THE YOUNG AVENGER

A young girl's life becomes hardship and misery when she devotes it to a blood debt.
An anti-High Noon wǔxiápiàn,
in which villagers don't panic, turn on each other, or ostracize certain individuals;
instead, they close ranks and organize a good defense against the outlaws.
Gutsy performances by Tung Lin, Li Shao Shung, and Ng Ming-Choi truly evoke the spirit of family.

Tung Lin in another fine appearance,
this time as Shih Szu's father, a retired swordsman.
Not only does Shih Szu pass as male, but she is also perceived by everybody as a beggar.
Hey, just go with it.
No, it is not an ancient typewriter. It is Yueh Hua's 鐵扇 tiě shàn.
Tael.
Imagine Fan Mei Sheng as an evil humpback with an ominously veiled secret weapon, about to enter your store.
Corpses strewn about the courtyard,
may not be the best ambience for a tavern.
Fan Mei Sheng uncorks the cídiǎn illustration
for a dàdāo.
Fan Mei Sheng manually dramatizes comeuppance.
Surprise!! The actor Fan Mei Sheng has very good teeth.
Not a surprise—Chan Shen is involved in a blood spurt.
