Cry of the Cuckoo in the Temple

Cry of the Cuckoo in the Temple is a fable. Its central character Ho Yu Mung is a rich man's son who squanders his time and money on alcohol and women. On a hunting trip in the mountains, he is deeply affected by the callous violence of his friend Yip Kwun Hau, who kills a she-goat and a lamb. Going down the mountains, Ho trips and is injured. He rests in a villa where he meets the mistress, Chiu Ching Ha. He falls in love with Chiu, marries her, and settles down to family life, rearing a son and a daughter. One day, Yip's wife comes to inform Ho that her husband is dead, and before his death, he cried like the goats that he killed. Ho thinks that Yip's death is retribution. On his birthday, Ho sees a live lamb being dragged into the kitchen. He is reminded of Yip and swears never to kill. That night, Ho has a nightmare about a friend suffering from poverty and his ex-girlfriend seeking revenge on him as a ghost. Waking up from the nightmare, Ho leaves his wife and children to take up life in a monastery.
