The Szema family murdered the Tong family in order to monopolize the weapons industry. Twenty years later, the chief of Brocade Guards, YUEMAN FUNG (CHENG SIU CHOW, ADAM), fights against MRS. WONG (WANG MING CHUN, LIZA) of the biggest escort carrier in town. During the fight, they realize they might know each other… FUNG has changed his name, put on an eye patch and become a Brocade Guard. His wife, TONG PIK, has married WONG. They live with humiliation while they wait for the day of revenge. However, they both are in situations where they can’t reveal their identities. PIK hires MANG LUI (LAM RAYMOND) as a fighter. He falls in love with PIK’s daughter YEE (YEUNG SZE KI, SHIRLEY). Ironically, LUI is PIK’s son, whom she lost many years ago, and so love between the two is impossible. How can love and hatred end between two generations?
Journey to the West is a Hong Kong television series adapted from the classical novel of the same title. Starring Dicky Cheung, Kwong Wah, Wayne Lai and Evergreen Mak, the series was produced by TVB and was first broadcast on TVB Jade in Hong Kong in November 1996. A sequel, Journey to the West II, was broadcast in 1998, but the role of the Monkey King was played by Benny Chan instead, due to contract problems between Dicky Cheung and TVB. Cheung later reprised the role in another television series The Monkey King: Quest for the Sutra, which was broadcast on TVB but not produced by the station.
