Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice
Summary: Antonio, a wealthy merchant in Venice, borrowed money from Shylock, a Jewish usurer, for the marriage of his friend Bassanio, but Shylock didn't want interest, but only cut off a pound of meat from Antonio. Bassanio won back the beauty (Portia) after choosing the "gold, silver and copper box". However, due to the shipwreck of Antonio's merchant ship, the capital turnover was ineffective and the loan could not be repaid. Shylock asked Antonio to keep his promise according to the law.

Shylock lost the case because of unenforceability, and the property belongs to his dead daughter.
Wu Cheng'en should be familiar with Journey to the West.
It mainly describes the story of Tang Priest, the Monkey King, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing who went to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures and went through eighty-one difficulties. It is a true story in history that Tang Priest learned the scriptures. About 1300 years ago, in the first year of Zhenguan of Emperor Taizong (627), Xuanzang, a 25-year-old young monk, left the capital Chang 'an and went to Tianzhu (India) to study alone. After starting from Chang 'an, he passed through Central Asia, Afghanistan, Pakistan and finally arrived in India. He studied there for more than two years and gave a speech at a large-scale debate on Buddhist classics, which was well received. In the 19th year of Zhenguan (645), Xuanzang returned to Chang 'an and brought back 657 Buddhist scriptures. He traveled to Wan Li 19 years before and after his voyage to the West, which was a legendary Long March and made a sensation. Later, Xuanzang dictated his The Journey to the West, which was compiled by his disciples into a 12-volume Record of the Western Regions of Datang. But this book is mainly about the history, geography and transportation of countries seen on the road, and there is no story. When it comes to "Datang The biography of Master Sanzang" written by his disciples Huili and Yan Cong, it adds a lot of myth to Xuanzang's experience. Since then, the story of Tang Priest's Buddhist scriptures has been widely circulated among the people.
