About The Mermaid Princess
The Mermaid Princess of Dongting Lake had the misfortune of marrying ill, her husband being the depraved and tyrannical Prince of Jingchuan, who subjected her to relentless torment. By chance, she encountered the scholar Liu Yi, entrusting him with a blood-stained letter to seek aid from her father, the Dragon King. Ultimately rescued and returned to her maternal home, the Mermaid Princess and Liu Yi transcended the divide between mortal and immortal realms, uniting in a bond of true love.
Directed by Wong Tin-Lam, The Mermaid Princess leans on a strong ensemble — Ting Ying, Yu Hsin Chen, Hong Wei — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about fantasy titles of 1957.
