In this episode, we delve into a fascinating scene from 'Journey to the West', uncovering the veil of wisdom and courage of Sun Wukong.  From mistakenly eating the precious ginseng fruit, to the tense confrontation with the Great Immortal Zhenyuan, and finally seeking help from Bodhisattva Guanyin, Wukong's adventure is filled with suspense and drama. This is not just a battle of wits and courage, but also a display of classical Eastern wisdom.  Sun Wukong, along with Bajie and Sha Monk, finds themselves in a predicament due to the accidental consumption of the ginseng fruit. The destruction of the fruit tree incites the anger of Great Immortal Zhenyuan, leading to a heart-stirring standoff. Wukong, with his wit and agility, outsmarts his adversary and ultimately resolves the crisis with the help of the Bodhisattva. The intervention of Buddhist teachings rejuvenates the withered, and the ginseng fruit becomes not only an immortal treasure but also a key to resolving misunderstandings. This story reveals an unknown side of Sun Wukong and explores the conflicts and reconciliations deep within human nature. Like Wukong's adventure, our lives inevitably encounter setbacks, but through wisdom and courage, solutions can always be found.
