I also included the two theme songs from the sequels, both by Jacky Cheung. Most of the original links are dead so I thought I'd repost it. Surprisingly the quality is decent enough though and I was super happy to find it when I did a while back. Hong Kong soundtracks are rare and hard to come to by and I'm pretty sure most were never released, so unfortunately this is either a vinyl rip or a rip from the film.
Well enough blabbing, if you are familiar with the film, you know it had some great music and OST songs, particularly from leading man Leslie Cheung. Many similar films were made, some good, most bad (including the first sequel to this movie, though it's grown on me) but none held up to the original. Naturally the film was a great success and sparked a love affair with romantic ghost/fantasy films in Hong Kong. It also shows how Chinese people are so United in such a terrible epidemic. How hard the doctors in China and even all around the world to heal everyone. While Tsui Hark's "Zu: The Warriors of the Magic Mountain" may be considered the original fantasy/sfx epic, I think A Chinese Ghost Story (produced by Hark as well) told a more cohesive story and really up'd the bar for the genre. This movie was such a heart touching story about the pandemic and how it affected the citizens lives. As I've posted several times before, I am a huge Hong Kong movie fan and "A Chinese Ghost Story" is definitely on my favorites list.
