Summary:

The monk Tang Sanzang finds himself as a giant in a city in India. His master congratulates him on reaching India and retrieving the Sutras, and gives him a halo as a reward. The halo, however, malfunctions and Tang awakes from his dream to find himself in an alley in a village of circus performers with his three disciples: Sun Wukong; Zhu Bajie; and Sha Wujing. Tang encourages Sun Wukong to perform for the villagers, but the disciple refuses. Angered by this stubbornness, Tang provokes Sun Wukong by calling him a "bad monkey", which causes Sun Wukong to smash the village and damage the villagers' homes in his temper. The terrified villagers present the group with money and food for their travels, but Sun Wukong continues wreaking havoc, sending Zhu Bajie and Tang flying through the air. That night, Tang whips Sun Wukong for his disobedience.

The next morning, Tang goes to find water for their breakfast congee and comes across a house. Its host, a beautiful woman in a splendid outfit, welcomes them all in for breakfast with her companions. Sun Wukong, however, sees through their disguises as spider demons; he purposely provokes them until she and the others show their true form. During the subsequent battle, the demons come together to form one huge spider. After being poisoned by the spider, Sha Wujing falls ill and slowly bloats into a fish-like creature. Sun Wukong defeats the spider and Tang attempts to exorcise her, but Sun Wukong smashes in the demon's head with one blow. Once more, Tang is annoyed at Sun Wukong's disobedience and whips him again that evening. Later that night, the enraged Sun Wukong discusses with the other disciples his plans to kill Tang, but the others fear Tang's mighty Buddha Palm powers. Tang overhears this conversation and prays to Buddha to help him and also confesses that he actually does not know, or have, Buddha Palm powers. Zhu Bajie overhears this admission and tells Sun Wukong, who challenges Tang to a fight. Just as Sun Wukong is about to strike, a blinding ray of light shines from the heavens and he retreats.

The next day, the group pass into the capital city of the Biqiu Kingdom and a minister comes out to greet them and bring them to see the king: an immature and childlike man who likes to play games. The king orders Tang to perform for him but the monk does not have anything to showcase. Sun Wukong therefore pastes an "obedience sticker" on Tang allowing Tang to copy his actions and perform stunts for the king. Sun Wukong, however, goes too far and makes Tang slap the king continuously, who throws them all out. Tang orders Sun Wukong to return and apologize, but it is revealed that Sun Wukong purposely provoked the king to make him reveal his form as the demon Red Boy. They fight and Sun Wukong defeats Red Boy, also freeing the true king of Biqiu from his cage under the throne. As a reward for helping him, the king presents them with a beautiful girl, Felicity, to accompany them on their travels. As Felicity dances for them, Tang is reminded of his deceased lover, Duan.

The group set off and on the way, Sun Wukong realizes that Felicity is actually a demon. In the meantime, Felicity takes out the nose plugs on Sha Wujing, allowing him to sneeze out the poison and turn him back into his human form. Tang, however, does not believe him, so they set off to visit Felicity's home village. Sun Wukong becomes enraged with Tang's lack of trust in him and that night he destroys the whole village, killing everyone. Tang stops him from killing Felicity, further angering Sun Wukong, who attacks Tang, but Felicity finally confesses that she is actually the demon White Bone Spirit and that the whole village was an illusion conjured by her. Sun Wukong flares up and turns into a giant Monkey King demon and swallows Tang. At that moment, the minister and Red Boy arrive and see Sun Wukong has fallen for their trick.

They had deliberately sent Felicity with the group to cause strife between Tang and Sun Wukong, so Sun Wukong would kill his master. Sun Wukong spits Tang out, however, as they had known this all the while; they only played along so that the minister would reveal her true form. They battle and the minister creates an illusion of Buddhas surrounding Sun Wukong, using them to fight him. The real Buddha, however, uses his giant palm to destroy the false Buddhas and reveals the minister's real identity as the Immortal Golden Vulture.

After the battle, Tang heads back to find a dying Felicity. He has no choice but to free her soul as there is too much demon in her. Before she dies, Felicity asks Tang if he loves her. Tang replies that he has only one person in his heart. The animosity between Tang and Sun Wukong has finally dissolved; together with Sha Wujing and Zhu Bajie, they continue their journey to the West through a desert.

In a post-credits scene, breaking of the fourth wall is invoked with the appearance of a modern movie theater, where theater employees tell both the viewer and the in-story audience that it’s time to leave and there is no post-credits scene

Completed 'Surname' Polls

This is where I take several characters from different Chinese media (mostly cnovels and cdrama) and run a poll on which one is the 'best'. What does best mean? It's up to you! Whether you love them, are intrigued by their characters, love to hate them, or they're your '2 second blorbos whose personality you made up wholesale', these are all reasons for you to vote for your favs!

NB: the surnames are not exactly the same in all the cases, as often they will be a different character. I am, however, grouping them all together otherwise things got more complicated.

This post is for the polls which have finished running and can no longer be voted in (since I have realised that I'm quickly approaching the limit for hyperlinks in the original masterlist).

What is there to know about the Shu vassal; Hu Ji? Zhuge Liang seems to held him in high regard, he did hold some stations, and even welding imperial authority.

References to him are pretty scattered. I put basically all I could find about him into my article on Jiang Wei's second series of campaigns (The Longshan Campaigns). I've copied the relevant excerpt below.

The main thing I think people should take away is that while Hu Ji is best known for failing to assist Jiang Wei at Shanggui in 256, the fact that Hu Ji was later entrusted with significant responsibilities and does not appear to have been demoted suggests that this was not his fault.

Jiang Wei garrisoned Zhongti 钟题, a border city from which he could easily advance again.[52] Because of Zhang Yi’s objections before and during the campaign, Jiang Wei now harbored a grudge against him. After this, Jiang Wei forced Zhang Yi to accompany him on every expedition.[53] Chen Tai was soon recalled to the central court,[54] with Deng Ai effectively replacing him in the west. Most of Deng Ai’s officers thought that after the defeat at Didao, Jiang Wei would be docile for a time. Deng Ai disagreed, since Shu did not lose many soldiers in the failed siege, and prepared for Jiang Wei’s return.[55]

In spring of 256, Jiang Wei was granted the title of Grand General, with authority over all military affairs. He then prepared to attack Shanggui along with another leading general, Hu Ji 胡济.[56] One of Liu Bei’s many followers from Jing province, Hu Ji served as an officer on the staff of the late chancellor Zhuge Liang 诸葛亮 and was lauded for his character.[57] Zhuge Liang always praised him highly, particularly for his willingness to argue openly when the two disagreed.[58] His name appears in a missive from 231 accusing the general Li Ping 李平 (formerly Li Yan 李严) of misconduct during the campaign that year.[59] Following Zhuge Liang’s death he held an administrative position of some importance within the military,[60] during which time he was associated with Fei Yi and his friend Dong Yun 董允.[61] He was later put in command over Hanzhong 汉中,[62] most likely in 248.[63] By 256 he held the title General Who Guards the West 镇西将军.[64]

Jiang Wei drew near Shanggui in autumn of the year, but Hu Ji never arrived.[65] On top of that, when Jiang Wei came close to his target he heard that Deng Ai had already prepared defenses against him. Jiang Wei then fell back to nearby Dongting 董亭 and shifted his target to Nan’an. Deng Ai occupied Mount Wucheng 武城, where he intercepted Jiang Wei. The two fought for control of the rugged terrain but Deng Ai maintained the upper hand. In the night, JiangWei tried to slip away and follow the mountains east to Shanggui, but Deng Ai intercepted him again in Duan Valley 段谷. There, he inflicted a great defeat on the Shu army, forcing Jiang Wei’s retreat. Cao Mao praised Deng Ai highly for this campaign,[66] and his contemporary Wang Ji 王基 later cited it in tactical advice given to the regent-usurper Sima Zhao 司马昭.[67]

Jiang Wei’s losses were heavy, and when he returned to Shu he came under harsh criticism even from the civilian population of the state. At his own request, Jiang Wei was demoted to a lesser title, though he still held command over the military.[68] No reason is given regarding Hu Ji’s failure to appear at Shanggui but it may have been due to circumstances beyond his control. He was later promoted to Right General of the Agile Cavalry, an exceptionally prestigious position.[69] And some time after the defeat at Duan Valley, Jiang Wei proposed a reorganizing of Shu’s defenses. Hu Ji played a key role in the new formation, indicating that Jiang Wei was still confident in his abilities.[70] This treatment demonstrates that Hu Ji was not significantly censured for his inaction during the 256 campaign, suggesting that his inability to join with Jiang Wei was due to unforeseen circumstances rather than negligence or cowardice on his part.

Press release from Duan Qirui

The press release by Fu Liang Zuo accusing me of cooperating with Japan is fake news! As the Chairman of the Anhui Clique, I was merely being responsible and monitoring the negotiations between the Japanese Diplomat and two Anhui Clique members, Jin Yun Peng and Zhang Zong Xiang! You can confirm with Xu Shu Zheng! Xu was there to help take notes as I was listening intently! Fu Liang Zuo, that is total irresponsibility!

Regardless, now is the time to unite and strengthen th Armed Forces. I will be starting a new initiative to form troops under the command of my deputy, Xu Shu Zheng. More details will be revealed in short time. Remember: time is of the essence. We need to act quickly soon, or all opportunities will be lost.

Joy of Life 2 | The dynamics between princes.

[smylealong]

I spotted a picture of Zhang Zhehan from Word of Honor sporting a side-flip. That made me think of some of the cutest/hottest/coolest/epicest (that's a word now) side flips.

The pic that started it all. Zhang Zhehan. I find it the cutest.

I particularly like Wang Yibo's sideflip from Legend of Fei. He carries it of quite well and I think it is the coolest.

Quite possibly the prettiest of the lot. But then, when it comes to Xiao Zhan, I am biased. He's gorgeous.

Speaking of gorgeous, how can I not mention Hu Ge. If that man touches water, it evaporates. He's that hot. So yeah, his side-flip is the hottest.

Cannot ignore Zhang Ruo Yun's stylish flip from Joy of Life. He rocks this hairstyle. I like him better with his hair open.

Most adorable side flip goes to Song Jiyang. Surprising, because usually the adjectives I attribute to this man are ethereal, or elegant, or otherworldly. Didn't think adorable would be the one I'd go with for him.

What adjective can I give the drama-queen that is Jiang Cheng? Wang Zhuocheng himself is adorable, but that's not a word I can use to describe the character. So I guess I will call his side flip the angriest? LOL.

And then there's the Diva. The side-flip to end all sideflips. Liu Duan Duan's Li Chengze wins the most dramatic side-flip of all.

While the award for the sexiest one goes to Wallace Huo. (Still recovering from this one)

[dangermousie]

This is clearly gearing for premiere and that cast is INSANE!

Zhou Yi Wei! Zhang Ruo Yun! Wang Likun! Li Chen! Liu Duan Duan!

It’s so many of my faves in one drama!!
