Gwei the Hungry Ghost

Gwei the ghost is absolutely famished, but unlike the other ghosts in the cemetery, he won’t eat just anything. Luckily, it’s Ghost Festival month: the one time a year when ghosts can roam the realm of the living. Gwei flutters around the night market slurping up steaming noodles and crunching on crispy fried fish, but he’s still hungry! What will it take for him to finally feel full?
