Gao Village Arc - Featured Characters

Featured Characters

• Lady Gao

Lady Gao is the daughter of Square Gao, a man seen as the head of Gao Village. Lady Gao is the last woman who would have to suffer ill treatment by the sex crazed pig, Zhu Bajie - - a later disciple of Sanzang. At some point, Square Gao had insisted for his daughter to be rescued. After Pig is asleep and the lady is sitting inside their worn out barn-like area, Wukong retrieves Lady Gao. Through her appearance, this is what could be seen:

• Her cloudy hair was tangled and unkempt,

Her face was filthy and unwashed.

• Her orchid heart was as pure as ever,

But her beauty lay in ruins.

• There was no blood or life in her cherry lips,

And her limbs were crooked and bent.

• A sad frown on her forehead,

Her eyebrows pale;

• Weak and frightened,

Only daring to whisper.

Following this, Lady Gao reveals the truth about Pig - - he leaves during the night and appears at dawn in fear of her father exorcising him. Thus, the lady is retrieved to her father with relative ease. Sun Wukong himself would afterwards copy her appearance and play in her role while with Pig. After Sanzang, Pig, and Wukong all leave on their journey after a major event, Lady Gao truly gives her expression of thanks and is never shown again afterwards.

• Square Gao

Square Gao is the head of Gao Village, in which he is always complaining about his son-in-law. This son-in-law of his happens to be Zhu Bajie, a sex crazed pig. Zhu Bajie had forced Square Gao his son-in-law so that he could attain his daughter as his own wife. As later seen, Bajie eats up all the food that Square Gao has as his daughter's "husband". After Sanzang and Wukong arrive to this village, Square Gao immediately appears before them and pleads for a request to rescue his daughter. After Wukong is in the process of rescueing his daughter, Square Gao effectively calls out his daughter's name and she is effectively saved. After the whole issue is resolved, Square Gao awards Wukong and Sanzang greatly with a banquet and expresses his utmost thanks. After this arc, Square Gao is never shown again at any point.
