A Chinese Ghost Story (Wade–Giles: Ch'ien-nü Yu-hun; literally "The Ethereal Spirit of a Beauty") is a 1987 Hong Kong romantic comedy horror filmstarring Leslie Cheung, Joey Wong, and Wu Ma, directed by Ching Siu-tung, and produced by Tsui Hark.
The plot was loosely based on a short story fromQing Dynasty writer Pu Songling's Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio (????), and also inspired by the 1960 Shaw Brothers Studio film The Enchanting Shadow. The film was popular in Hong Kong and several Asian countries, including South Korea and Japan when released. Most notably it boosted the stardom of Joey Wong, won Leslie Cheung popularity in Japan, and sparked a trend of folklore ghost films in the Hong Kong film industry, including two sequels, an animated film, a television series and a 2011 remake.
