The physically disabled and the mentally strong Paul sings the song of life, the second half of the couplet combined with the Journey to the WestSecond verse: Xuanzang went to the West to get the true scriptures
The song of life sung by the physically disabled but strong-willed Paul is a famous plot in "Paul Kochagin". It shows the spirit of the protagonist, Kochagin, who persisted in fighting and struggling even though he was seriously injured. Xuanzang's Pilgrimage was one of the famous Pilgrimage stories in ancient China. It told the story of Xuanzang, a monk of the Tang Dynasty, who took three disciples to India to obtain the true scriptures after going through 81 difficulties. Combining these two plots can express the theme of "no matter where you are, as long as you have a firm belief and an indomitable spirit, you can overcome difficulties and achieve your goals".
After reading " How Steel Was Tempered," someone came up with a couplet. The first verse is "physically disabled but with strong will, Paul sings the song of life". Please combine it with "Journey to the West".The first verse,"The physically disabled and strong-willed Paul sang the song of life", came from "How Steel was Tempered", which described the story of the protagonist, Paul Kochagin, who was not afraid of difficulties and obstacles, firmly believed in the revolution, and finally became a revolutionary leader.
In Journey to the West, there was a similar character, Sun Wukong, who was a monkey with extremely high intelligence. He was fearless and brave, and he also had a firm belief in revolution. In order to save the people, Sun Wukong constantly overcame difficulties and fought against demons while protecting Tang Sanzang, who eventually became an important figure in the Buddhist world.
Therefore, it was possible to combine the two elements of " physically disabled and strong-willed Paul singing the song of life " and " Sun Wukong is fearless and brave, but also has a firm belief in revolution " to form a new couplet:
Zhijian is crippled, Sun Wukong is singing the song of learning scriptures
