Mermaids
kidnap Chen Shui's bride on their wedding night. Seemingly, the abduction
has something to do a traditional marriage gift of a pearl necklace
[which had been created from tears of mermaids]. The forlorn Chen sets
sail for a small island in the South China Sea where the mermaids live.
Even
though the English title identifies the creatures here as 'mermaids,'
the original Mandarin/Chinese title calls them 'Jiaoren,' mythical
creatures from folklore which were a fusion of shark and gillmen. Yes,
as seen from the pictures on this page, these mermaids are both
female and male.
