Piggy vs Travelling to the West

Is it me or am I reading to much on this travel to west pigs?

“Is it me…?”
What did you mean exactly? If you want to be the Travelling to the West pig, why not a good thing it is? That pig almost became sausage during the journey, many many times. Haha
Why not consider an alternative career? Many minor guys could make a decent and comfortable living in heaven and they are considered to be “authentic”.

I will go touch the elephant and ask Piggy if he knows about the Sausage Box?
Once you open it you never know what kind of sausage you get...

All kinds of sausage, delicious...especially Jiangmen origin. haha

Later, the pig was admitted by Monk Tang to be a pupil. From then on, he changed his life.
There are many versions of the Travelling to the West, both in movies and TV series.
Piggy watched a Hong Kong version TV series of Travelling to the West a few years ago. It’s a bit more humor. Below is a section:
When the Pig God is already in the journey to the west, he still can’t forget that beautiful lady in his previous life and insisted that at that time he not yet heard clearly enough what that beautiful lady told him and wondered whether she told him “I love you” and resisted to go on to the west. One day he couldn’t hold anymore and asked for a leave and went back to moon. He asked that beautiful lady: “oh, sweet heart, what did you want to tell me 500 years ago?” the Goddess of Moon told him: “you are boring…”. The Pig God rolled back to the Earth any shout: “brothers, let’s go right now!”

八戒兄 de philosophy:
Where ever the pig God was in the journey, no matter what beautiful lady he encountered (all are transformed by monsters), he would contemplate: I should stay here…
