The Last Jiangshi
In Chinese folklore, the corpse-herding rituals of Xiangxi gave birth to the myth of the jiangshi, or hopping vampire. In 1985, Mr. Vampire brought the jiangshi to the big screen, making it a cultural icon. Over thirty years later, as the genre fades into memory, The Last Jiangshi (original title: China’s Last Vampire) finds the only known jiangshi still existing in the modern world—Old Li.
