[倩女幽魂]
Ning Tsai-Shen (Leslie Cheung) takes shelter in an abandoned rural temple where he meets the beautiful Nieh Hsiao-Tsing (Joey Wong) and becomes instantly smitten. Unfortunately for them both, Hsiao-Ting is a ghost trapped in the human world by a vengeful tree spirit. This discovery sets Tsai-Shen on a journey alongside Taoist swordsman Yen Che-Hsia (Wu Ma) to liberate her so she can move on to the afterlife.
