Surprisingly, although all the people involved knew for sure that there was a fake Wukong, they could not distinguish and determine exactly which was real and which was fake. Even the names made the audience feel “confused”: Sun Wukong, Jia Wukong, Wukong, not to mention many people even came up with the name Sun Wukong to… complete the arrangement.
The tense, seemingly endless story was only resolved by Buddha Tathagata and the imposter was identified as Luc Nhi My Hau - another stone monkey with 6 ears, able to know everything in the world, practicing 72 magical powers no different from Ngo Khong, even better.
In Vietnam, there is also the story "Truong Ba's Soul, Butcher's Skin" related to the confusing distinction between real and fake, with the play by Luu Quang Vu being added with a tragic ending to send a message "Everything should follow the laws of nature, any resistance to the laws becomes ridiculous".
Vietnamese football is having a surprising swap of sorts. Accordingly, Ho Chi Minh City Youth Club, after investing heavily, buying a series of national and former national players as well as the national U23 team, has transferred the entire coaching staff and many players to Phu Dong Ninh Binh Club. In contrast, the entire coaching staff and players of the ancient capital team have transferred to Ho Chi Minh City Youth Club - the team may change its name in the near future.
The two teams will compete in the First Division in the 2024-2025 season. In theory, there is nothing wrong with that transfer, it is just “not allowed when transferring the business that owns the team” - according to the representative of VFF. And people remember that the two clubs have the same sponsor. Not only that, this sponsor also sponsors the top football league in Vietnam, the Ninh Binh volleyball team.
It could be a decision to focus on Ninh Binh sports, restoring the football team's position in the highest national playground. Hopefully it is real and done for a long-term goal, not a "real - fake" story of the many magical transformations of Sun Wukong.
