In the 86th edition of Journey to the West, the actress who played the role of Bai Jing was Yang Chunxia, and the actress who played the role of Bai Jing as an old lady was Liu Huiming. Originally, Hu Zehong was supposed to play the role of the village girl, but because she was selected by the crew of "Dream of the Red Chamber" as a candidate for Lin Daiyu, and the director of "Journey to the West", Yang Jie, did not like to use actors who acted across the crew (worried about the shooting time conflict), she was eventually abandoned. The role of the village girl was not played by her. In addition, Teacher Shen Huifang was actually arranged to play the role of White Bone Demon. Two versions of White Bone Demon were prepared, but in the end, only the version played by Yang Chunxia was used.
