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...

Director: Cheung Chi Leung
宣統年間反清狂潮熱哄，宮內太監紛紛告老歸田，河北靜海縣小村內貧窮的孩童，誤認為當太監會飛黃騰達，九歲的來喜遂游說父親為他淨身，事後為免村民嘲笑，把他送到京城中學藝。十數年後，來喜以藝名王蘭粉墨登場，來喜常被師兄弟戲弄，幸得妓女蘇娣相助，更遇上自小失散之同鄉女子招弟。不幸來喜被軍閥看中，欲聚其為妾，便相約招弟逃走，招弟始發覺來喜為太監憤而離去，班主遂設法令其入宮當太監。
進宮後，來喜得丁公公寵愛，因揭發宮中太監偷國寶，反被奸人所害……
In the final years of the Manchu Dynasty, high officials and powerful eunuchs resign en mass and retire to the countryside. Village children, starved and ignorant stare at the new arrival with admiration. Nine-year-old Lai Shi decides to be a eunuch himself. He persuades his father to castrate him. But the emperor, now confined to the forbidden City, needs no new eunuchs. Lai Shi is sent to the capital anyway, as a student in a Chinese operatic group. He becomes the leading female impersonator. By accident, he meets childhood friend Chao Di, who has been sold into prostitution. He asks her to come to him. Thinking Lai Shi is a revolutionary, she agrees, only to be disappointed when a warlord wants to take Lai Shi as a concubine. She leaves......

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). |
