Li Bihua's Ghost Series: Mysterious Night (Cantonese)

In 'Stolen Goods,' the impoverished middle-aged man Guan Fuqiang (played by Ren Dahua) finds himself without a job and gradually walks into despair. He blames heaven and man, resenting the unfairness of fate. As the saying goes, poverty breeds change; having been fearful of poverty his entire life, Guan resorts to desperate measures by stealing someone else's ashes, attempting to extort ransom for survival. In the darkness, it's hard to distinguish between humans and ghosts; in 'Letting Go,' the music exorcist He Ke (played by Leung Kar-Fai) is forced to close his business due to high rent and, on his last day, encounters a couple who claims to have encountered ghosts. Given the complexity of the situation, he introduces them to his friend, a crystal fortune-teller Wang Lan (played by Karen Mok). However, his final day of business does not end so simply, as a student girl with a tightly clenched left hand approaches He master. In 'The Awakening of Insects,' during the White Tiger festival, Granny Zhu (played by Siu Yin-Yin) comes as usual to set up a stall at Goose Neck Bridge to perform curses. That night, a wealthy lady (played by Gu Mei-Hua) and a client named Liang Zhenying (played by Lu Haipeng) visit her. Just as Granny Zhu is about to pack up, a grim-faced girl sitting nearby demands that she perform curses to retaliate against three men and one woman. This film is adapted from a short story by Li Bihua.
