A Tale of the Stolen Peach
A lifeless old mansion hosts the liveliest birthday banquet. Guests enjoy the food and music while the birthday star remains silent. Only a peach seems to stir her soul. Adapting a story from Qing-era writer Pu Sonling’s zhiguai collection “Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio”, A TALE OF THE STOLEN PEACH narrates the traditional Chinese cultural sympathy for the deceased, “finding rest in the blessed kingdom for spectral spirits.”
