In Chinese myths and legends, Po Meng is a magical being. She wears simple clothes, an iron crown on her head, and holds a long ladle. She is responsible for cooking soup for the souls of the dead by the Naihe Bridge.
Mengpo soup is regarded as a special soup whose unique effect can make the soul forget the memories of previous lives. When the dead souls pass through Naihe Bridge and prepare to leave hell, Meng Po will hand them a steaming bowl of Meng Po soup. The dead soul must finish the bowl of Meng Po soup, otherwise it will not be reincarnated. After drinking Meng Po Soup, the memory of the previous life will be completely erased, and the soul will be reincarnated.
However, the truth may be horrifying to contemplate...
