The wind kept its promise

The moon shines far away

My love for love itself is such

That the days pass like years

For I am Lianxian of the House of Miao

Who pines for the chanteuse, Miss Mai Qiujuan

CHAN RESIDENCE

In 1919, there stood a grand, old mansion

at Number 13, Chonggui New Street, Xiguan, Guangzhou.

There is a strange and mysterious legend about this mansion.

The Chan family's ancestral home was in Fujian, Xiamen.

Later on, to run a salt business, they moved to Xiguan, Guangzhou.

The Chan family served as imperial court officials

and merchants for generations,

and thus accumulated boundless wealth.

Unfortunately for the family, very few children were born

in Chan Sau Ying's generation.

She was the only child left.

To continue the family line, her parents decided

to find a man to marry into their family,

and so Yeung Chun Yu became one of the clan.

Later on, Chan Sau Ying's parents failed in business

and fell sick from overwork before passing away one after the other.

The family thenceforth went into decline.

Marriages were still influenced by feudal thought in these days.

Once entered, a marriage could never be left, however bad it was.

Yeung Chun Yu was very unhappy because of this.

Unable to succeed in life, he could only drink to drown his sorrows.

Later on, he got involved in all kinds of vices.

Madam Chan, you have an illness called pulmonary heart disease.

You must rest more and not tire yourself out.

Try to let things go more.

Follow my prescription for three to four days, and you'll be fine.

Boil down two bowls of water with this into four fifths of a bowl.

Then boil one bowl of water with the dregs into four fifths of a bowl.

Drink half in the morning first.

Drink the other half at lunchtime.

Then boil it at night and drink half of it in two goes.

After doing so, repeat the process one to two days later.

If you're still coughing so badly, I have two pills here.

Take one with warm water and you'll feel much better.

Rest more.

Thank you, Doctor.

I'll tell Sim to give you your payment later.

No rush.

Chun Yu, see the doctor out for me.

There's no need.

I insist.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chan.

My name isn't Chan. It's Yeung. Yeung!

I'm sorry if I offended you.

Ridiculous!

I'm sorry, Master.

Do you have a death wish? You spilled that bean paste on purpose.

You're obedient to Madam, but so reluctant to do anything for me.

You're asking for it!

- No! - I'll kill you!

- That hurts! |won't do it again. Stop! - You lousy maid!

Get back here!

You're making a fool of me!

Sim! Where are you going?

- Sim! - Chun Yu, please.

- Stop hitting Sim. - Sim!

Do you want to kill her?

Sim!

Hey, where are you hiding? Sim!

Sim...

Sim...

Give me my medicine.

What are you doing?

Chun Yu...

Chun Yu, give me my medicine.

Are you pretending again?

Help me up.

- You're not an invalid. - Chun Yu.

-Chun Yu! - Stand up yourself!

Chun Yu!

Madam, are you alright?

|'|| help you UP-

I'm sorry, Madam.

I can't serve you anymore.

Why not? Are you leaving?

Master hits me for no reason. I can't take it anymore.

Sim, he has a bad temper.

I Will talk to him.

Now give me some water to take the medicine with.

Don't leave me.

No, Madam.

It's not that I want to leave.

But Master takes his anger out on me for no reason.

How can I endure it?

Should I let him kill me?

I'm sorry, but I have to leave.

What?

Speaking ill of me again?

You're still here, you lousy maid? I'll break your legs!

- Get out! - Sim! Sim!

Chun Yu, don't act this way.

You've kicked out all the maids.

Who will serve you?

Who will serve me?

You! You will serve me.

When I married into your family, ten maids met my every need.

Now there is only one left, and she even dares to talk back!

Chun Yu, our family treated you well.

But things are different now.

This is the time to endure our woes together.

Make do with what we have.

Make do?

What did I want you for?

I married into your family so I could enjoy myself.

Now that your family has declined, that's your problem, not mine!

Let me tell you.

If I wasn't afraid of gossip, I'd have long left a sickly girl like you.

Needles and threads for sale!

Face cream!

Florida Water!

Miss Sim, is Madam around?

I'll go in and find her.

Madam!

Madam!

It's Choi!

I brought tobacco!

Madam! Madam!

Master, where's Madam?

I brought tobacco. Where is she?

You're here again?

She's not feeling well. She's through there.

Go inside yourself.

Oops. My dentures fell out.

Madam, these Fujian silks are so popular.

I brought ten pounds over this time, and they've all sold out!

When are you planning to go back to Xiamen?

These goods sell very quickly.

I'm planning to go back tonight.

You don't want these, Madam?

Alright, I have a new recommendation.

This is a compact powder. It's best for the face.

Old women look ten years younger after using it.

Madam, this powder is top quality.

The Third Madam from next door says it's good too.

Choi, please take this letter to Xiamen for me as well.

Sure.

How much does all this come to?

Ten dollars and 50 cents.

But I'll give you a discount, ten dollars.

Madam, this jade bangle is very nice.

My mother left it to me.

Here's ten dollars.

- And this is a tip for you. - Thank you, thank you.

That jade bangle must cost over 1 00 dollars!

Be careful.

I... I'll get going-

Why can't I catch any fish, Grandpa?

How can you expect to catch fish without any patience?

Sir, may I ask where Number 13, Chonggui New Street is?

Just walk to that alley ahead and turn right.

Why are you looking for Madam Chan?

Very few people visit her. Where are you from?

- I'm from Foshan. Thank you. - Alright. No problem.

What are you doing?

- I'm going in to see if there's any fish. - No! Don't assume the water's shallow.

When Kau fell in before, he almost drowned.

- Really? - Just focus on fishing.

Coming.

Who are you looking for?

I'm Leung Kei Wah, the daughter of Miss Fuk,

who once served Grandma.

Miss Fuk?

- I remember now. Please come in. - Thank you.

Have a seat inside.

Come in.

- Sit wherever you like. - Thank you, Madam.

How is Miss Fuk's health lately?

My mother passed away a long time ago.

Miss Fuk worked here for a very long time.

I was still very young when she left,

but I remember how kind she was.

Madam.

Before my mother died,

she told me to come and thank you if I passed by Xiguan.

She received much kindness from the Chan family.

She couldn't ever repay you.

Please don't say that.

Do you feel unwell, Madam?

It's fine. I'm always like this.

The doctor said it's pulmonary heart disease.

Sit down.

I have an idea, Madam.

I haven't found a job anyway.

Why don't I stay and serve you here?

That's alright.

Things here aren't what they were.

We can't afford to hire anyone.

Don't worry about that.

Think of it as repaying your kindness to my mother.

I'll serve you until you've recovered.

- How can I let you do that? - It's alright.

You were so kind to my mother. It's what I should do.

Alright, then. Stay here for now.

Let me be clear, though.

My husband has a bad temper. He's very hard to get along with.

That's fine. Don't worry.

I know how to serve him well.

The cold breeze

Goes

Grandpa, Grandpa! Someone fell into the pond.

- Where? - Over there.

Right. Help him out, quickly.

Come on. Oh dear.

Don't drink so much, Master. You could drown here.

Madam! Madam! Come quick!

Madam, tell him not to drink so much. He could drown.

My goodness.

Thank you very much.

- I'll help you get him inside. - It's alright. I can manage.

- Madam. - Thank you.

Give him some tea to sober him up. We'll be going now!

I don't need help.

I don't need help.

- Look how drunk you are. - Who says I'm drunk?

I want to drink more.

- I want to drink more! Wine! - Chun Yu.

- Give me wine! I want to drink! - Chun Yu, stop drinking.

- I'll give you some tea to sober you up. - I'll get it, Madam.

- It's just over there. - Wine!

- Wine! Give me wine! - Chun Yu, don't act this way.

- Give me wine! - Chun Yu, stop drinking.

- Listen to me, Chun Yu. - I want to drink.

Stop drinking. Don't act this way!

- Master, have some tea. - No!

Chun Yu!

- Who are you? - I...

She's the daughter of our former maid, Miss Fuk.

- Get him another cup of tea. - Yes.

Chun Yu, she's here to serve you.

Get lost, you TB-ridden bitch!

Chun Yu, why do you call me that?

- Madam. - Thank you.

Here, Chun Yu. Have some tea.

Are you trying to burn me?

TB bitch! You want to burn me to death and remarry?

You think I'm a burden?

Oh...

Why did I marry into the Chan family?

You're unlucky in life!

You brought this upon yourself.

Madam. So Master married into the Chan family?

Yes.

Even so, he shouldn't treat you this way.

PAST PROSPERITY IS GONE.

EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT, BUT THE SCENERY REMAINS.

Sau Ying!

Come here and prepare my cigarette.

My husband wants me to serve him.

Let's do this later.

Madam.

You must rest more.

Don't tire yourself out.

- I'll serve him. - Alright.

Thank you.

Master.

Why are you here? I didn't call you.

I called the TB bitch! Get lost.

Master, Madam isn't feeling well. She needs more rest.

What? She's unwell again?

She's just pretending.

Alright, prepare the cigarette.

- I don't know how to do it. - You can't even do that?

How will you serve me?

- I've never done it before, Master. - Then why are you here?

Tell Madam to serve me.

Master, I told you. Madam isn't feeling well.

She needs more rest.

- You should care about her more. - Why doesn't she care about me?

- Master! Madam is really unwell. - Get lost!

I'll ask her why she doesn't want to serve me.

You just get more ridiculous!

I tell you to come, and you send her! What do you want?

Chun Yu, don't be like this. I'm really unwell.

Don't embarrass me in front of Yee Wah.

Embarrass you? What about me?

I'll give you embarrassing!

No!Donfl

Master! Master, don't!

Get lost!

- Come here! - Master, Madam is sick.

- Get lost! - Don't do this!

Master, don't be this way. Please don't misunderstand.

I wanted to serve you. It has nothing to do with Madam.

Please forgive me for not being clear.

You'll see what happens if you do this again.

How cruel of him to beat you like that.

You're much too nice, Madam. How can you let him hit you like that?

I really feel bad for you.

What can I do?

It's just my luck. I'm sickly, too.

I can only hope that Chun Yu will change.

I don't believe he will.

With that temper of his, Master won't ever change.

Madam. Are you alright?

Don't cry, Madam.

Crying like this is bad for your health.

Listen to me, Madam. Stop crying.

I'll help you to your bed so you can rest. Come on.

BUT THE SCENERY REMAINS.

Good morning, Master.

Where's the paper I was writing on?

I threw it away, Master.

You threw it away?

Who told you to do that? How dare you throw away my things?

I didn't know.

I saw the paper was dirty, so I thought you wouldn't want it.

That's why I threw it in the trash.

What? You thought my writing was trash?

- No. - You lousy maid! Get lost!

- Don't, Master! - I'll kill you!

Stop. Or I won't play nice!

You want me to stop?

- I'll kill you! You threw away my things! - Stop it!

- You lousy maid! - Let me go!

Chun Yu, stop!

- I'll kill you! - Chun Yu! Chun Yu!

- Chun Yu! - Master!

Get lost!

I'll kill you!

You hit me like some no-good maid.

If you strike me, I'll strike you back!

- You hit me? - So what?

I'll kick you to death!

- You lousy maid! - Don't do this, Chun Yu!

- Get off! I'll kick you to death! - Chun Yu!

Chun Yu, stop!

Stop it, Chun Yu.

My bangle.

Give it back. Give it back!

Get off me.

I'm warning you. I'm going to drink now.

If I see you again later, I'll kill you!

Give it back!

You call yourself a man, you woman beater?

What did you say?

I said you're no man, hitting women like this!

I'm not a man?

Fine! I'll show you how much of a man I am!

What do you want?

Go away! Let go!

- Stop! - Chun Yu!

- Go away! " L€t me

I failed you, Yee Wah.

It's all my fault.

If I didn't let you stay, this wouldn't have happened.

I think you should leave tomorrow.

I don't dare to let you stay here anymore.

How are you feeling, Madam?

I'll get the doctor to check on you tomorrow.

- No, I... - She's still here.

She thinks I'm a joke.

You're still here, you lousy maid? Get out of here!

I'm not leaving!

Go!

Chun Yu!

- Chun Yu, don't kick her out. - I'm not leaving!

- It's raining so hard. How can she go? - Go!

Chun Yu!

My bangle. My bangle!

- Yee Wah, don't let him have it. - Stop there!

Go. Go. Go!

Give it back!

- No way! - Give it back!

This belongs to Madam! I won't let you have it!

Why, you...

Don't let him get it!

No!

Don't!

Don't do that!

Madam!

Come and help me!

Come on.

Madam, calm down.

Calm down.

Madam.

What do we do now, Yee Wah?

We'll drag him to the pond

and pretend he got drunk and fell in like he did before,

only this time he drowned.

Hurry UP!

Don't think about it.

Now quick! Come and help me!

Hurry, Madam.

Come on, quick.

Madam.

I'm sorry I scared you.

Please take your medicine.

It'll be no good if it gets cold.

I'm not taking it.

I want to go to the pond and check. I'm going out.

Madam.

Don't go. Why are you so anxious?

You look so pale. It'll only be more trouble if people see you.

I don't care. I'm going.

Chun Yu's body might have already floated to the surface.

I want to check if anyone has seen it.

Alright. I'll go with you.

It's not here.

Madam, what are you doing?

Don't be so nervous.

You could be seen. Let's come back in a couple of days.

Madam! You're out early.

I haven't seen Master for a while. How is he?

He's... He's...

Thanks for asking.

Master isn't feeling well, so he's resting at home.

So he's not feeling well.

No wonder I haven't seen him for a while.

I was worried he'd fall into the pond after getting drunk.

Thank you for your concern!

- Madam, let's go. - No. I'm not going.

- I want to wait and see if he floats up. - No. What if people see us?

Come on, hurry. Let's go.

| got one!

- You got one? Come on. - Grandpa, I got one! Help me.

It's coming out.

- Pull hard. - It's so heavy. Must be a big fish.

Pull hard, Grandpa.

- It must be a Whopper. - Yeah.

Pull it up.

Why is there a piece of cloth here?

I thought it was a big fish.

- It's just a blanket. - Madam!

CHAN FAMILY ANCESTORS

You killed your husband. I want you dead!

No!

Help! Help! Save me!

Help! Don't strangle me!

- Don't strangle me! Don't! - Madam.

- What's going on? - Don't. Don't!

- Chun Yu wants to strangle me to death. - Madam.

- Don't strangle me! Don't! - Madam. No.

It's Yee Wah. Look, it's me.

What are you doing? Look.

Chun Yu came back to take revenge on me.

- No, that's not true, Madam. - He wanted to strangle me.

- It's true. - No.

- He wanted to strangle me. - I'm here.

Chun Yu, I'm sorry.

I know it was wrong to kill you.

Don't come to take revenge on me.

Don't be scared.

Go to sleep. I'll stay with you. No need to be afraid. Sleep.

Come on, don't be scared. I'm here with you.

Go to sleep.

Madam?

Madam!

Madam?

Madam.

Madam.

Madam?

Madam, where are you?

Madam, it's me! It's me!

There's a corpse! A corpse, a corpse!

It's alright.

Look, it's a dead dog.

I looked for you all morning. So this is where you were.

Come here.

Madam Chan's illness is very serious.

I've increased the dose of my prescription.

Fetch a few of these and boil it for her at once.

- Twice a day, morning and night. - Alright.

Also, don't let her get cold and don't let her get upset again.

Understood. Thank you, Doctor.

- Let's check it out! - Quick!

Tell me, are you a relative of the Chans, young lady?

I'm a friend.

I paid a visit and stayed on to help Madam since she's sick.

Why are there so many people here?

Captain. Why are you draining the pond all of a sudden?

Mr. Chou from across the way complained

that the pond stinks and that there might be a corpse in it,

so we're draining the water to check.

Yes, this is a strange pond, alright.

I was fishing here a few days ago, but caught nothing.

Later on, I fished out a blanket.

- Wow. - How about that?

Madam! Madam!

- What's the matter? - Madam!

We're in trouble.

There are workmen draining the pond.

Why are they draining the pond?

I heard the police say that the water stinks

and there's a body in it.

They want to drain the pond dry to find the corpse.

Did they find Chun Yu, then?

- Did they? - No.

- I'm going to check. - Madam.

- I must go and see. - Don't go.

- Don't stop me. - Look at yourself. Don't go.

- I want to check. - Madam!

- Why drain the water? - There's nothing in it.

- Why does it stink so much, then? - Nothing's in it.

- There's nothing in it. - Nothing.

- There's no corpse. - Maybe they'll find something.

- Goodness. It stinks. - Nothing's in it.

There's nothing in it.

There's even a few fish.

Lots of fish.

WOW!

There's a dead pig. No wonder it stinks.

Captain, there's nothing at the bottom of the pond.

Only a dead pig. The stench is terrible.

No wonder it stinks. Ask them to take it away.

- Come help! - Over here, fellas!

Chun Yu... Chun Yu...

Where exactly are you, Chun Yu?

Chun Yu, where are you?

Chun Yu...

Live fish!

Chun Yu, I'm sorry.

Are you alright, Madam?

- She's fine. I'll take her home. - I'm sorry, Chun Yu.

Chun Yu... Chun Yu...

- Sau Ying! - Sau Ying, why are you gone so soon?

Bow.

May your family live long.

Master Yeung.

I know Madam's illness was very hard to treat.

You can say that she passed away peacefully.

My condolences.

I hope you can make proper arrangements

so she can be buried.

I can't bury her now

because she said her body should be taken to be buried in Xiamen.

I therefore must store her body in a coffin at home first.

When a boat is available, I'll take her back to Xiamen.

Alright. That's good, too.

Madam Chan Sau Ying has passed away.

Will her family members please follow me?

Starting from the closest relatives, follow me from generation to generation.

Longevity, health,

safety, fortune.

Now please return to your original positions.

Prepare to close the coffin.

To avoid any conflict, please pay attention.

Those of you who are 28, 35, and 48 years old,

please pay attention and turn your backs.

Great luck. There's no taboo.

Close the coffin now.

COFFIN OF CHAN SAU YING

Jade Emperor in the Heavenly Palace, King of Hell in the Temple of Ten Kings.

Heavenly god, Earth god,

Chan Sau Ying of the Yeung family passed away at the age of 30.

MOUNT WEST COFFIN HOME

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR WEDDING DAY

Take a look. My lousy wife hoarded so much stuff.

Good thing I found all of it.

From now on, we don't need to worry.

Here, this jade bangle is yours now.

Do you like it?

Isn't this jade bangle the late Madam's?

You're the Madam now, aren't you?

Yee Wah. From now on, we need not sneak around.

We're officially husband and wife.

Not only that, but we have so much jewelry too.

You have enough to spend for a lifetime.

You're so clever.

You came up with this plan to scare her to death by pretending to be a ghost.

It's all thanks to this cigarette holder that let me breathe in the water jar.

- You were great as Miss Fuk's daughter. - Oh my.

You too. You played dead in the pond so well.

You deserve a kiss.

MOUNT WEST COFFIN HOME

IN MEMORY OF MADAM CHAN SAU YING

COFFIN OF CHAN SAU YING

It's morning.

Come back here now.

I'm going to close the doors.

Sir, I think I heard a noise.

Madam Chan's memorial tablet fell to the floor.

It's alright. I'll put it back.

Sir, I just remembered.

Today's the seventh day since Madam Chan's death.

Could her ghost really be that fierce?

IN MEMORY OF MADAM CHAN SAU YING

Don't talk nonsense.

I'm not talking nonsense.

If the memorial tablet falls on the seventh day after death,

the soul isn't at peace, they say.

And it fell to the floor just now.

Are you kidding me?

The wind knocked it over.

I've done this for over 20 years. I've seen it all.

There's no such thing.

Go!

Let's get out of here.

The red bean paste has gone cold.

I'll get some hot paste from the kitchen.

Yee Wah.

Yes?

We have money now, and this is such a big house.

How about we hire a maid to serve us?

I can see to your needs.

Chun Yu.

Chun Yu.

Chun Yu! Chun Yu, come quickly!

Chun Yu!

- What's the matter? - Come quickly!

What is it?

I think I heard someone in Madam's room.

How can that be? Don't be superstitious.

No, I really heard something.

Don't be scared. It's just rats stealing food.

It's fine.

Does the furniture scare you?

Alright, then. I'll have it burned tomorrow.

Then you need not be scared.

Man, what a lot of dust!

Stop! What are you trying to do?

Master, this mahogany furniture is so beautiful.

Are we really going to burn it all?

Yes. Burn it all.

Why, though?

These were Madam's.

She passed away recently.

Doctor said it was pulmonary heart disease.

It's more sanitary to burn them.

These are the late Madam's?

It's such a waste to burn them.

It's so beautiful. It'd be nice if you gave it to me.

Look at you! Stop getting ideas in your head.

Stop moving around.

Hey, you dropped the spittoon.

Hey!

Come here.

Come on, let's go.

I'll go out to supervise the furniture burning.

I'm going too.

Don't.

I won't be at ease if I don't see them burn.

Alright.

Come on.

Watch it.

Throw them on the fire.

- Watch it. - Go get some more.

Toss it on.

Here you go!

- Here! - There's more.

Bring that over.

- What a waste. - Such a shame.

- Who told you to move my furniture? - Master did.

He said Madam passed away

and told us to burn all her furniture for sanitary reasons.

Don't move it.

What? Why not? Who are you?

I am the Madam here.

You can't fool me.

Master said the Madam is dead.

You're Madam?

If I say don't move the furniture, then don't.

If you don't believe me, call the Master.

Fine. I'll call him in.

Let's see if you still dare to keep up this act.

- Alright. - What are you doing here?

- Why aren't you moving things? - I need Master.

Master, a woman calling herself Madam won't let me move things.

What should I do?

What did you say?

I said a woman in that room just now

says she's Madam.

She won't let me move the things. What should I do, Master?

What does she look like?

Oval-faced, with her hair in a bun.

She looked very pasty, actually.

Chun Yu, how did this happen?

I'll close the door and see where that pasty girl can go.

Here, Master. She was standing right there.

That's weird. How did she get out of here?

Where did she go?

How strange.

There's no one here.

I don't believe it.

She was standing right here.

Could it have been Madam's ghost?

Look at that! My word.

Did your bladder explode?

My... My legs... This is bad.

Save me. There's... There's a ghost.

Hey, hey, hey! Get back here and move this stuff!

The fool.

Master, there's no such thing as ghosts in this world.

He's crazy.

Come on, let's move this stuff. Come on.

I can give the payment to you, can't I?

Yes. Don't worry.

The boss is burning the furniture outside.

Just give it to me.

Thank you.

- Yee Wah, come here. - What's the matter?

That's disgusting.

Who killed my bird?

Could it be the movers?

No.

I watched them work.

Could it be the late Madam?

Absolutely not.

Why are you back here?

Master, as you know, there was a lot of heavy furniture.

My men worked very hard.

How much do you want?

Two dollars.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

Wait.

Why did you kill my bird?

We didn't.

When could we have killed your bird?

- You were watching us move. - It's no use talking to him.

He wouldn't admit it anyway.

- Forget it. Go. - We really didn't.

- I swear. - Go.

- Go. - I'll hang on to this.

I'll give the rest to them.

Stop right there.

What is it this time?

You rich people are so troublesome.

Just tell me whatever it is.

We're very busy.

I told your friend not to move my furniture.

Why did you all still do so?

Drop the act.

My friend may be afraid of ghosts,

but ghosts are afraid of me.

Why do I only see myself in the mirror,

and not you?

You can't see me?

Open your eyes and look closely.

Why do I only see myself and not her?

It's me. Yee Wah, it's me. Don't be scared.

- What's the matter? - A ghost!

Madam's ghost was by the door.

- You really saw her? - She was there.

- Really? Where? - Yes. Over there.

She's not here.

She was. She was standing here. She even hung upside down over there.

She was right there.

And the spittoon had blood in it.

It's gone.

Why is this cigarette holder here?

- You're just worked up over nothing. - No. It was here.

Don't be afraid. Go to bed.

Chun Yu.

Chun Yu.

Chun Yu! Chun Yu!

Chun Yu! Chun Yu!

Chun Yu, what's the matter? Are you alright?

I was going down the stairs and I felt someone push me.

Really?

Chun Yu, I just saw Madam go into her room with some medicine.

Are you alright?

I'm not going. I don't dare to.

Wait for me!

There's no one here.

You have to stop scaring yourself.

There's no ghost.

So she's still alive.

MOUNT WEST COFFIN HOME

COFFIN OF CHAN SAU YING

How strange. Why is the coffin on the floor?

Don't look inside it, Chun Yu.

Why don't we just go home?

Madam!

Madam, don't scare me.

Madam, I know my mistake.

It's all my fault.

I shouldn't have colluded with him to kill you.

I know my mistake.

Forgive me, Madam.

Spirit of heaven and earth.

In the name of the Supreme Venerable Sovereign!

Spirit of heaven and earth.

Madam's ghost won't visit here again after this ritual for her.

Don't worry.

Thank you. Thank you, Tao Master.

STRANGE TALES FROM A CHINESE STUDIO

TABLE OF CONTENTS THE RESUSCITATED CORPSE

It's impossible.

She was dead in the coffin.

How could she be back?

Help! Help me!

Stop!

Help!

She's gone.

- Sir. - Where did she go?

Did you see someone move Madam Chan's corpse?

No. We live at the back. We didn't hear anything in here at all.

Miss Wu, her ghost is very fierce.

Yes. When we came to light the oil lamp before,

we saw Madam Chan's coffin fall to the floor.

Her ghost is really fierce.

- Yes, her ghost is so fierce. Come on. - Yes, let's go.

So she really is alive.

You want to frighten me? We'll see about that.

Madam!

Madam!

Madam!

Madam! It's Choi!

I took your letter!

Why do you look like a ghost?

You almost scared me to death.

Where's Madam?

Madam? She's dead.

She became a ghost.

No way. She died so quickly?

She was fine before.

I even brought some new wares for her.

Don't mess with me.

You said Madam was dead. She's standing right there!

She's not Madam. She's a ghost!

She came to scare me!

Madam turned into a ghost to scare you?

And now she's gone.

I'm getting goosebumps all over.

- I'd better go. Move! - No. Don't go!

This is Madam's jade bangle. Why do you have it?

It wasn't me. I didn't mean for her to die.

So you killed Madam?

I'll report you to the police!

Chun Yu! No! Don't!

Stop it, Chun Yu! Chun Yu!

A turtle.

Help!

Help!

Namo Amitabha Buddha. Namo Amitabha Buddha.

Namo Amitabha Buddha. Namo Amitabha Buddha.

Namo Amitabha Buddha. Namo Amitabha Buddha.

That looks like a finger.

And these look like teeth.

Dentures.

How grisly.

It's a hand!

Why is the hand like this? Oh, it's a Buddha's hand fruit.

- Sir, please don't do that. - I wanted to see how sharp it is.

Stop kidding around, sir.

Be careful! That's very sharp.

Let me have a drink to calm myself first.

Homage...

Priest!

Get out!

Hey! Don't pull me. Let go!

Let me go! Let me go!

|'|| chop you UP-

Oh no, it's stuck to me!

Oh no!

Wake up, Priest.

What are you doing? Are you dreaming?

I dreamed that her hand was strangling me.

You haven't done the ritual yet.

I won't be doing it.

I'm busy. Busy.

No wonder.

This house has a powerful ghost aura and no aura of the living.

The ghost follows you around all day long.

I'll pay whatever you want.

Just get rid of the ghost.

She already killed my husband. I'm so scared.

If you told me to come earlier, nothing would have happened.

Alright.

I'll ask King Yama to send her soul to the 18th level of hell

so she won't ever reincarnate.

Then she won't dare to mess with you anymore.

Give me Madam's dates of birth and death.

DECREE

Who are you? State your name!

I'm Chan Sau Ying. Why did you ask for me?

You're dead.

Why do you still come to the Human Realm to commit evil?

I want to take revenge!

You cannot be rude with me around! You deserve a beating!

That ghost won't do you harm ever again.

If she dares to come again tonight,

recite the Truth Sutra on Deliverance from Suffering and don't top.

Ignore whatever's happening.

When day breaks, she will never bother you again.

GRAVE OF CHAN SAU YING

TO CHAN SAU FONG XIAMEN GOVERNMENT OFFICE

I received your letter.

I was very sad to read about your predicament.

You and I are twins.

We're bound by blood,

so I made no delay in coming to you.

They say that twins are unlucky.

I never believed it.

But it seems they were right, after all.

Help!

I never expected to find you had been scared to death

by Chun Yu when I saw you.

So I went to the Mount West Coffin Home

and removed your body

so I could scare Chun Yu to death.

You died such a tragic death.

Your corpse was even chopped to bloody pieces.

I've failed you.

But it couldn't be helped

if I was going to avenge you.

Sau Ying.

I really regret that I arrived too late.

But I've finally taken revenge for you.

I think that you can be at peace now

in the afterlife.

The Chan Residence has been deserted ever since.

The story of Number 13, Chonggui New Street

was inadvertently spread throughout Xiguan, Guangzhou.

After a few years, Yee Wah also went missing.
