[edit] Plot
In prison, the elderly, iconoclastic Chu wryly notes how shifting political sands alter the meanings of his works, labeling him subversive, disrespectful or dangerous. Who is Chu? Perhaps he is Pu Songling, the seventeenth-century author of Liaozhai Zhiyi, on which A Chinese Ghost Story was based. Or maybe this batty scholar is the Hong Kong film industry, whose irreverent movies seemed threatened by the 1997 Chinese handover. Pre-97 worries also informed Tsui’s Once Upon A Time In China a year later, and a fearful distrust of government lies at the center of A Chinese Ghost Story II.
