Special Edition: The Legend of Li Xian

Welcome to an exclusively special episode of The Talk Cock Show with Koh Li Xian. It has brought to my attention that a 1963 Hong Kong film was made about me even before I was born. A truly amazing fact that has caught me by surprise. As the website did not tell the storyline of the movie, I believe it is my utmost responsibility to make sure the worldwide audience know what the movie is about. So here it is, a Cheung Wai-Kwong film, multi award winning production that has somehow lost its way into the 21st century. I present to you........The Legend Of Li Xian.

The Legend Of Li Xian

During the 1950s, there was a man named Koh Li Xian (acted by KWAN Hoi-San) who has lived on top of the roof for his past 20 years. He feeds on the smoke coming out of the chimney whenever his neighbours are cooking. As he inhales more smoke, he gets more tan. And he likes it. BUT. Little did he know that by inhaling so much smoke, he gradually becomes stronger and stronger. He developed an uncanny supernatural power….which is….to have any supernatural power that he wants.

One day as he decided to go downtown to look for some chimneys, he bumped into a squirrel (acted by LEUNG Sing-Bo). The squirrel looked at Li Xian and Li Xian asked the squirrel, “Hey squirrel! How are you today? Let me ask you something, how do you communicate with your fellow squirrels?” The squirrel hesitated for a while and ran away. Li Xian continued his journey to the city as he started to feel alittle hungry.

“No!!! This is too shocking!!!” Li Xian heard. A woman’s voice from afar caught his attention and he realized it’s best to keep up with the latest gossips. As he went towards to voice, he got a shock of his life. “Why are you so afraid? Why are you looking so shocked? “Because you seem shocked, you gave me the shock of my life as well.” He said. The woman (acted by TENG Pi-yun) replied “Because I saw the “shock” on the signboard near the electrical engine room that says “Electric Shock”, I got a shock when the word “Shock” shocked me. It was simply shocking. I’m shocked that you are shocked as well.” Li Xian felt relieved and carried on his journey.

Li Xian finally reached the city, but he could not believe his eyes. The city was in ruins. A city in dire state. The city has nothing left. The only thing left behind was something that is called…..Nothing. He walked and walked…at the corner of Sesame Street, he found a bowl of sesame paste that had some peanuts on top of it. He felt really hungry….he held the bowl, looked at it and said, “Gosh it looks so black, and it’s making me hungry. I better go search for some really black smoke. I’m sure there are still some burning ruins around.” He put the bowl down gently and searched around. As he is about to reach the end of the city, he found a CD. A CD is the city! He rushed to an electrical shop and played it on a CD player. “If you are listening to this CD now, you are the Chosen One. You need to save the city from the powers of evil. In order to save the city, you must know how to save. Every penny counts. A little goes a long way….” After hearing, Li Xian starts to feel passionate. He felt like he needed to do something for the city to prevent the already destroyed city from the powers of evil. “What should I do? How do I save the city? I have no money with me now.” He wondered. Just as he is about to despair, he saw a figure walking towards him. Being short-sighted, Li Xian could not see very clearly. To make things worse, the black smoke he has been breathing all his life made him really tanned, making others more difficult to see him.

Who is the mystery person? How is he related to the destroyed city? Can the mystery man see Li Xian? Is Li Xian still as hungry before he found the CD? Is the mystery man hungry too? To find out, stay tuned to the next episode of The Talk Cock Show with Koh Li Xian. The continuation of the box-office blockbuster film of the 1960s, The Legend of Li Xian. Don’t miss it.
