Pig Eight is talented, once commanding 800,000 water soldiers and, by today's standards, at least a Vice Admiral.
Pig Eight has a harmonious relationship with his superiors, closely united around the leadership, fulfilling his duties diligently and being a favorite in the eyes of his superiors.
The story goes that in the past, Pig Eight married Cui Lan at Gao's Village and left for the West without consummating the marriage to join Tang Monk. But that Cui Lan never married anyone else, waiting until Pig Eight returned from fetching the scriptures, having achieved fame and success, before they were formally reunited. While The Journey to the West does not mention this part of Pig Eight and Cui Lan's happy life, this anecdote is a true story, just as memorable as the tragic love story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. This is the story of how Pig Eight is a good husband!
