Not long ago, a series of new images for the major characters in the film Journey to the West(《西游记》) designed by Zhang Jizhong(张纪中)was made known to the public. According to Mr. Zhang, Sun Wukong (孙悟空) would appear in the form of a human being instead of a monkey; Tang Seng (唐僧) would look like a masculine man instead of a handsome young man; and Zhu Bajie(猪八戒)would be a wild boar (野猪) instead of a domestic pig. Such images, which are totally different from the traditional ones, have caused a great shock.
