Before
dying, Diao's father ordered his son to go searching for an old friend
in a faraway, remote village. Diao went and found a fortune of happiness.
In this village, he became famous by winning the buffalo-racing event,
then a boxing competition and, ultimately, the affections of the village
beauty. However, on the negative side, when Diao began rallying the poor
people into a humanitarian protest, he managed to upset a group of local
gangsters. Diao gets attacked by the thugs who beat him and then behead
him. A bit later, Diao wakes as a headless ghost with a quest for vengeance.

incorrect' sense of humor see: GHOST
OF THE RAPED, BODY

SIN SISTERS and GHOST
STORY OF A PROSTITUTE'S HEAD IN THE AIR DUCT.
