Dim sum is a large range of small Chinese dishes that are traditionally enjoyed in restaurants for brunch. Most modern dim sum dishes are commonly associated with Cantonese cuisine,although dim sum dishes also exist in other Chinese cuisines. In the tenth century,when the city of Canton (Guangzhou) began to experience an increase in commercial travel,many frequented teahouses for small-portion meals with tea called "yum cha" (brunch). "Yum cha" includes two related concepts. The first is "jat zung loeng gin",which translates literally as "one cup,two pieces". This refers to the custom of serving teahouse customers two delicately made food items,savory or sweet,to complement their tea. The second is dim sum,which translates literally to "touch the heart",the term used to designate the small food items that accompanied the tea.
A Chinese Ghost Story is a 1987 Hong Kong horror film starring Leslie Cheung,Joey Wong and Wu Ma,directed by Ching Siu-tung and produced by Tsui Hark. The plot is loosely based on a short story about Nie Xiaoqian from Qing dynasty writer Pu Songling's Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio and is 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. Although the film could not gain access to movie theaters in mainland China when it was first released,it became a cult film among young people in the mainland. At that time the film generated a phenomenal cult following among audiences,especially the generation born in the 1980s. In 2011,the Hong Kong producers screened a restored version officially in mainland China.
