Carman Lee linked with the cemetery again in her new movie

Hong Kong actress Carman Lee recently returned to the big screen with a new movie "Butterfly Cemetery", or Hu Die Gong Mu in Chinese.

Carman Lee is best known for her role as Xiao Longnv in the martial arts drama "The Return of the Condor Heroes." Xiao Longnv, a young girl who spent her childhood and youth growing up in an ancient graveyard, is a master of martial arts despite her tender age.

During an exclusive interview with Carman Lee, the actress revealed that her role in "Butterfly Cemetery" is surprisingly similar to the role she portrayed in the television drama "The Return of the Condor Heroes."

"I portray an owner of a cemetery, who never ages and cannot die. Amongst her tribe, the males are destined to die when they reach a certain age."

The movie "Butterfly Cemetery" is an adaptation of Cai Jun's novel, based on a legend that every city is home to a mysterious cemetery that everyone is eager to find because it enables a person to realize his or her wishes.

But the story's mystery lies in the fact that all those who managed to locate this magical cemetery died as a result.
