YesAsia Editorial Description
Director Jacob Cheung and star Andy Lau offered the blockbuster A Battle of Wits in 2006, but the two actually first collaborated in 1987 with Cheung's first feature film Lai Shi, China's Last Eunuch. The film also stars Sammo Hung, Max Mok, Irene Wan, and award-winning actress Kuei Ya Lei. Jacob Cheung always sympathizes with the underprivileged and the ordinary, showing the human side of his heroes. Lai Shi, China's Last Eunuch is no exception, with the film's concern for the unfortunate eunuch portrayed by superstar Andy Lau.
Adapted from a semi-autobiographical novel, Lai Shi, China's Last Eunuch is set in China during the decline of the last dynasty. A lot of eunuchs return home for retirement and young boy Lai Shi, seeing their affluence, decides to become a eunuch to earn more money for the family. However, after his castration, the dynasty is overthrown and the imperial family stops recruiting new eunuchs. Lai Shi therefore ends up learning Peking Opera in Beijing, but after a few years he has a chance to work in the palace - the Qing Emperor is allowed to keep his imperial way of living even after abdication. But that does not mean Lai Shi can lead a better life from then onwards...

清末民亂兵變，孩童來喜眼羨老太監回鄉時之風光，便要父母替其淨身。不久，滿清被推翻，來喜當太監不成，被送往京城學戲。其後偶遇兒時玩伴招弟，有意過正常的家庭生活，但身份被揭露後未能如願。戲班班主同情來喜身世，設法安排他入宮做中國最後一個太監。民國十三年，溥儀被逐出紫禁城，來喜亦開始了他的漂泊生涯……
At the end of Qing Dynasty when the whole country was a chaos, a village child Lai Shi decided to castrate himself to be a eunuch after he saw a great scene of an old eunuch returning back to the village. But as the Qing Dynasty was pulled down soon, he had to stay in a Chinese operatic group to learn and act as a female role. Later on, when he came across Chao Di, one of his friends who he knew from his childhood, he wanted to lead a normal life like others. He finally failed as she knew he castrated himself. The leader of the group then helped him out and arranged him a chance to serve as a eunuch in the palace. In 1924, after the emperor was dislodged out of the Forbidden City, Lai Shi began his anchorless life.

Brief appearances
| This film is ok but Andy Lau only appears very briefly in this film as the leading male actor is actually Mok Sui Chun(I think). |
