This video is seriously epic!

It brought back many fond childhood memories for Rachel and I and also tickled our funny bones. 《西游记》(Journey to the West) has been made into so many different screen versions through the years, but the 1986 China-made TV version still remains the best in my opinion:

The 孙悟空 (Sun Wu Kong) played by China actor, 六小龄童 (Liu Xiao Ling Tong) remains the most memorable and iconic 孙悟空 ever. All other versions are compared to him as a yardstick till this day:

六小龄童 (Liu Xiao Ling Tong), the undisputed best 孙悟空 (Sun Wu Kong) actor ever

  • That Youtube video is so hilarious! And yes, I also remember Liu Xiao Ling Tong as the best Sun Wu Kong evar!!!

  • I love your video. You have much better eyes than I do. I do find that the other versions beside the 1986 & 1999 version do not engage me. I can't suspend my disbelief when the monkey starts out with so much human qualities.

    I laughed so hard at the octopus. I am very glad that for the second season, the production kept the original ending song. I remember that I used to sing that all the time. Now that I've watched season 2, I hum it or sing it everywhere.
