![]() Loosely based on the short story Nie Xiaoqian from the ancient chinese literary work Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio by Pu Songling (1640-1715), the film centers around a rather dopey but lovable Tax Collecter named Ning, whom had recently lost his love to another man and is still grieving over it. The animated was produced by Japanese animation studio, Triangle Staff (That has unfortunately gone into defunct). Released in 1997, it was written and produced by Tsui Hark (A major figure in the Golden Age of Hong Kong cinema, from roughly early 1980s to mid 1990s) and his company, Film Workshop. A Chinese Ghost Story: The Tsui Hark Animation would not only be the first (And possibly still the only one) Chinese Ghost Story animation adaptation, but would also be the first Chinese animated feature film from Hong Kong.
