A Chinese Ghost Story (Ch 《倩女幽魂》, pinyin: qian4 nü3 you1 hun2, literal meaning: "The Spirit of a Beauty") is a 1987 Hong Kong movie starring Leslie Cheung, Joey Wong and Wu Ma, directed by Ching Siu-tung and produced by Tsui Hark.
The story was inspired (but extensively modified) by and could be considered a loose cinematic presentation of the Ming Dynasty novelist Pu Songling's Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.
