Scene from "Ruffian Cop"Chinese people try to avoid water activities during the ghost month (the 7th month according to the Chinese lunar calendar) as they fear the water ghosts who would be on the lookout for humans to occupy their watery grave so that they could be free. As today is the second day of the 8th lunar month, that means that the gates of Hades are closed and all the ghosts are back there. So, ladies and gentlemen, it's safe to go near the water again.
What gave me the inspiration to blog about this was an article about Zai Zai that I read today.
Here is an excerpt from the article titled "Zaizai films speedboat and gunfight scene during Ghost Month - No Taboos":
Traditionally people are likely to avoid water activities in the ghost month. But Zai Zai said "(in my) many years of shooting dramas, I have never seen any ghost or strange things. I guess I have a very heavy "Ba Zi". Recently Mark, Chen and many staff have seen a boy wondering around the front door of the building they stay. This made everyone feel spooky. Zai Zai said "I haven't seen any boy. I have deliberately stayed awake to see (a) ghost in (the) middle of the night. Counting 1:00 am, 2:00 am, 3:00 am..., I still see nothing."
Well, luckily Zai Zai appears to have come out unscathed from the speedboat scenes and the watery ghosts did not take a fancy to him as to want him as a substitute. He is a good actor and losing him would be another blow to me as I only have a handful of acting idols left (Johnnny Depp, Shah Rukh Khan, Tony Leung and Bobby Au Yeong).
Oh! I am not sure if someone with heavy Ba Zi will not be able to see ghosts. Anyway, the article above was translated from Chinese by someone and there might be some error in translation. As far as I know, if someone is low in spirit (lemah semangat) or who is very low in luck, they might most likely be able to see ghosts. And also there are those born with Yin Yang eyes who would be able to see those from the spirit world. So we now know that ZZ does not have Yin Yang eyes nor is his aura weak.
