Why did Hiro, who was killed in The Journey to the West, pretend to be an impostor for eighteen years without being discovered?

The Journey to the West, as one of China's four classical novels, has far-reaching influence. Moreover, Journey to the West has also been made into many versions, including movies, TV dramas and animations. It is enough to show everyone's love for Journey to the West. And many plots in Journey to the West can always attract everyone's discussion. As for why Liu Hong, who killed Chen Guangrui in The Journey to the West, was an impostor for 18 years, it has not been discovered so far, and many people expressed their incomprehension. Why? Personally, I have the following views.

Human memory is very error-prone. Although we have our own memories of a person, it seems that this person is like this in memory, but memory is very easy to make mistakes and change. When a person appears in front of us in a way that is beyond our memory, we may be surprised at first, but then we gradually feel that people will always change. This person is different, probably because he has changed. It's hard to say whether this person is the one before.

Secondly, it's more because the characters inside don't know much about Chen Guangrui, so when a similar person takes his place, as long as there is no big mistake (it doesn't matter if there is one, as long as it can go back), nothing will happen.

Another very big reason is that we actually pay little attention to others. We tend to pay more attention to ourselves, so we behave differently to others. It's hard for us to see it unless someone brings it up. After all, we don't care much, so we don't care even if others change.

Based on the above points, it is understandable why Liu Hong, who killed Chen Guangrui, has been a liar for eighteen years.
