Journey West: Mount Fiery brings to life the beloved Chinese classic novel that illustrates core Chinese cultural values such as filial piety, perseverance and righteousness through the story of familiar characters Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, Tang San Zang and others, as they strive to extinguish the flames of Mount Fiery and continue with their journey to the West.
In order to extinguish the flames and allow Tang San Zang, the White Dragon Horse, Sha Wujing, and Zhu Bajie to cross the mountain smoothly, Sun Wukong borrowed the Banana Leaf Fan from Iron Fan Princess, the mother of the Crimson Boy. However, due to her resentment over the incident with her son, Iron Fan Princess created numerous obstacles and even expelled Sun Wukong tens of thousands of miles away using her Banana Leaf Fan. Sun Wukong then transformed into a fly and accidentally entered Iron Fan Princess’ belly to retrieve the fan. After a battle of wits, Iron Fan Princess was finally defeated and turned to her husband, the Bull Demon King, for help.
Upon learning that his beloved wife had been mistreated by his sworn brother, the Bull Demon King confronted Sun Wukong, leading to a fierce confrontation between the two. In the end, Crimson Boy, son of Iron Fan Princess and Bull Demon King, came home and stopped the fight. Sun Wukong successfully obtained the Banana Leaf Fan and extinguished the flames of the Mount Fiery. With this obstacle overcome, Tang San Zang and his disciples continued with their journey to the West.
