New Journeys to the West
St Paul's Convent School, Li, Charmaine - 12
O
nce upon a time, there was a monkey called Sun Wukong. He is the leader of all monkeys in
China. One day, he left and met three friends- Xuanzang (Buddhist monk), Zhu Bajie and Sha
Wujing.
They are going to the west to obtain the Buddhist sacred test.
After finishing their task, they all went back to their hometown. Sun Wukong as the leader of the
monkey, he went back to his friends and family. After a year of happy life, he is being caught. He then
travelled to a city he doesn't know.
He met Xuanzang in this strange city-Hong Kong. He finally found that he is being caught and
thought he probably had some mission to do to help the world. After greeting, he knew his job, to help
Xuanzang to find the best Buddhist in the world.
They first went to one of the Buddhist temple in Hong Kong, Ten Thousand Buddhist Temple.
They needed to take train and changed bus to there. With the help of technology and Hong Kongers, they
eventually went to this temple.
They went into the temple with greeting, but seemed all the monk were scared. They didn't think
that a monkey can walked by itself and one monk is near its side. When they heard they came from Song
dynasty, they were more frightened and one even faint on the ground.
Xuanzang and Sun Wukong were puzzled. After a while, the most powerful monk invited them to
go into his room. The monk told them about the history of the temple. However, they wanted to know
more about the date, they asked the monk about the time.
The monk told them as usual, 2017, 18 th October. Sun Wukong took away what the monk is
watching, and read along the paper. He screamed out with surprised, look like something unusual happened.
Xuanzang knew what he wanted to say already, and told him that they came to Hong Kong because of an
airplane that made them be into this new city.
The monk only told them, if they want to get back to Song dynasty, they must ride a car called
‘The Holy world’, or else they must found a girl monk in Asia. Before doing this, they needed a passport
and money.
With the help of the monk, they made a passport and ID card, so they can go onto the airplane.
Also, they found a 300 feet room in Sha Tin for them two live, they can work in any place now.
They found a job in an office in Central, that they needed to type some works for the boss in this
company. It seemed that it is only a dream, when they woke up, they will be back to their house and
become a normal people again.
The first day to go for work, they had been late, and made a lot of mistakes. They had so much
pressure and needed to walk all over the office for connecting colleague, sometimes they were from other
department. When the time is up, they still need to stay in the office to do more work.
After a month, they finally can get their award, money, for working in the office. They could buy
food and ready to went to India, to find the only girl monk in the world. Although their hearts were already
in India to find the monk, they didn't have enough money to go on a trip in this world.
One year than past, they knew more about the office and became the most hard-working
colleague. They can receive ten thousand dollars per person as their reward. They had already saved almost
seventy thousand dollars for going to India. But a bad new came into their ears, the girl monk had already
died, they need to wait next girl monk. This may take them more than fifty to one hundred year.
When they thought they could not go back to Song Dynasty, a happy news for them was told on
the television. One old car called ‘The Holy world’ will sold at one hundred million US dollars, and it will
only sell to people really need. Since this car had a private driver that could went through all the time, so
many historical archaeologist want to have this car.
