Journey to the West
Diocesan Preparatory School, Chiu, Man Yuet – 10
Thousands of years ago, a courageous monk
made a multi-year journey
Accompanied by a group of creatures
To begin a journey of adventure.
Monkey king was magical but arrogant.
Pigsy was loyal but greedy.
Friar was honest but timid.
Their adventure was exciting but dangerous.
They faced much hardship and difficulties
Battled strange and evil monsters.
They trusted each other with loyalty
During the hostile and riskful journey.
They found a community of learning.
In Nalanda of India,
They succeeded to attain
Their true spiritual fulfilment
