  • 这个故事叫《乌盆记》，后来被编成了京剧。人们爱听它，不只是因为有鬼，更因为在那个年代，连一个冤魂都相信，只要找到包青天，公道就一定会来。

    The story is called The Black Basin and was later made into a Beijing opera. People love it not just for the ghost, but because in those days even a wronged spirit believed that if you could reach Bao the Upright, justice would surely come.
