What I Thought after Reading "Journey to the West"
Regents Primary School of Shenzhen, Xiong, Tianrui - 7
“J
ourney to the West” is an exciting story and I really like it. What if the four characters were
born in modern times. What would happen to them? Let me tell you: they were in the same
school.
In the teachers’ eyes, Tang Seng was a good student, who always finished his homework on time and
carefully. Wukong was a very naughty boy, who always made his teachers angry, Bajie was known as a
gourmet, his mouth was always stuffed with snacks no matter where he went. Shaseng was more normal
than the others.Ten years on, TangSeng became a scholar who specialized in astronomy and geography. He
was also a lawyer. He was in good business every day. His company was always crowded with people.
Sunwukong had nothing to do all day, and the monkeys were worried about him. One day Tangseng sent a
message, “I heard that modern people love travelling. We can make Huaguo Mountain a tourist attraction
to make money! “ Suddenly he realised it would be good business.
Sunwukong was very happy and he immediately called up all the monkeys “Our Huaguo Mountain
and Shuilian Cave are so beautiful. I want to make them popular scenic spots.” Then, he flew to the TV
station, he requested the director to broadcast his commercial. The director did not agree. Sunwukong was
so angry and he took out the Jingubang. The director felt threatened so he followed Sunwukong’s request.
In less than two days, the Huaguo Mountain and Shuilian Cave were crowded with people. Sunwukong
was surprised and he made a lot of money.
Bajie loved eating, so he made an advertisement for a food company and became famous overnight.
Therefore, many other food companies came calling Sunwukong for advertising.
Finally, Shaseng went back to his hometown Liushahe to run an ink business, with his hard work, his
business was booming. He slowly became the president of a national ink company , and his business was
getting better and better.What a surprise! If they do exist, will things be the same as I have envisaged？
