Read 500 words of strange stories from a strange studio.

Ghosts are really terrible things. Those female ghosts in horror movies, with long hair and robes, pale faces with white eyes and bloodshot purple lips, always make people feel creepy. But I envy those people who meet ghosts in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio.

The ghosts described in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio are water ghosts, foxes, scary ghosts and so on. The kindness of these ghosts is admirable. The story Wang Liulang tells the profound friendship between a fisherman and a water ghost. Fishermen go fishing every night, drink half a glass of wine by themselves and pour the other half into the sea. At this time, he cast a net and caught many fish. Later, he realized that the water ghost had played a trick on it and became friends with it. A few days later, there should have been a drowning man to replace the water ghost, but he gave up the opportunity and didn't want to hurt human beings. The water ghost accepted the fisherman's wine, knew how to repay the kindness and helped the fisherman catch fish. How touching. The fox spirits who helped Wang Cheng get rich in Wang Cheng's story are also amazing. But I will also say some bad ghosts. For example, Yan Yan, who was bribed by the rich sheep, beat a kind person indiscriminately. Bat demon attacks humans at night, and I hate it very much.

This reading changed my previous view of this book. It turns out that Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio is not about ghosts with teeth and claws, but about good ghosts. I also know that it is with feelings of social hatred that Pu Songling wrote some works in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio that exposed political darkness and described the greedy and vicious faces of corrupt officials and bullies.

Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio has created many touching images of foxes and ghosts, coupled with the writer's superb art, the ingenious combination of human feelings and fantasy scenes and plots, emitting an ideal light, which has benefited me a lot.
