Revealing the shocking truth about Hong Hai Nhi's age in Journey to the West, no one expected it

In "Journey to the West", Hong Hai Nhi is a character who only appears in one episode, but still leaves a deep impression on the audience. Although appearing in the form of a child, this character is not 8 or 9 years old as many viewers guess.

Journey to the West by Wu Cheng'en is a legendary novel in Chinese literary history and has had a strong cultural influence to this day, especially after the TV series version was broadcast and became the "childhood" of many generations of Asians.

We are all familiar with the character Hong Hai Nhi as a young boy. In the 1986 film "Journey to the West", the character Hong Hai Nhi made a strong impression by looking like an 8-9 year old child, but in reality, he was not.

Hong Hai Nhi is the son of Niu Ma Vuong and Ba La Sat (or Iron Fan Princess), has white skin and red lips, an arrogant personality and is Sun Wukong's rival. He has the ability to create Samadhi True Fire from the Alchemy Furnace of the Supreme Elder Lord, this fire cannot be extinguished by ordinary water.

In the work Journey to the West, Hong Hai Nhi is described as follows: "His face was painted white, his lips were painted pink, his hair was dyed indigo green, his eyebrows were curved like a bow."

Although he looks like a young boy, Hong Hai Nhi is actually 300 years old, having cultivated in the mountains for 300 years. The reason the "boy's" appearance has not changed is because Ba La Sat focused on cultivating the Celestial Qi Pill while pregnant with her son.

Not only is the real age of the character Hong Hai Nhi shocking. The main character of Journey to the West - Ton Ngo Khong also has an age that can surprise many people.

According to the original, Sun Wukong was a monkey born from a rock, who lived for 342 years before serving as the Horse Guard in Heaven, where he was in charge of taking care of horses. If we consider the time conversion, one day in Heaven is equivalent to one year in the human world, then Sun Wukong's half a month in Heaven is equivalent to 15 years on Earth. Next, taking on the role of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven for half a year is equivalent to 177 years in human time.

The 49 days of training in the furnace of the Supreme Elder Lord also transformed into 49 years added to Sun Wukong's lifespan. In addition, being sealed for 500 years under Mount Taihang and the 14 years of journey to obtain scriptures once again confirmed the "longevity" of this legendary character. In total, when these events ended, Sun Wukong's age was over 1,097 years.

40 years ago, Trieu Han Boi played the role of Hong Hai Nhi when he was 8 years old. The actor was loved by the audience for his cleverness and intelligence. The boy also had a chubby and adorable appearance, just like what was described about Hong Hai Nhi. Therefore, when he first met Trieu Han Boi, director Duong Khiet was overjoyed. She knew for sure that this was the Hong Hai Nhi she was looking for.

However, when deciding to cast Zhao Xin Pei in the role, the director made a deal with the boy's parents that he would not be allowed to accompany the crew during the filming, because she thought that if his parents were present, Xin Pei would not be able to act naturally. In the end, secretary Yu Hong stood up to assure Zhao Xin Pei's parents that he would take good care of him. Thus, Xin Pei became the only child star of "Journey to the West".

During the filming, although the whole crew pampered him, he still had to endure a lot of hardship. However, Trieu Han Boi was very obedient and understanding.

After the success of "Journey to the West", Trieu Han Boi became a beloved child star. However, Hong Hai Nhi was also Trieu Han Boi's first and only role. After "Journey to the West 1986", the child star stopped working in the arts and focused on studying culture, refusing all invitations to act in movies and commercials because she found a strong passion for computers.

Many years have passed, and Hong Hai Nhi has become an excellent student in the computer science department of Peking University. Thanks to his impressive academic achievements, Trieu Han Boi continued to win scholarships and pursue his master's and doctorate degrees.

After graduating, the "Journey to the West" star went to work at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. However, in 2014, Trieu Han Boi made a bold decision when he and his close friend founded an agricultural engineering company and took on the position of technology director.

When he first started his business, Han Boi encountered many difficulties. Because of the small investment capital, his company's development plan was stagnant for a long time. However, he did not give up, but persevered to solve each step.

Thanks to that, Trieu Han Boi's company overcame the stormy period and grew stronger and stronger. Up to now, he has become a tycoon with assets worth hundreds of billions of dong.

In an interview, when a reporter met Trieu Han Boi and asked about his decision to reject showbiz in the past, he shared: "The entertainment world is not suitable for me. When I was young, acting in movies was fun, but at that time, to me it was just like a walk. I belong to computers and technology."

Now, in middle age, he has gained weight and his appearance has changed a lot. If we don't recall his old role, no one would recognize Han Boi as the famous Hong Hai Nhi. However, every time he smiles, the audience can still see a glimpse of the adorable boy in "Journey to the West".

Regarding his personal life, Trieu Han Boi has a very private life. People only know that he is a wealthy director, but the marital status of the "Journey to the West" star is still a question mark for fans. There is information that Trieu Han Boi has secretly married a beautiful woman, but others reveal that he is still single.
