Kisah Hantu - Hantu Cina

---

Rather than a single, continuous novel, the book is a beautifully curated anthology of six traditional Chinese legends and ghost stories. Hearn meticulously selected these tales from ancient Chinese scrolls and literature, rewording them with a deeply atmospheric, lyrical, and romantic prose style that feels more like a collection of dark fairy tales than a standard horror book.

The collection includes some of the most famous and poignant legends from Chinese folklore:

The Soul of the Great Bell (Kisah Lonceng Besar): A heartbreaking story about a devoted daughter named Ko-Ngai. When her father faces execution because he repeatedly fails to cast a massive bronze bell for the Emperor, Ko-Ngai leaps into the molten metal to perfect the alloy, leaving behind only her shoe. It is said the bell's deep, melancholic chime sounds like her crying out for her mother.

The Story of Ming-Y (Kisah Ming-Y): A classic, ethereal romance between a young, brilliant scholar and a breathtakingly beautiful woman named Tien-Pao. As their secret love affair deepens, the scholar slowly uncovers a terrifying truth—the mansion he visits and the woman he loves belong to a historical court lady who passed away centuries ago.

The Legend of Tche-Niu (Legenda Tche-Niu): A story exploring the theme of filial piety and supernatural debt, where a divine weaver woman descends from heaven to marry a poor mortal man to help him pay off his debts, blending romance with celestial duty.

The Return of Yen-Tchin-King: A tale of absolute loyalty, honor, and justice that transcends physical death, showing how a righteous scholar-official continues to serve his emperor and uphold truth even from the spiritual realm.
