[Drink this bowl of Meng Po Soup, and we’ll still be brothers in the next life!]
Meng Po lived a lonely, miserable life and died young. In the end, she offended the King of Hell and was stuck serving soup at the Bridge of Helplessness.
King of Hell: "When will the runaway Meng Po come back? Whenever she does, you can go reincarnate!"
Meng Po: "Sure. I’m good at serving soup. Anyone who dares can drink it!"
A wealthy merchant who had traded with a demon: "I sold my soul to save my whole family, but these ungrateful descendants do nothing but bring shame on me!"
Meng Po: "You were willing to sell your soul, so why do you care about your reputation? Do you look down on souls? Aren’t souls worth anything?"
A vain female ghost who abandoned her husband and child took a drag on her cigarette. "A man who can’t even afford to buy me a bag has no right to say he loves me!"
Meng Po pointed at her rotting corpse. "Now the only ones willing to bring you a bag are mosquitoes. Do you like their love?"
A male ghost who neglected his family and parents for his career: "Heaven, in bestowing great responsibility on any man, will first test his resolve, exhaust his body, and make him suffer. How can an outstanding man be shackled by worldly attachments?"
Meng Po: "But you don’t seem all that outstanding now..."
The ghosts they’d helped: "..."
The whole operation was as fierce as a tiger. When a bowl of soup turned their lingering obsessions into smoke, someone clasped his hands behind his back and gazed into the distance, murmuring, "The underworld is empty, while evil ghosts roam among the living."
The ghosts they’d helped: "You’re the most evil ghost of all!"
A certain top: "Nonsense! My darling is the cutest ghost!"
(That’s not what happened!)
