with your performance,
you're still
a million miles from Sun Wukong!
Drain the cup in the Eastern Sea
and swallow this bitter taste
You're still a million miles
from Sun Wukong!
Staggering with drunken eyes
I'll brave the world again
I have feelings
Love burns fiercely
The true heart of heaven and earth
still burns bright
Why did the Little Dragon Maiden have to
say goodbye?
You two.
I've watched him before.
He's very serious when performing.
But now the comments online
say he went on strike.
You've seen the feedback online, right?
We need to figure something out
and give the tourists an answer.
I think my apprentice's character
and work attitude are fine.
I have an idea.
Let's do this.
Master.
You wanted to see me?
Tiedan.
I heard you went on strike.
What's going on?
Master, please believe me, I...
Tiedan.
Respecting the audience is the bare minimum
when you perform on stage.
Don't you understand that?
Master.
I just want to bring joy
and happiness to my audience.
I don't have any other intentions.
Rest assured.
I will handle it myself.
Okay.
I believe in you.
Thank you, Master.
Everyone, let me clear something up.
That day, Wang Tiedan
didn't intentionally scare our child.
He had a high fever that day.
It wasn't Tiedan's fault.
Hello, everyone.
My name is Wang Tiedan.
Today my team and I are here
to show our sincerity.
Like everyone's been saying,
I am the Ice Monkey.
Ice Monkey, Ice Monkey,
no worries, come what may.
I also wish everyone happiness,
and I wish Dong
lots of happiness!
Happiness!
Happiness!
Thank you.
Though I'm no monkey
I know how to play one
I can sing, act, and do somersaults
I've tasted the bitterness of life
I've shed my share of tears
The path I've chosen to walk
I will never turn back
Dad,
is the Ice Monkey from Jichang?
Yes, the Ice Monkey is from Jichang.
Though I'm no monkey
I know how to play one
I can sing, act, and do somersaults
I've tasted the bitterness of life
I've shed my share of tears
The path I've chosen to walk
I've tasted the bitterness of life
I've shed my share of tears
Guys,
after the incident
where the child was scared,
The path I've chosen to walk
the Ice Monkey is back in the spotlight.
Wang Tiedan has also become
a cultural symbol of this city.
I will never turn back
Watch the Ice Monkey,
and all your worries will disappear.
I've tasted the bitterness of life
I've shed my share of tears
The path I've chosen to walk
I will never turn back
I will never turn back
Hello, my dear friends!
I, Sun Wukong, am back again!
- Welcome home, Monkey King!
- Welcome home, Monkey King!
- Monkey King!
- Monkey King!
My dear grandson!
Time to eat!
Eat up. The fish I cooked is ready.
My dear grandson,
it wasn't easy to get this job.
You have to work hard.
Sure, come on.
Go ahead. Go ahead.
Wukong.
- Hello.
- Hello.
I specially brought this from Mount Emei,
a Sichuan specialty for you,
Emei Xueya (green tea).
Just put it here for now.
You're from Mount Emei, aren't you?
I heard there are quite a lot of monkeys
on Mount Emei.
Yes.
The monkeys there
are not afraid of people.
They are good friends of humans.
Someday,
I'll go to Mount Emei
and invite a few monkeys
to keep me company.
I'm so lonely here.
Sure, sure.
Come on, let's take a picture together.
Alright!
Thank you!
- Ice Monkey.
- Hello.
I came from Changsha, Hunan.
From Changsha.
Can we take a picture together?
Sure, my friend from out of town.
Come on.
Alright.
Thank you.
Welcome, friends from all over the country
to the Spring City of the North
to see me.
Good boy. Thank you.
Look ahead.
Ice Monkey, I love you!
Alright.
Next one is for you.
Thank you.
He looks okay.
What's so good about this?
Dad, what are you doing?
This young man,
no matter how excellent he is,
is not your type.
Why?
You tell me why.
You two are not
from the same world at all.
What kind of family are we?
What kind of family is he from?
There's a gap between you two.
You will know the pain in the future.
Let me tell you,
give up those
unrealistic thoughts.
I've been through this.
I won't trick you.
Dad.
Tiedan is really excellent.
I believe in him.
I just want to be with him.
You!
Tiedan.
Since the last storm passed,
your reputation as the Ice Monkey
has been growing.
Especially this time,
we went to visit the school,
which also let everyone know
that you are a caring monkey.
Mr. Yang,
I'm not a monkey.
I'm playing Sun Wukong, the Monkey King.
And I'm Keeper of the Heavenly Horses.
Isn't the Monkey King
also a handsome monkey?
Come on.
I've been thinking these 2 days
if we should spice it up.
Spice it up how?
Like when you interact with tourists,
tell some funny jokes.
Then we can start a live stream.
Then the whole country
and even the whole world
will know that our zoo
has an Ice Monkey.
Lin Mumu, you...
Why are you here?
What's wrong? Can't I come?
Are you still bothered
by what my dad said?
Didn't I tell you?
My dad is just like that.
He speaks without thinking.
Don't take it personally.
Alright, get in. I'll take you home.
Let's go.
Why did you suddenly come looking for me?
I saw you're getting popular
again recently,
so I thought I'd come
and ride your coattails.
You missed me, didn't you?
You're really confident.
Mumu.
I thought about it,
and I don't think we're a good match.
Why?
Because you should be with Jiang Yan,
who sold a painting for 500,000.
Do you know who Jiang Yan is?
Who is he?
He was the one
who ranked last in our class,
the one everyone called Big Snot,
Qian Dajun.
Isn't his surname Qian?
Why is he called Jiang Yan now?
You don't know?
His mother remarried later
to a painter surnamed Jiang,
so he took his stepfather's surname.
So that's how it is.
Mumu,
just drop me off
at the intersection ahead.
- I'm almost home.
- Okay.
Thank you, Mumu.
Don't mention it.
I'm leaving.
Drive safely.
Bye-bye.
Why are you off work so late today,
my dear grandson?
A classmate came to see me,
and I went out to eat with them.
A classmate?
A male or female classmate?
Why are you asking this?
Come on, my dear grandson,
tell me the truth.
Are you dating someone?
Who could I be dating?
Me, dating?
I'm just a kid from a poor family.
Who would want to date me?
My dear grandson,
then tell me where you got
that mark on your face.
Why are you asking so many questions?
You brat!
Lying to me.
Stop right there!
Stop right there!
Stop!
Hurry up and tell me
what that girl is like.
I'm leaving, Grandma.
Where are you going, my dear grandson?
My master said
he wants me to rehearse.
"The Real and Fake Sun Wukong" once more.
I have to hurry over to him now.
My dear grandson,
if you have time,
go back to our hometown.
Visit your dad's
grave.
Okay, I got it.
I'll go after I'm done
with work these next few days.
- It's good to be busy.
- I'm leaving.
It's good to be busy.
Master.
Do you think I'm a little rusty?
There's an old saying,
"Never stop practicing your punches,
and never stop practicing your singing."
Kung fu is something
that gets rusty
if you skip a day of practice.
Haven't I always told you
to practice for at least
2 hours every day?
Then I won't go to work.
You have to work,
but you can't stop practicing kung fu.
If you neglect your kung fu,
what's the point of working?
Then what do you think
of the somersaults I just did?
Somersaults.
Haven't I told you before?
Somersaults
are just a means.
What is kung fu?
Kung fu serves to shape a character.
You need to use somersaults
to capture the spirit of the Monkey King
and bring it to life.
If you only know how to do somersaults,
you're just an acrobat.
You can't become an artist.
Do you understand?
I understand, Master.
Thank you, Master.
Why don't you quit
and come be my manager?
How could I do that job?
Besides, your dad doesn't like me.
Look at you, there you go again.
My dad just said that casually.
Besides, he has no right
to interfere with my love life.
Really?
What?
Are you going back to the zoo
to play Sun Wukong for the crowd?
Looks good!
Let's go.
Ice Monkey.
He really likes you.
He adores me, huh?
Can he give you a kiss?
If he doesn't mind
getting a mouthful of hair,
I'll kiss him.
Come on, make way!
Make way!
Tiedan, hurry!
Your grandma is sick again!
Wait for me a moment!
Grandma!
Come, bring the Angong Pill.
You can come in now.
Grandma, how are you?
My dear grandson, you're here.
Dr. Qi, my grandma...
It's fine.
She took one Angong Pill,
and she'll be fine.
Take this medicine back.
Thank you, Dr. Qi.
Alright, no problem.
Dad.
I've come back to see you.
I've grown up now,
and I have my own job.
You don't have to worry about me
in the afterlife.
Not only do I have a good godfather,
but I also have a good master.
With their help and support
over the years,
I have gained a foothold in the city.
Dad.
I miss you.
Don't worry.
I will definitely make something of myself
to bring comfort to your soul in heaven.
I know rice snow crackers are dry
and scratch my throat.
But that's how life is.
No matter how hard the pain is to swallow,
you still have to swallow it.
The Five Elements Mountain is cold,
but love
will make stones bloom.
[Even with an ordinary start,
never surrender to life.]
Ice Monkey!
- Ice Monkey!
- Ice Monkey!
- Ice Monkey!
- Ice Monkey!
The snow
on the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit
The wind at the foot
of the Five Elements Mountain
I'm the Great Sage Equal to Heaven,
the Handsome Monkey King
My name is Sun Wukong
I can go up to heaven
and down to earth
I am omnipotent
I met the Buddha
And couldn't escape his palm
Suffering
under the Five Elements Mountain
I was trapped here, unable to move
Gazing afar
at the Great Tang in the East
I was waiting for the Tang Monk
I can go up to heaven
and down to earth
I am omnipotent
I met the Buddha
And couldn't escape his palm
Suffering
under the Five Elements Mountain
I was trapped here, unable to move
Gazing afar
at the Great Tang in the East
I was waiting for the Tang Monk
Suffering

Yes, because I...
How should I put it?
Getting this job,
to be honest, wasn't easy at all.
Because when I first applied,
it didn't go very smoothly.
Everyone also felt...
And I was also
embarrassed about this job at first.
I wondered what kind of job this was
and why I had to lie here.
I'll slowly get used to it.
I also hope netizens online
will support me more
and give me more encouragement.
I will do this job well.
Standing outside the cave,
shouting loudly
Sister-in-Law, please listen to me
I've come to borrow the Plantain Fan
And catch up on old times with you
Hearing that Sun the Ascetic has come
Rakshasi's anger flared up
She stepped out of the ancient cave
Seeing the monkey made her annoyed
Why have you come to my Mount Tiecha?
I'm protecting my master
on his journey to get the scriptures
Passing by the Flaming Mountains
I heard you forged a Plantain Fan
Which can extinguish
both fire and smoke
Lend the fan to me
So we can put out the fire
and cross the mountain
a new interactive show,
"Monkey King
under the Five Elements Mountain."
Tourists are welcome to participate.
Our park has opened
a new interactive show,
"Monkey King
under the Five Elements Mountain."
Tourists are welcome to participate.
Bro.
- Okay, let's do it.
- This way.
Bro, hang on.
Do you find the monkey over there
interesting?
It's real.
Let's go.
Let me see.
Hello.
Interesting.
Come on.
- Have some.
- You eat.
Eat mine.
One by one.
- Eat.
- Eat mine first.
Eat an apple.
Eat up.
Pull him out.
Pull him out.
Come out!
Wait.
Bros, what are you trying to do?
What's wrong?
Can't we tease you?
You're lying here,
isn't that just for people to tease?
You stinky monkey.
Yeah.
I'm not a stinky monkey.
I am the Monkey King, Sun Wukong.
He really thinks he's the Monkey King.
Bros,
teach him a lesson!
Coming right up!
Let's see how you get out this time.
- Let's go!
- Let's go!
He's a real monkey.
How did he get up there?
I have been trapped under this
Five Elements Mountain for 500 years.
For a whole 500 years.
I have tasted all the warmth and coldness
of the world,
and the fickleness of human nature.
And today I'm being bullied
by you little brats.
Do you think you are the real Sun Wukong?
Take this!
- Hey, hit him.
- Hit him!
Hit him.
Hit him.
Beat this stinky monkey to death.
I am the Monkey King.
[Ice Monkey]
Name.
Monkey King.
Your name is Monkey King?
Yes, I...
I am the Monkey King right now.
Behave yourself.
I'm asking for your real name.
You mean my real name?
Wang Tiedan.
Tell me,
why did you fight with them?
They played me like a monkey.
I play the Monkey King, Sun Wukong.
I'm not a monkey.
I'm a human.
I want to bring joy to the tourists.
I want to interact with them nicely.
But they played me like a monkey.
Officer, do you think this is right?
My eldest grandson is back.
What happened to your face?
Who hit you?
Tell Grandma quickly.
Did you get into a fight?
No, I fell while doing somersaults.
How could you get this hurt
doing somersaults?
My dear grandson, let me tell you,
you can't let down
your godfather and your master.
For you,
they risked everything.
Did you hear me, Grandson?
I know, Grandma.
Well, go to sleep early, okay?
What should I do?
Let me boil an egg to rub on his face.
Dad.
You've left.
Why did you leave me just like that?
What should I do in the future?
Dad...
Dad...
Dad!
Wang Tiedan, what are you doing?
A wild kid like you without a father
still wants to be Sun Wukong?
Exactly.
I'll show you
how I get the role of Sun Wukong.
After my dad left,
Godfather took me in.
Everyone says I should remember
the kindness of two people.
One is my godfather,
the other is my master.
But I know in my heart,
I can remember more than this.
Empty stance, chest in.
My name is Wang Tiedan.
I am the Monkey King.
Pay attention to details.
Hands, feet, eyes.
Tiedan, when we play Sun Wukong,
we can't just do somersaults.
If you only do somersaults,
you're an acrobat.
We opera actors
must be proficient in singing, reciting,
acting, and martial arts.
Only then can you become a real star.
Do you understand?
Again.
Tiedan.
You've graduated now.
How you walk this path in the future
is entirely up to you.
Understood.
Your godfather is right.
How you walk the path in the future
and how you do things,
it all depends on you.
Godfather, Master,
don't worry.
I will definitely find a job
as soon as possible.
I'm sorry.
Your major
doesn't fit our recruitment requirements.
What we need now
is not talent in this area.
You should look elsewhere.
Sorry, go look somewhere else.
The zoo hiring one Monkey King actor.
Monkey King.
Monkey King.
I am the Monkey King.
I am the Monkey King!
This is a newly developed
cultural tourism project.
So we need a lot of cast members.
But it's also very hard work.
It's okay. I'm not afraid of hard work.
I studied monkey opera,
so I can gain the audience's recognition
through practice.
Well,
the cast members we need
might be a bit different from
what you imagine.
Isn't it a Journey to the West theme?
The monkey we need
isn't one that does somersaults
and martial arts.
The monkey we need
is one that can lie on its stomach.
Lie on its stomach?
Yes.
Where?
Under the Five Elements Mountain.
What is this?
They make you lie there all day?
Yes. That's what they told me.
That's what they told you?
Lying there all day?
What kind of cultural tourism project
is this?
Master, whether it's lying down
or standing up,
let me give it a try.
Their cultural tourism project
is called the Journey to the West.
I've been learning monkey opera from you
since I was a kid.
With their new project,
there will definitely be shows to put on
later.
When that time comes,
it will be my time to shine.
Come on.
Can you shine while lying there?
How?
Master.
I can make a name for myself
even lying down.
Master.
I can make a name for myself
even lying down.
Do you believe it?
I don't.
Hey, hello, dear friends.
Welcome to the zoo.
I am currently located
under the Five Elements Mountain
in the zoo.
Buddha trapped Sun Wukong
under the Five Elements Mountain.
Does everyone know
what mistake Sun Wukong made?
He broke the heavenly laws.
Yes, Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in heaven,
broke the heavenly laws,
and received the punishment he deserved.
After a brief introduction,
I'll show you a little trick.
Let your applause drive the music.
Snow on the Flower Fruit Mountain
Wind under the Five Elements Mountain
I am the Great Sage Equal to Heaven,
the Monkey King
My name is Sun Wukong
I can go up to heaven
and down to earth
I am omnipotent
A kid like this, I tell you,
he will definitely be successful
in the future.
But I met the Buddha
And couldn't escape his palm
Okay, thanks for your hard work.
Isn't the monkey cold
lying on this mountain all day?
Why would I be cold? Am I not a monkey?
I have a lot of hair all over my body.
Isn't this stuff cold-resistant?
Then why are you always lying here?
Actually, for such a long time,
I've been waiting for a destined person.
Who is this destined person?
As you know, his name is Tang Seng.
I'm waiting for him to come over
and ask me to go to the West
to get the scriptures.
If he doesn't save me, how can I get out?
Here's one.
A couple, right?
Forever and ever.
Okay.
Mom, look at the monkey.
Monkey!
I am the Monkey King, Sun Wukong.
Do you know who Sun Wukong is?
I know.
Isn't Sun Wukong the one
who defeated the White Bone Demon 3 times,
the Monkey King?
This kid has some literary knowledge,
doesn't she?
Yes, I am the Monkey King, Sun Wukong,
who defeated the White Bone Demon 3 times.
Now I'm lying in Jichang City
waiting to be fed by everyone.
Oh right!
I have something delicious here.
What delicious food?
Look, this kid bought some snow crackers.
I don't eat snow crackers.
I've eaten too many and lost my appetite.
If you eat my snow crackers,
you'll become the Ice Monkey.
Look at this kid,
she gave me a new name, Ice Monkey.
Hand me the phone.
Let's take a picture together.
Okay, let's go.
Ice Monkey.
This is good.
This kid is really funny.
Isn't this the Ice Monkey
that's been trending
the past few days,
Hey, let's go take a look too.
Okay.
Dad, I really like the Ice Monkey.
I'll take you to see him this weekend.
Hello, dear friends.
I am the Ice Monkey.
The performance starts every night at 7pm.
Please follow my live stream.
Be there or be square.
Tap the little red hearts.
This kid speaks well.
Good kid, go ahead.
Brother.
Here, brother.
What are you doing?
What is all this stuff you brought?
Oh my.
Food.
Look at this rotten banana.
Why did you bring so many things?
I was afraid you'd be thirsty and hungry.
Here, eat and enjoy as much as you want.
Here, let me open a bag for you.
Oh my.
Stop laughing.
Your laugh is making me forget
how to laugh.
Have you noticed he looks a bit
like the Bull Demon King?
Right?
Come on, let's take a picture.
Take a picture.
Thanks for bringing so much good food
to see me.
Okay.
What's wrong?
Wukong!
- Wukong, I finally found you!
- Wait.
What's wrong? Don't cry.
Did something happened?
Take this.
Did brother-in-law bully you at home?
Do you know where I came from?
Where did you come from?
Did you come from White Bone Ridge?
Look at your white clothes.
White Bone Ridge is where
the White Bone Demon lives, right?
How could I live there?
Then where else could you be from?
Well,
I came from Zhejiang.
I
Traveled a long way,
across the sea,
to deliver this pig trough,
just for you.
Let's take a picture.
This lady is great.
Isn't this me?
Wang Tiedan?
You think you're Sun Wukong?
Then I'm the Bull Demon King.
Stop!
How can you bully people?
I'll tell the teacher.
You must be
the new transfer student, Wang Tiedan.
I'm the class monitor,
Lin Mumu.
If anyone bullies you again,
just come to me.
Okay.
For you.
Later, I went abroad.
You went abroad?
I went to Paris, France,
to study for 2 years.
No wonder I couldn't contact you.
Mumu.
I didn't expect you
to become a great painter.
What great painter?
I've been seeing
your videos online a lot lately.
They've been all over
the internet and trending.
Otherwise, I really wouldn't have known
this is what you do now.
I remember you liked imitating monkeys
when you were a kid.
I never thought you'd actually grow up
to play a monkey.
I'm not a monkey.
I play a flesh-and-blood Monkey King,
Sun Wukong.
Stop, stop, stop.
Tiedan.
I've been watching you for a long time,
and I've seen your performances.
That's not how you play Sun Wukong!
Master.
I think there are many ways
to play Sun Wukong.
Can you let me try?
There are many ways to play Sun Wukong,
but no matter how you play him,
each approach has its own unique style!
Master, I spend every day lying
under Five Elements Mountain,
and the audience really approves of me.
Okay.
They approve of you, huh?
I'm telling you,
with your performance,
you're still a million miles
from Sun Wukong!
I think the Sun Wukong I portray
has a soul of his own.
Why do I have to play him your way?
Have to play him my way?
Fine.
Then play him your way.
Stay down there forever
and don't get up!
Fine.
Then I'll go stay down there.
You!
He wreaks havoc in the Dragon Palace,
and the seas surge.
He subdues the four seas,
and they bow in submission.
The divine needle transforms
into the Golden Cudgel.
The Golden helmet and armor
are presented to the Monkey King.
How much has your master sacrificed
for you all these years?
Have you forgotten all of that?
That's betraying your master!
What?
So I'm betraying my master now?
Yes!
Godfather,
is that really what you think of me?
What's wrong?
You scolded Tiedan.
He's ignorant.
If I don't scold him,
he'll get out of hand.
You still shouldn't scold him.
He is grown up.
When you scold him like this,
it hurts his self-esteem.
This kid needs to be kept in check
from time to time.
I heard he found a girlfriend.
A girlfriend?
Why didn't I know?
He was such an obedient child
when he was little.
Godfather.
It's okay.
We're almost there.
Stomach flu.
He has been vomiting.
It's okay.
I'll prescribe him some medicine.
He'll get better after taking it.
Okay.
Monkey, monkey.
I'll give you something delicious.
Are you asleep?
Let me give you some water.
Who is it?
What's wrong with you, monkey?
Why did you scare my child?
Yeah, why did you scare the child?
You're lying there
to entertain the tourists, you know?
- Why did you scare the child?
- He is so young.
What if he gets scared?
Tiedan, Tiedan.
Wake up, Tiedan.
Tiedan.
Tiedan.
Hello, is this 911?
Someone fainted here.
Get up!
Hello.
Viewers,
this internet celebrity known
as Wang Tiedan,
has done something like this today
to scare an autistic child.
This is immoral.
We urge everyone
to follow public figures responsibly
and uphold public decency.
Guys, you all saw it.
This is typical ungratefulness
and burning bridges.
I urge everyone here.
We have to boycott people like this
who have no professional integrity.
Everyone should get the facts straight
before commenting.
We don't even know
what really happened here.
It's really not right for you
to cyberbully someone like this.
Guys,
all the news flooding
the internet right now
is pointing at that monkey.
Everyone needs
to keep following this story
while it's still trending.
How did he become like this?
He is getting a bit arrogant.
His mindset has changed a bit.
Tiedan.
That child's parents
are demanding compensation.
What do you say we do?
I didn't scare that kid at all.
Mr. Yang, the staff
on site were all there.
They can prove it.
I know you didn't do anything,
but the child's parents
won't let it go.
Then I'll have to prove I'm innocent.
Prove your innocence?
How will you prove it?
Now the child's parents
are demanding compensation.
That's not a small amount.
The company can't take this on for you.
Tiedan.
I've been seeing
a lot of news about you online lately.
What exactly is going on?
Nothing.
I'll handle it myself.
Wang Tiedan, have you been wronged?
You can tell me if anything happened.
Listen,
in my heart,
you are the Monkey King
who can go anywhere.
No difficulty can defeat you.
Mumu.
I can handle a little unfairness.
It's nothing.
Let's talk when we see each other.
Okay. Yeah.
Dad, Jiang Yan,
why are you guys here?
We're having a few guests over tonight.
Who is he?
This is my elementary school classmate,
Wang Tiedan.
The one who plays a monkey at the zoo?
Yes, that's him.
Don't bring just anyone here
in the future.
By the way, Jiang Yan,
did your painting
of the Snow Monkey on Mount Song sell?
That painting
just sold at Sotheby's fall auction.
It sold for 580,000.
Good for you.
One of his paintings sold for 580,000?
Yes.
And that's not even
the most expensive one.
One of his paintings previously sold
for over two million.
Compared to you guys,
I really am just a monkey.
What do you mean?
I'm leaving.
Wang Tiedan, where are you going?
From now on, I'll take care of getting you
to and from work.
If Monkey Sun comes after me,
wouldn't that make me Fairy Zixia?
Life is a play
That is too hard to write with a pen
Don't bring just anyone here
in the future.
How do you make sense of all the joys
and sorrows?
Compared to you guys,
I really am a monkey.
The paths of past and present lives
intertwine
Roaming across the three realms
Wandering day and night
I just don't understand
how that stinky monkey
turned out like this today.
No matter what,
Trees on Flower Fruit Mountain
you can't offend the people who feed you.
Flowers bloom and fade
Now you all see this influencer
for who he really is, right?
People like this should be boycotted.
Waiting in peace beneath Mount
Five Elements for a thousand years
Don't be fooled by him.
The frost and snow
are even more biting
Tempered in Laojun's furnace
The Golden Cudgel, a hot brick bed,
Grandpa beats the drum
while Grandma sings.
Forged into steel
Ragged shoes and tattered clothes.
You play the Monkey King? What a joke!
A proud spirit, hard as iron
I have feelings
Love burns fiercely
That's betraying your master!
The true heart of heaven and earth
still burns bright
So I'm betraying my master now?
Is that what you think of me?
Why did the Little Dragon Maiden have to
say goodbye?
I think the Sun Wukong I portray.
A bond from a past life
has a soul of his own.
A curse in this life
Why do I have to act it your way?
Don't say the script
is too hard to write
I'm telling you,
Blame it on fate's wine,
too strong to drink
with your performance,
you're still
a million miles from Sun Wukong!
Drain the cup in the Eastern Sea
and swallow this bitter taste
You're still a million miles
from Sun Wukong!
Staggering with drunken eyes
I'll brave the world again
I have feelings
Love burns fiercely
The true heart of heaven and earth
still burns bright
Why did the Little Dragon Maiden have to
say goodbye?
You two.
I've watched him before.
He's very serious when performing.
But now the comments online
say he went on strike.
You've seen the feedback online, right?
We need to figure something out
and give the tourists an answer.
I think my apprentice's character
and work attitude are fine.
I have an idea.
Let's do this.
Master.
You wanted to see me?
Tiedan.
I heard you went on strike.
What's going on?
Master, please believe me, I...
Tiedan.
Respecting the audience is the bare minimum
when you perform on stage.
Don't you understand that?
Master.
I just want to bring joy
and happiness to my audience.
I don't have any other intentions.
Rest assured.
I will handle it myself.
Okay.
I believe in you.
Thank you, Master.
Everyone, let me clear something up.
That day, Wang Tiedan
didn't intentionally scare our child.
He had a high fever that day.
It wasn't Tiedan's fault.
Hello, everyone.
My name is Wang Tiedan.
Today my team and I are here
to show our sincerity.
Like everyone's been saying,
I am the Ice Monkey.
Ice Monkey, Ice Monkey,
no worries, come what may.
I also wish everyone happiness,
and I wish Dong
lots of happiness!
Happiness!
Happiness!
Thank you.
Though I'm no monkey
I know how to play one
I can sing, act, and do somersaults
I've tasted the bitterness of life
I've shed my share of tears
The path I've chosen to walk
I will never turn back
Dad,
is the Ice Monkey from Jichang?
Yes, the Ice Monkey is from Jichang.
Though I'm no monkey
I know how to play one
I can sing, act, and do somersaults
I've tasted the bitterness of life
I've shed my share of tears
The path I've chosen to walk
I've tasted the bitterness of life
I've shed my share of tears
Guys,
after the incident
where the child was scared,
The path I've chosen to walk
the Ice Monkey is back in the spotlight.
Wang Tiedan has also become
a cultural symbol of this city.
I will never turn back
Watch the Ice Monkey,
and all your worries will disappear.
I've tasted the bitterness of life
I've shed my share of tears
The path I've chosen to walk
I will never turn back
I will never turn back
Hello, my dear friends!
I, Sun Wukong, am back again!
- Welcome home, Monkey King!
- Welcome home, Monkey King!
- Monkey King!
- Monkey King!
My dear grandson!
Time to eat!
Eat up. The fish I cooked is ready.
My dear grandson,
it wasn't easy to get this job.
You have to work hard.
Sure, come on.
Go ahead. Go ahead.
Wukong.
- Hello.
- Hello.
I specially brought this from Mount Emei,
a Sichuan specialty for you,
Emei Xueya (green tea).
Just put it here for now.
You're from Mount Emei, aren't you?
I heard there are quite a lot of monkeys
on Mount Emei.
Yes.
The monkeys there
are not afraid of people.
They are good friends of humans.
Someday,
I'll go to Mount Emei
and invite a few monkeys
to keep me company.
I'm so lonely here.
Sure, sure.
Come on, let's take a picture together.
Alright!
Thank you!
- Ice Monkey.
- Hello.
I came from Changsha, Hunan.
From Changsha.
Can we take a picture together?
Sure, my friend from out of town.
Come on.
Alright.
Thank you.
Welcome, friends from all over the country
to the Spring City of the North
to see me.
Good boy. Thank you.
Look ahead.
Ice Monkey, I love you!
Alright.
Next one is for you.
Thank you.
He looks okay.
What's so good about this?
Dad, what are you doing?
This young man,
no matter how excellent he is,
is not your type.
Why?
You tell me why.
You two are not
from the same world at all.
What kind of family are we?
What kind of family is he from?
There's a gap between you two.
You will know the pain in the future.
Let me tell you,
give up those
unrealistic thoughts.
I've been through this.
I won't trick you.
Dad.
Tiedan is really excellent.
I believe in him.
I just want to be with him.
You!
Tiedan.
Since the last storm passed,
your reputation as the Ice Monkey
has been growing.
Especially this time,
we went to visit the school,
which also let everyone know
that you are a caring monkey.
Mr. Yang,
I'm not a monkey.
I'm playing Sun Wukong, the Monkey King.
And I'm Keeper of the Heavenly Horses.
Isn't the Monkey King
also a handsome monkey?
Come on.
I've been thinking these 2 days
if we should spice it up.
Spice it up how?
Like when you interact with tourists,
tell some funny jokes.
Then we can start a live stream.
Then the whole country
and even the whole world
will know that our zoo
has an Ice Monkey.
Lin Mumu, you...
Why are you here?
What's wrong? Can't I come?
Are you still bothered
by what my dad said?
Didn't I tell you?
My dad is just like that.
He speaks without thinking.
Don't take it personally.
Alright, get in. I'll take you home.
Let's go.
Why did you suddenly come looking for me?
I saw you're getting popular
again recently,
so I thought I'd come
and ride your coattails.
You missed me, didn't you?
You're really confident.
Mumu.
I thought about it,
and I don't think we're a good match.
Why?
Because you should be with Jiang Yan,
who sold a painting for 500,000.
Do you know who Jiang Yan is?
Who is he?
He was the one
who ranked last in our class,
the one everyone called Big Snot,
Qian Dajun.
Isn't his surname Qian?
Why is he called Jiang Yan now?
You don't know?
His mother remarried later
to a painter surnamed Jiang,
so he took his stepfather's surname.
So that's how it is.
Mumu,
just drop me off
at the intersection ahead.
- I'm almost home.
- Okay.
Thank you, Mumu.
Don't mention it.
I'm leaving.
Drive safely.
Bye-bye.
Why are you off work so late today,
my dear grandson?
A classmate came to see me,
and I went out to eat with them.
A classmate?
A male or female classmate?
Why are you asking this?
Come on, my dear grandson,
tell me the truth.
Are you dating someone?
Who could I be dating?
Me, dating?
I'm just a kid from a poor family.
Who would want to date me?
My dear grandson,
then tell me where you got
that mark on your face.
Why are you asking so many questions?
You brat!
Lying to me.
Stop right there!
Stop right there!
Stop!
Hurry up and tell me
what that girl is like.
I'm leaving, Grandma.
Where are you going, my dear grandson?
My master said
he wants me to rehearse.
"The Real and Fake Sun Wukong" once more.
I have to hurry over to him now.
My dear grandson,
if you have time,
go back to our hometown.
Visit your dad's
grave.
Okay, I got it.
I'll go after I'm done
with work these next few days.
- It's good to be busy.
- I'm leaving.
It's good to be busy.
Master.
Do you think I'm a little rusty?
There's an old saying,
"Never stop practicing your punches,
and never stop practicing your singing."
Kung fu is something
that gets rusty
if you skip a day of practice.
Haven't I always told you
to practice for at least
2 hours every day?
Then I won't go to work.
You have to work,
but you can't stop practicing kung fu.
If you neglect your kung fu,
what's the point of working?
Then what do you think
of the somersaults I just did?
Somersaults.
Haven't I told you before?
Somersaults
are just a means.
What is kung fu?
Kung fu serves to shape a character.
You need to use somersaults
to capture the spirit of the Monkey King
and bring it to life.
If you only know how to do somersaults,
you're just an acrobat.
You can't become an artist.
Do you understand?
I understand, Master.
Thank you, Master.
Why don't you quit
and come be my manager?
How could I do that job?
Besides, your dad doesn't like me.
Look at you, there you go again.
My dad just said that casually.
Besides, he has no right
to interfere with my love life.
Really?
What?
Are you going back to the zoo
to play Sun Wukong for the crowd?
Looks good!
Let's go.
Ice Monkey.
He really likes you.
He adores me, huh?
Can he give you a kiss?
If he doesn't mind
getting a mouthful of hair,
I'll kiss him.
Come on, make way!
Make way!
Tiedan, hurry!
Your grandma is sick again!
Wait for me a moment!
Grandma!
Come, bring the Angong Pill.
You can come in now.
Grandma, how are you?
My dear grandson, you're here.
Dr. Qi, my grandma...
It's fine.
She took one Angong Pill,
and she'll be fine.
Take this medicine back.
Thank you, Dr. Qi.
Alright, no problem.
Dad.
I've come back to see you.
I've grown up now,
and I have my own job.
You don't have to worry about me
in the afterlife.
Not only do I have a good godfather,
but I also have a good master.
With their help and support
over the years,
I have gained a foothold in the city.
Dad.
I miss you.
Don't worry.
I will definitely make something of myself
to bring comfort to your soul in heaven.
I know rice snow crackers are dry
and scratch my throat.
But that's how life is.
No matter how hard the pain is to swallow,
you still have to swallow it.
The Five Elements Mountain is cold,
but love
will make stones bloom.
[Even with an ordinary start,
never surrender to life.]
Ice Monkey!
- Ice Monkey!
- Ice Monkey!
- Ice Monkey!
- Ice Monkey!
The snow
on the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit
The wind at the foot
of the Five Elements Mountain
I'm the Great Sage Equal to Heaven,
the Handsome Monkey King
My name is Sun Wukong
I can go up to heaven
and down to earth
I am omnipotent
I met the Buddha
And couldn't escape his palm
Suffering
under the Five Elements Mountain
I was trapped here, unable to move
Gazing afar
at the Great Tang in the East
I was waiting for the Tang Monk
I can go up to heaven
and down to earth
I am omnipotent
I met the Buddha
And couldn't escape his palm
Suffering
under the Five Elements Mountain
I was trapped here, unable to move
Gazing afar
at the Great Tang in the East
I was waiting for the Tang Monk
Suffering

Yes, because I...
How should I put it?
Getting this job,
to be honest, wasn't easy at all.
Because when I first applied,
it didn't go very smoothly.
Everyone also felt...
And I was also
embarrassed about this job at first.
I wondered what kind of job this was
and why I had to lie here.
I'll slowly get used to it.
I also hope netizens online
will support me more
and give me more encouragement.
I will do this job well.
Standing outside the cave,
shouting loudly
Sister-in-Law, please listen to me
I've come to borrow the Plantain Fan
And catch up on old times with you
Hearing that Sun the Ascetic has come
Rakshasi's anger flared up
She stepped out of the ancient cave
Seeing the monkey made her annoyed
Why have you come to my Mount Tiecha?
I'm protecting my master
on his journey to get the scriptures
Passing by the Flaming Mountains
I heard you forged a Plantain Fan
Which can extinguish
both fire and smoke
Lend the fan to me
So we can put out the fire
and cross the mountain
