Where is the source of originality?

The phrase "a dead friend will never die" comes from the mantra of Huang Junxiong puppet show character "a Taoist with a bad tail" (which means unlucky in Minnan). The "Bad Tail Taoist" in the play is a funny villain, who often makes suggestions and leads the big brother who takes refuge to take advantage. When the situation is unfavorable, he runs away.

Extended data:

Boo dei hi (Minnan dialect), also known as puppet show with bags, hand puppet show, handbag puppet show, palm puppet show, small cage and finger floral art, originated in Quanzhou or Zhangzhou, Fujian, China in the17th century. A traditional local opera mainly spread in Quanzhou, Zhangzhou (southern Fujian), Chaoshan, Guangdong and Taiwan Province provinces.

The head of the puppet is carved into a hollow head with wood. Except for the head, hands and feet of the puppet, the trunk and limbs of the puppet are made of cloth. When performing, put gloves into the puppet's costume and perform a puppet show.

It is precisely because the dolls of this kind of performance in the early days are very similar to "cloth bags" that the general name of puppet show is given. In many early occasions to welcome temple fairs, puppet show was one of the most common folk opera performances.
