Wu Bai Nian Sang Tian Cang Hai(Five Hundred Years of Vicissitudes) is a classic interlude in the 1986 TV series Journey to the West . It was created based on the story of Sun Wukong being pressed under the Five Elements Mountain by the Tathagata Buddha for five hundred years after causing a great disturbance in Heaven, showing Sun Wukong's experiences and state of mind during this long period. At the beginning of the song, it gives people a feeling of depression, indignation and even despair, as if one can see the difficult situation of Sun Wukong who is pressed under the mountain. As the melody progresses, it gradually reveals an upward force and the spirit of not giving up, symbolizing Sun Wukong's tenacious will.
This song not only achieved great success at that time, but is still widely popular today. It has become a classic in the history of Chinese TV drama music, giving the audience a strong emotional resonance and inspiration. It has certain educational significance and enlightening value, reminding people to cherish what they have and maintain hope and pursuit for life in the face of difficulties.
