Journey to the South

The most typical example is: in "Journey to the West," when Sun Wukong kills a demon, a deity descends from heaven, spins a tale, and spares the demon. This is what people often say: demons with connections are saved. But "Journey to the South" is different. For instance, the Golden Rooster Emperor's backer is the Queen Mother of the West, the Ghost Yu's backer is the Plague God Zhong Shigui, the White-faced Ghost's backer is King Yama, and even the Sea Turtle King's backer is the Sunlight Bodhisattva. These demons with backers are all wicked, but what happens? They are all killed by Yuan Konghuan right in front of their backers. Some say I wrote it this way deliberately to attract readers, and that reality cannot be like this. I don't deny it, but we people, in fighting corruption, corrupt officials, and evil forces, aren't we just swatting flies and tigers together? "Journey to the West" is a microcosm of the Ming Dynasty, which was dark. "Journey to the South" is modern, bright, and just. But: although the sun is bright, it also sets. Even under the lamp there is darkness, and in a prosperous age there are unfair, unjust, and dark things. I believe no one opposes this, right? I am a person at the bottom of society. I have seen many ugly phenomena in society, including being bullied and defrauded myself. The news and newspapers are full of such examples, but I still believe there are more good people than bad ones. — Description from novelcodex.org
